Aztec (AZTEC) News

Coverage thread of the Aztec Tierra launch, starting with @l2beat. L2BEAT continues to certify Aztec Tierra as a Stage 2 rollup, meaning it's immutable, permissionless, and private! More coverage below ⬇️

In practice, programmable privacy means a bank could build viewing keys into its own app for compliance purposes, while the network underneath the app holds none. That split is how Aztec Tierra works, and @Zac_Aztec explains on @Bankless why institutions need it. Full podcast

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. https://t.co/J1KZd6XT15 https://t.co/ET4k6oXtPI

Tomorrow.

Will quantum computers break encryption? Is the panic justified, or is it all hype? @Zac_Aztec x @aztecnetwork & @jbaylina x @ziskvm separate fact from fiction in post-quantum cryptography. Live at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3 in Mumbai. https://t.co/55dD2X2j3b

If you're headed to @EFDevcon this week, mark these events down! Our co-founder @Zac_Aztec is speaking at multiple events across a variety of privacy-oriented topics. 🧵👇 First, catch Zac @IBWofficial mainstage on November 2, discussing onchain finance! https://t.co/HZgKDSRLUj

Share an address once, and anyone can watch what it does afterward. @nyxmoney receivers let you hand out a different Ethereum address each time, with no visible link between any of them and your private account. Launching soon on Aztec Alpha V6.

Private apps need a stable foundation. Noir 1.0 is that foundation: the language behind Aztec’s private smart contracts and protocol circuits, now audited, fuzzed, and production-ready. Next up: Aztec Alpha V6.

"Privacy" is a crowded word now. Zac co-wrote PLONK in 2019, before many of the projects using that word today existed. Aztec has been building the same thing ever since: programmable privacy made accessible for everyone.
