Aztec

Aztec is the leading privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum.
Alpha Network is live · Start building here:

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

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: https://t.co/Q2hvvIMeKg

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@saint_rat Appreciate you saying this. We'll continue working hard to do things the right way and ensuring users have full programmable privacy built from the ground up.

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@GrabowskiDylan @P_Inference Can't wait to see it!

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

Many people’s most honest conversations this year were with chatbots owned by companies that have their billing address.

@P_Inference keeps the them separate: wallet payment, no account, and prompts encrypted the prompt before they're sent. V6 launch partner, now in open beta.

[Private Inference @P_Inference]

🔓 Private Inference is now in Open Beta

No more whitelists - login now at https://t.co/HZDe589LmL

🧠 Frontier and open models side by side, in one chat and one OpenAI-compatible API. Fund a session once from your wallet. Each request is held at its maximum cost, and you pay only for what you actually use.

💸 Pay your way:
· USDC on Base
· cUSDC on Aztec, privately
· ZEC from any wallet
No model accounts, no cards, no monthly plans.

🔐 You decide how private each request is:
· Zero data retention, the default
· Standard routes, usually cheaper
· Private execution (beta): your browser encrypts the prompt to a model in an attested TEE and checks the attestation itself

🤝 Bring your friends. Your referral code sits at the top of every page, and friends you bring in earn you balance credit.

$AZTEC holders have voted. Aztec Alpha V6 has passed the governance vote.

The network’s next version was approved by the people running it.

The network now enters an execution delay. Stay tuned for the official launch date.

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@GrabowskiDylan Great information here, Dylan! Thanks for putting it all together in one place!

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@eigenlabs @yukonresearch Open from day one, so anyone can run it, check it, and push it further. Come smash some curves with us!

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@DavidSteinrueck @yukonresearch @eigenlabs 👏👏

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@Zac_Aztec @yukonresearch 👏👏

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

CurveSmash is live on @YukonResearch, in partnership with @eigenlabs.

An open challenge to find new attacks on the elliptic curves securing Bitcoin and Ethereum, designed by @Zac_Aztec.

Open to anyone. https://t.co/5TBpjr6vNo

@zkphub @Zac_Aztec @jaosef @Arnaudschenk Poker faces are hard to read when you can't even see them 👀

If you're still concerned about the Post-Quantum world, then this is the talk for you.

Join @Zac_Aztec at the Cypherpunk Congress in Mumbai on November 2nd!

More information below 👇

[Web3Privacy Now @web3privacy]

Post-Quantum cryptography is challenged by rapid AI developments.

@matthew_d_green claims "there is a 1% chance we live in Minicrypt, and a 15% chance we functionally lose confidence in our existing public-key encryption algorithms."

@drakefjustin invites people to the bunker mode.

@Zac_Aztec "without post-quantum public-key cryptography, we are all a little bit *screwed*".

Take a deep breath. Calm down. Let experienced cryptographers do the talking.

Welcome, @Zac_Aztec x @aztec & @jbaylina x @ziskvm - encryption heavyweights who will do a fireside on the state of cryptography, AI threats, PQC and more.

At Cypherpunk Congress in Mumbai: https://t.co/CCUMdLl5Zp

Adding more since V4, @nyxmoney is bringing Ethereum receiver addresses that forward straight into your private account, plus private ETH, with V6.

Nyx continues to be an official Aztec Network partner, and will ship additional updates with Alpha V6. Stay tuned!

[nyx. @nyxmoney]

Nyx V6 is coming soon! New things coming with it:
1. Ethereum receiver addresses so you can receive payments on Ethereum that automatically forward to your private account
2. Private ETH support
3. Redesigned UI

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

@StakerSpace Love to see it 💚

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

Your intent is your strategy. Broadcast it and anyone can trade ahead of you.

@xochi_fi routes intents through competing solvers so nothing hits the mempool. With V6, settlement on Aztec is shielded too.

Place a trade yourself and watch what never shows up onchain.

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

Every trade you place in public is information someone else can act on.

https://t.co/luvuLlBXhz routes around that: sign a gasless intent, solvers compete to fill it, and nothing hits the mempool.

Excited to announce @xochi_fi as an official V6 launch partner.

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

Thanks to @ChangeNOW, getting ethereum:0xa27ec0006e59f245217ff08cd52a7e8b169e62d2 is even simpler!

[ChangeNOW @ChangeNOW]

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.
