Vitalik Buterin-backed Nocturne protocol shuts down operations overnight
- Nocturne Labs Shutting Down Operations:
- Ethereum-native privacy protocol Nocturne Labs, backed by Vitalik Buterin, is closing down its operations.
- The company raised $6 million in a seed funding round in October 2023 but did not provide a reason for the closure.
- Users can still withdraw funds through the Nocturne front end until the end of June.
- Nocturne currently holds over $129,000 in total value locked (TVL), down from over $455,000 in January.
- Possible Regulatory Impact on Closure:
- Speculation suggests that regulatory crackdowns on privacy may have influenced Nocturne's decision to shut down.
- Privacy-focused cryptocurrency projects have faced increased scrutiny since Tornado Cash was blacklisted in August 2022.
- Despite being noncustodial, Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was found guilty of money laundering in May 2023.
