Attested Frontiers

Refurbishing first-party attested data for your every day needs.

New Blog post: Smart Contracts at Sea ⚓️

Traditional Letters of Credit cost 2% in fees. Smart contract escrows cost 90% less, and earn DeFi yield while locked.

Traditional finance isn't being replaced - it's being programmed.

New post on how programmable cryptography is quietly automating the $7 trillion cost of global financial intermediation from within existing systems ->

We'll be at @zeroknowledgefm's zkSummit 13 presenting https://t.co/7f3RHEPgQJ, the primitive behind Bank Originated Ledger Transactions (BOLT).

Catch the session to learn about how to leverage first-party bank signatures to enable trustless bank <> smart contract interactions!

[Zero Knowledge Podcast @zeroknowledgefm]

At the upcoming zkSummit, @m38mah presents a library that bridges traditional banking and ZK. Through his talk, you'll learn about how bank signatures can unlock onchain escrows and RWA assets, with a live demo on Revolut using Aztec testnet.

@0xrafi Soon we're not even using cryptocurrency to make trustless/ noncustodial payments on chain

@savio_sou @zkp2p BOLT will likely also be integrated as a @zkp2p connector on Base once PSD licensing is secured!

Without privacy, everything from personal file storage to banking to medical records can't be stored online.

TLS pushed the envelope in 1999, and today the design space grows ever larger with ZK.

We're at the frontier of attested data today...

[Attested Frontiers @AttestedFront]

We're soon deploying our sandbox escrow at https://t.co/tKdOukgR1F, where you can swap crypto <-> fiat through a private, non-custodial escrow powered by the new Aztec Testnet.

There's much to build on top of all sorts of attestations - follow along as we explore this frontier!

[Attested Frontiers @AttestedFront]

Our first effort is Bank Originated Ledger Transactions (BOLT) - using OpenBanking API's, we can create proofs of bank-to-bank transfers.

Signatures from OpenBanking carry legal guarantees of receipt, making them much stronger than email or TLS based solutions.

[Attested Frontiers @AttestedFront]

Commerce is built on confidentiality - when TLS was released, internet banking suddenly became a reasonably safe prospect!

We've recreated much of centralized compute onchain, but transacting confidentially has lagged behind...

[Attested Frontiers @AttestedFront]

You wanted number go up, you got memecoins and yield ponzis.

You wanted institutional adoption, you got custodied t-bills.

Today is different - you wanted privacy, you got privacy. Today, Aztec debuts general-purpose compute with general purpose privacy.

Why is this important?

Aztec’s Public Testnet is live.

The privacy revolution is finally here.
