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.

Introducing Aztec Tierra (Alpha V6).
The platform for unstoppable private apps is here.
Ethereum's only decentralized L2, with fully programmable privacy: permissionless, private smart contracts.
No backdoors. No gatekeepers.

Thanks to @ChangeNOW, getting ethereum:0xa27ec0006e59f245217ff08cd52a7e8b169e62d2 is even simpler!
Ethereum, but your business stays yours 🕶️
$AZTEC powers @aztecnetwork, a privacy-first Ethereum L2 where apps can mix public and private data, transactions, and smart contracts.
Privacy as infrastructure, not an add-on.

Quantum computers don't need to exist yet to threaten your privacy.
Attackers can harvest encrypted data today and decrypt it later.
Aztec was designed so apps can already protect against that.
Here's our roadmap to make the entire network post-quantum: aztec.network/blog/post-quan…

Liquid staking of the ethereum:0xa27ec0006e59f245217ff08cd52a7e8b169e62d2 token is now live.
Until now, staking ethereum:0xa27ec0006e59f245217ff08cd52a7e8b169e62d2 directly required at least 200,000 tokens.
@Olla_Finance pools deposits so there’s no minimum at all. Any amount of tokens can be staked today (currently 20% APY).
Welcome new stakers!

The Alpha V6 code is ready.
V6 is a new version of Aztec focused on security, stability, speed.
It can now enter the governance process to head to mainnet.
Read the proposal below and follow along as the community brings it to life.

AI conversations hold some of the most sensitive data we create.
Private Inference tackles all three privacy layers: payment, identity, and words, with private payments live on Aztec today and private sessions coming with Alpha V6.
We're excited to announce @P_Inference as a V6 launch partner.

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.

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.
Here's the recap 🧵
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.
