Privacy Pools v2 lets users shield ETH and stables, then transact privately: transfers to any EVM address, in-pool swaps powered by LiFi, payment request links, and automatic yield via Aave added at unshield time. Withdrawals carry no onchain link to deposit addresses, and an exit option lets users reclaim funds regardless of approval status. Compliance is handled by 0xbow's ASP screening deposits and revocable approvals. The protocol is live on seven chains—Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, BNB Chain, Robinhood Crypto, and Citrea—with v1 still accessible. Technical partners were Wonderland and F&S, plus 500 trusted-setup participants.
