zBase is a zero-knowledge privacy facilitator for AI agent payments (x402 protocol), forked from Vitalik Buterin's Privacy Pools concept.

Deployed on Base Sepolia testnet with 105 commitments and Solana support planned.

Base Batches 003 finalist with working Groth16 on-chain verification, targeting compliant privacy for the emerging agent economy.

No token yet, pre-mainnet but active development.

Green flags: Base Batches 003 finalist with credible technical lineage (Privacy Pools fork) · Working testnet on Base Sepolia with real activity (105 commitments) · Small following (857) but substantive product for emerging x402 agent payment standard · Open source with active GitHub (30+ issues closed recently) · Clear technical differentiation: Groth16 ZK proofs, ASP-compliant screening for agent payments

Red flags: Very new account (May 2026, ~3 weeks old) with limited track record · Founder appears to be building solo or very small team (janitor role mention) · Pre-mainnet stage, waitlist-only access limits real-world validation
