Zodl rolls out OHTTP wallet infrastructure that shields user IP addresses from wallet requests

Zodl has partnered with Cloudflare and Fastly to integrate Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP), an IETF standard, into its new self-operated wallet infrastructure. Wallet requests route through an independent relay that sees the user's IP but not request contents, while Zodl processes requests without seeing the IP. Previously, lightwallet server operators could see IP addresses and connection metadata, requiring Tor or trust for protection. The rollout occurs over the coming week via Zodl 3.20.0 on Android and iOS, with F-Droid and GitHub later. Zodl plans to let users eventually run infrastructure themselves, part of its Save, Spend, Run vision.
