Key Takeaways:
AnomaPay expanded to Arbitrum on June 8, enabling private transfers of USDC, ETH and USDT0 using zero-knowledge proofs at reduced gas costs compared with Ethereum mainnet.
"Privacy on Ethereum has been too expensive for everyday use, and Arbitrum changes that equation," Adrian Brink, chief executive officer of Anoma, said in a statement. "Users should not have to expose their entire financial history just to send a payment."
The application, built on the Anoma Distributed Operating System, uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify each transfer without revealing balances, counterparties or transaction history to third parties. Public wallet isolation begins at the initial deposit, severing the link between the visible onchain address and activity within the application. Payments can be managed through reusable links that work via Telegram, email or any messaging platform, eliminating the need to share hexadecimal addresses. Fees are deducted directly from the asset being sent and displayed before confirming the operation.
The expansion addresses a structural limitation in the Ethereum ecosystem: mainnet fees make everyday low-value payments impractical. Arbitrum processes transactions faster and at lower cost while settling on Ethereum to maintain its security model. Users can sign up with an existing wallet or a passkey, with no additional software or browser extensions required. Active users will see Arbitrum as an option within the current deposit and transfer flows starting today.
The move positions AnomaPay to capture demand for private onchain transactions, a segment that has remained underserved as most DeFi activity occurs on public ledgers. Arbitrum's lower fee structure could make the service viable for frequent, small-value payments that were economically unfeasible on Ethereum mainnet. The launch follows AnomaPay's V1 public release on Ethereum and marks the first L2 expansion for the privacy payments application.
