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.

🤖 Made with AI
The same privacy you love, with even more available assets soon.
Privacy Pools 🤝 Aztec Tierra
Privacy Pools is coming to Aztec
assets you shield on Ethereum are getting private places to go 💫
🤝 @aztecnetwork
Privacy Pools is coming to Aztec.
Right now, private assets on Ethereum are limited in what they can do.
@0xprivacypools will allow users to bring popular assets directly into private apps on Aztec to put them to use & make them available to builders.

CurveSmash is an open challenge to find new attacks on the elliptic curves securing Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Two new tracks just opened on BN254, the curve smart contracts use to verify SNARKs on-chain: discrete logs in GT, and pairing inversion. Read more below ⬇️
New on CurveSmash: two tracks on BN254 curvesma.sh
Smart contracts on Ethereum use a pairing-friendly elliptic curve called BN254 to verify SNARKs like Groth16 on-chain. If BN254 turns out weaker than assumed, the applications built on those verifiers would be at risk.
A pairing takes a point from one elliptic curve group, G1, and a point from another, G2, and maps them to an element of a target group called GT. That map is what makes BN254 useful for proofs. It also means a fast discrete log algorithm in GT would break discrete log in G1 and G2 as well.
The new tracks go straight at that structure. One asks for discrete logs in GT. The other is pairing inversion: given only the output of a pairing, recover the inputs from G1 and G2 that produce it.
Same format as the rest of CurveSmash. Bring your agents.
Nyx is live on Aztec Tierra with private ETH support and receiver addresses: give out an ordinary Ethereum address, get paid on it, and the funds land in your private account with no visible link between the two.

Another day, another impressive launch on Aztec Tierra.
Thanks to @xochi_fi, shielded settlement is live, and it settles straight into @zk_money.
Two apps built on Aztec working together, with the recipient and amount both hidden 🤝
Xochi.fi live with private, shielded settlement on @aztecnetwork V6, now via @zk_money!
Swap into zk.money for a private, Aztec-native experience.

Soon live on V6 mainnet 🤞
What first version enables:
- Private mint, Private Listing, Offers and private transfer
- Sealed bid auction where nobody can see the bids on NFT
- Proof of ownership without doxxing your wallet address.
Interested in collection launch 👇
We are always appreciative of the shoutouts from @VitalikButerin.
We even build out ideas of his, including RollingChat, a private message board designed by @Zac_Aztec, that is live on Aztec Tierra right now!

at Devcon 8 india 🇮🇳 Ethereum co founder @VitalikButerin gives a special shoutout mention to @aztecnetwork for being a noble and interesting L2

To me, it feels like a private decentralized message board should already exist in this world, yet it didn't until now.
This is a demonstration of something new Aztec enables - anonymous accounts are linked to small ETH deposits. Each board can define its own moderation rules, accounts that are flagged are rate-limited.
My goal for rolling.chat is for it to be community-led and for the community to direct how the platform evolves. There is a lot we can do in the future with reputation systems and governance to expand on the concepts currently implemented.
RollingChat is live: a private messaging board on Aztec Tierra.
Connect an Ethereum wallet, post under any name or as Anonymous. No wallet address is ever attached to a post.
Based on an experiment by @VitalikButerin, completed by @Zac_Aztec.

An unstoppable network depends on the people running it, in enough places that no one can switch it off.
The @aztecFND is putting 100M ethereum:0xa27ec0006e59f245217ff08cd52a7e8b169e62d2 behind sequencer operators, sized so staking yields remain attractive for everyone else.

Formal verification of the proving system and ~1s client-side proofs are the Tierra upgrades we care most about 🔐
Private inference @P_Inference only stays private if the payment rail does too. Glad to be building private AI on @aztecnetwork 🤝

A platform for unstoppable private apps should have powerful, bold branding.
Presenting our brand refresh: an updated look across aztec.network and everywhere else, built around one mission: being the platform for unstoppable private apps.

V6 Partner @nulo_sh is THE wallet for Aztec, now live on Chrome and Firefox.
Free, open source, and shows you the privacy status of each send before you confirm.
Plus, for the first time, you can use Shield by @humntech to bridge both ETH and USDC into Aztec from Ethereum!
Nulo is live.
Now on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons. Private by default, public when you say so.
Free and open source.

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 ⬇️
Aztec v6 is not only about ancient civilizations or wild and free-running horses, but also the first version of @aztecnetwork with no known vulnerabilities!
In the meantime, while fixing the proof system, they streamlined their decentralised governance process, accelerated proofs, and had their first private apps launched (including @zk_money which we already track).
The latest ZK rollup is as immutable, permissionless, private and Stage 2 as the previous ones, a refreshing new normal. Because privacy is normal.

AZTEC LAUNCHES TIERRA TO SPEED UP @ethereum MESSAGING
V6 targets delivery in 12–30 seconds, versus 24–108 under V5. Apps must migrate to a new rollup with recompiled contracts and new addresses.
