What changed
The Ethereum Foundation describes zkAPI, a system that funds private usage credits through an Ethereum vault and authorizes API spending with proofs. Public deposits and withdrawals do not expose the individual requests paid for.
Why it matters
Payment privacy does not make request contents or network metadata private. A provider may still observe the request and correlate timing; a chain transfer alone cannot establish which conversation or API call followed.
Keep the transaction separate from the story.
Read the transaction guide before opening a supported Ethereum record. Record what the source shows and leave off-chain service usage unproven unless separate evidence supports it.
Read a transaction ↗Forensia is not integrated with zkAPI and cannot link its private credits to individual requests. This is an explanation of the published design, not a new launch alert.
