Nocturne - the privacy account protocol mainnet of Buterin Investment is online. Learn a few key points in the shortest time: (1-5)

1. Nocturne is a privacy account abstraction protocol.

2. Essentially it is a traditional Ethereum account, but with built-in asset privacy features.

3. Nocturne allows users to deposit or receive funds to private and hidden addresses in the Nocturne contract. Then, in the future, users can prove asset ownership with zero knowledge for arbitrary transactions or confidential transfers.

4. In order to minimize the inflow of illegal funds, initial deposits into Nocturne will first enter a contract called Deposit Manager. An off-chain participant called a "screener" will sign after determining that the deposit meets a certain compliance risk threshold. Verify and complete the deposit.

5. The preservation and execution of assets are separated. The deposited assets are held by the Teller contract, and the Handler contract will only request those assets that have been authorized to be operated, and then execute the contract call. Once the contract call is completed, the Handler will send any remaining or new funds back to the Teller.
