Privacy on Ethereum is already here. Aztec is the L2 that allows developers with no prior cryptography background to build smart contracts with private identity, data, and compute. Read how Aztec delivers granular programmable privacy to Ethereum:

Pressure-testing from the best in the field is how a privacy-first network stays resilient. Our bug bounty on @cantinaxyz is still open. Help us keep the network strong and secure, and claim your reward for what you find.

What does it look like when a privacy-first platform invites the world's best to try and break it? @aztecnetwork is putting that question to the test, with a new bug bounty program on Cantina. Here's what researchers should look at.

V5 = 10x UX. Faster client-side proving, faster tx inclusion, better dev tooling. More users + more apps = sharper signal on what to improve next. Onwards!

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:

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. Here's the recap 🧵

Builders continue to ship products on Aztec: The @nyxmoney team chose Aztec for our ground-up programmable privacy, @NoirLang, native account abstraction, and on-device zk proofs. What will you build on aztec?

On Ethereum, apps build on top of each other in the open. On Aztec, they can do it privately. Contracts call other contracts, and the call stack itself stays hidden. No one watching the chain learns which app touched which. @CiaraNightingal explains private composability 👇

Notice to Alpha V4 users: V5 is coming, which hardens the network's security and ramps up performance. However, once V5 is brought to governance, any vulnerabilities that could affect the V4 network will be publicly visible. As a precaution, users should remove funds currently

"A company wants a moat. A settlement layer wants surface area." In his newest piece, @Zac_Aztec explores why decentralization becomes more important, not less, when privacy enters the equation, and why programmable privacy must be built into the architecture itself rather than

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.

Very excited by the creation of @ethlabs_org. Ethereum as the settlement layer of the global economy is the right north star. Settlement needs credible neutrality, DeFi, ETH - and PRIVACY as a first-class primitive. That’s why we’re building Aztec.

Thrilled to support in my own small way the further decentralisation of Ethereum. The more organisations that are contributing meaningfully to the network the more resilient and robust it will become. The internet took the same path. This is a big step for Ethereum.
