ZODL Adds IP Privacy Layer to Wallet Requests

ZODL is rolling out new wallet infrastructure designed to prevent IP addresses from being linked to wallet requests. The system uses Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP) with independent relays operated by Cloudflare and Fastly.

Under this model, the relay can see the user's IP address but not the encrypted wallet request itself, while ZODL can process the wallet request but does not see the originating IP. This separation means neither party has the complete information needed to directly connect wallet activity to an internet connection.

The rollout begins with ZODL version 3.20.0 on Android and iOS, with F-Droid and GitHub versions to follow. No special setup is required beyond keeping ZODL updated.
