New video from @zac_aztec just dropped:
Take 90 seconds to watch clearest explanation yet of what makes Aztec different: not just composable smart contracts, but composable and private ones. All live on Alpha V5 today.
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.

Thank you to @TheBlockCo for covering Alpha V5, featuring cryptographic optimizations that bring client-side proving down to ~2.5 seconds on a consumer laptop.
"The fastest system in the world for proving a fully private transaction entirely on a user's own device."
Aztec Alpha V5 just launched and projects are already lining up to go live!
We have private transactions on @ethereum + private lending on @aave thanks to @nyxmoney, but that’s just the beginning!
Stay tuned for more launch partners + comment who you want to see on V5 👀
Aztec Alpha V5 is live.

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 👇
Alpha V5 is live.
A fully private transaction now proves in ~2.5 seconds on a laptop. Nearly 2.5x faster.
Blocks are now every 6s down from 72.
No operator, no server, no one seeing your data.
Not bad for 4 months work.
