Aztec Labs has acquired Obsidion, the team behind @ZKPassport.
The Obsidion team will continue to develop ZKPassport while also leading new consumer product developments.
The ZKPassport protocol will remain open source.
The $AZTEC token sale was conducted entirely onchain to ensure that you have control over your tokens from day one.
The TGE proposal submitted by @BlackNodesHQ is now live and sequencers have started signaling to bring the proposal to a vote. https://t.co/of4BzHotir
“ZKPassport is as cypherpunk as it could possibly be.”
Listen to @RyanSAdams and @TrustlessState talk about ZKPassport and how it was used by @AztecNetwork to provide private identity verification for their @Uniswap CCA token sale.
Aztec 🤝 Uniswap 🤝 ZKPassport

do you know what surprised me most about the @aztecnetwork token sale?
the amount of pre-commits from Aztec Connect users
shutting down AC weighs heavily on my soul
but...after all these years, they still showed up
thank you❤️
I have known the @aztecnetwork team since the early days, and have huge respect for their work, vision, the team, and the protocol they are building. I'm delighted to see @Nethermind as a long-term core R&D partner, helping to advance the protocol and grow the ecosystem.
the Aztec sale might be the most important crypto success story in a *long* time
- fully onchain
- transparent
- open to anyone
no back door arrangements, just pure market-driven price discovery
there's currently $57m~ in bids across 15,734 unique wallets, with 23 hours left (bidders were also able to use zkpassport instead of kyc)
once the sale ends, a uni v4 pool will be created at the final price and later enabled at tge
that pool will already have $>21m of TVL, making it the third largest V4 pool that exists
tldr, just use cca
Final call! Over the next 24 hours, all the remaining tokens in the AZTEC sale will be sold.
50% of tokens have already cleared.
Tokens are clearing in real time.

🧵 Aztec entered the Ignition era. Nethermind is joining as a core contributor to the Aztec ecosystem, focused on blockchain engineering and research for the @aztecnetwork.
ethereum has fair token launchpads
impressed by @uniswap’s cca, it removes bots, clusters and whales from sniping up token supply (what happened with most big launches this cycle)
it reminds me of mining; streamed allocations.
gg @aztecnetwork for being a first mover.
Crypto has memes, markets, and mania, but almost no memory.
So I wrote our missing memory.
This is The Blockchain Canon: the ideas that built us, the myths that divide us, and the primitives that, one day, may reunite us.
Remember where we came from.
Aztec is doing a public ICO in ETH
A glorious full-circle back to 2018, but this time with brains
Props to the @aztecnetwork team for baking in investor rights and protections in the token contract from day 1
Insane it took us until 2025 to do this
The ICO meta will be one of the greatest things to happen to crypto
$AZTEC is a privacy-focused Ethereum L2 backed by Vitalik himself.
In this article, we break down what @aztecnetwork is, what it aims to achieve, and how you can take part in its pre-sale that just went live.

wow
bidding the aztec sale was incredibly smooth
plus, anyone who doesn't want to kyc can just use zkpassport (info never leaves your phone)
this is what the future of token distribution looks like, powered by cca
