Privacy is the stack. Noir is the language. This is where we build.

Private

Many transactions depend on data that should not be public. Aztec lets encrypted data become a precondition for settling value onchain. That creates a permissionless backend for applications that still depend on financial or web2 intermediaries.

Privacy isn't just for bringing finance onchain. Something is coming to Alpha V5, where keeping information hidden is the whole game 🪐

Interested in a more in-depth of privacy? This is the space for you! @jaosef from @AztecLabs_ will be joining other privacy builders to discuss the future of onchain privacy now!
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.🚨 DON'T MISS IT!

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/

ALPHA V5 IS LIVE! Who is excited to see what apps continue to roll out on mainnet? 🪿
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 👇

V5 is going to be live soon, which means meaningfully faster client-side proving of the Aztec runtime. We are already very close to Ethereum-like transaction latencies with all client-side proving.
The code for Alpha V5 is ready. V5 will ship with significant security updates, speed improvements, and new features to simplify the privacy UX. Next steps to bring V5 live: 1. Code payload is deployed 2. Sequencers bring to vote 3. $AZTEC holder vote Read: forum.aztec.network/t/azup-2…

Building on Aztec, running a node, or just interested in learning more about how V5 will work it's way through governance? Here's the canonical spec for how AZUPs are proposed, signaled, and voted onchain, from AZIP packaging to execution: github.com/AztecProtocol/gov…

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 🧵

STAGE 2: CONFIRMED! 🪿
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.
