Odaily News Nocturne, a privacy protocol in which Vitalik participated, posted on the X platform: "After stopping the privacy protocol established earlier last year, we decided to gradually shut down the company. The front-end app.nocturne.xyz will remain open for withdrawal services until the end of this month. From then on, we will convert the withdrawal process to self-service through this GitHub repository and provide detailed instructions on how to withdraw funds using CLI tools." Earlier in October 2023, Nocturne Labs announced the completion of a $6 million seed round of financing, led by Bain Capital Crypto and Polychain Capital, with participation from Vitalik Buterin, Bankless Ventures, Hack VC, Robot Ventures and others.
