AZTEC has launched the StealthNote app that provides privacy to corporate whistleblowers
Developers behind the Ethereum Layer 2 Aztec network launched a whistleblowing platform called stealthnote that allowed workers to vent about their employer without announcing themselves.

Aztec Labs Developer Saleel Pichen write In an April 14 x post that the stealthnote creates a zero-knowledge proof of a Google JSON web token, which is used to prove users and allows the platform to prove a poster that owns “an email from a company domain without announcing any personal information.”
