0xbow is excited to announce our $3.5M seed round led by Starbloom Capital.

At 0xbow, we believe that privacy and compliance can coexist on Ethereum. That's why we're building @0xprivacypools, a self-custodial protocol that enables onchain privacy while allowing users to disassociate from illicit funds.

Privacy Pools is made possible by zero-knowledge proofs and @0xbowio's Associated Set Provider (ASP) which is a compliance layer that screens deposits & monitors transactions in real-time. With ASPs, users can prove their funds are legitimate while maintaining privacy.

Since launching on Mainnet in March 2025, Privacy Pools has processed $6M in transactions across 1500+ users. Users can deposit ETH and wstETH, wBTC, and popular stablecoins including DAI, USDC, USDT, and frxUSD.
