Casa, a leading private key manager, has announced new functionality to ensure increased Ethereum privacy by enabling users to pay gas and complete transfers using their Ether wallets as a relay.

Casa’s main objective is to allow individuals to easily manage, hold, and secure their private key, alleviating technical challenges and abstracting worries of mistakenly losing access to funds.

Casa offers self-custody services for users to manage their private keys, control assets, and withdraw cryptocurrencies from exchanges (safely). Meanwhile, the platform has launched a new feature for its recently rolled-out Ethereum vaults.

The new mechanism will allow participants to transact through a relay, maximizing network privacy. Casa added to its Bitcoin custody services by introducing a multi-sig Ether self-custody vault in June for users to secure their ETH holdings.

Strengthening privacy for Ethereum users

Targeting heightened Ether transaction privacy, Casa has launched a functionality that enables individuals to use Ether wallets as a relay when creating and transacting from vaults.

The private key manager helps users interact with the Ether blockchain and Ethereum vaults via its built-in Casa Relay. Individuals can use this bridge to complete specific undertakings, including contract deployment and completing transactions at lower fees.

Meanwhile, the catch is users can utilize Casa’s scanning tools to (publicly) view Ether addresses linked with the platform. As a solution, Casa will use a new single-signature Ether pay wallet as a relay when transacting from vaults.

The new feature includes more steps than the Casa Relay. While it helps users to reduce gas charges using Pay Wallet, it ensures amplified privacy for individuals who prefer not to link their on-chain Ether addresses to Casa.
