1/ Introducing the Aztec Foundation.
Today we introduce the Aztec Foundation, a nonprofit organization to support the growth and development of open-source programmable privacy.
This marks a significant milestone for the @aztecnetwork, bringing us closer to the launch of a fully decentralized, privacy-preserving network.

Alpha V5 turned one month old last week and the apps on it are starting to report return usage rather than just launch-day numbers. Plus, our community continues to build on V5!
Here's the recap 🧵

Dark Forest Aztec is live!
A fully onchain strategy game by @dfarchon built on hidden information: explore a universe, claim planets, and move on other players without the chain revealing information.

Zcash and Monero face delisting. Roman Storm's retrial looms. Yet banks keep funding privacy rails to go onchain.
So who gets privacy? Joe Andrews (@AztecLabs_ ), Jarrad Hope (@jarradhope_ ) (@Logos_network ) and Mert Mumtaz (@mert ) (@Helius ) debate live .
🚨Today at 1pm ET here on Unchained.🚨

Aztec Alpha V5 is live, and so is Shield (by @humntech): a proof-of-humanity bridge for moving assets between Ethereum and Aztec.
Shield lets users bridge assets while proving the sender is legitimate and the funds are compliant, all without revealing their identities.
Bridge USDC to Aztec now at shield.human.tech/

Aztec Alpha V5 is live.
The fastest private transactions we've ever shipped, now on mainnet. Read more on aztec.network/alpha-v5.
Apps roll out over the coming week, starting with @nyxmoney.
Nyx is invite-only, but for the next 24 hours it's open to everyone. Code below 👇

This week on Aztec: Stage 2 on @l2beat, a walkthrough of private composability, and a new essay from @Zac_Aztec on why privacy needs decentralization.

Builders like the @nyxmoney team are bringing programmable privacy to the masses on @aztecnetwork via @NoirLang, native account abstraction, and on-device ZK proofs.
We at Aztec are honored to be the home of teams like Nyx and many more.
We believe in the original cypherpunk promise: that cryptography can give people online privacy and financial freedom that no government or corporation can take away.
Ethereum is only 0.1% private today. We're building Nyx because privacy is the part of the promise that needs the most work.
We looked at the available options to deliver on privacy. Here are the top 3 reasons we’re building Nyx on @aztecnetwork 🧵

Aztec just hit Stage 2 on @l2beat.
Onchain governance revoked ownership of the rollup contract.
The code is immutable, no admin can override the protocol, and users can always exit via the escape hatch.
Aztec is the only decentralized L2 with privacy native to the protocol.

We are proud to have @nyxmoney making privacy accessible to the masses by incorporating private accounts into wallets you’re already using.
Privacy is built on @aztecnetwork.

The Aztec Foundation was made aware of a potential exploit targeting a deprecated product which occurred on June 17, 2026. There are no links between this product and any smart contracts related to the current network or the AZTEC ERC20 token.
The product was deprecated 4 years ago and Aztec Labs retains no controls over the system.
Please follow @AztecLabs_ for updates and further information.
We are investigating a potential exploit affecting a deprecated Aztec payments product from 2021. ~$2m was transferred from the immutable smart contract in transaction:
etherscan.io/tx/0xab306cd218…
The deprecated product is an immutable stage 2 rollup that was sunset in 2022.
Aztec Labs holds no admin keys or control over the system; it cannot be paused or upgraded by us.
This is a separate incident from the exploit on the depreciated Aztec Connect product that occurred on June 14, 2026.
We will share further updates in due course.

What is Aztec?
A privacy-first L2 on Ethereum. A ZK rollup where you transact privately while staying decentralized, with smart contracts using both public and private state in a single app.
