$AZTEC is now live. This time next year, every smart contract will be private. Aztec was built for this moment. aztec.network/token

First successful bridge from Base Sepolia to @aztecnetwork Devnet is LIVE, powered by @Substance_Labs ⚡️ I’d drop the tx hash, but you wouldn't be able to see much because privacy actually works 👀

🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀💜🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥

@aztecnetwork is more than just a technology company- it is also the creator of the future era of blockchain privacy What's their secret? The founders not only participated but also helped launch the ZK movement. CEO @Zac_Aztec earned a PhD in particle physics from Oxford transitioned from the CERN lab to blockchain privacy innovator, and co-founded PLONK, which implements zero-knowledge proofs for real-world use. He is joined by @rel_zeta_tech who has over 14 years of experience in ZK cryptography, is a co-author of PLONK and will return as Chief Scientist in 2024 leading the way as Aztec launches its privacy layer This is not advisory theater. @aztecnetwork ’s 60+ member team includes a PhD cryptographer from Weizmann, a veteran member of Zcash R&D, a researcher from the Ethereum Foundation a contract specialist from Balancer/Aave, and a security engineer from OpenZeppelin. all of whom have real world experience building privacy and blockchain infrastructure. @aztecnetwork raised $17 million in Series A @paradigm in 2021 and $100 million in Series B- @a16z in 2022. a successful investment in a bear market, not just on hype. Tier-1 Aztec is trusted by VCs like the ones behind @ethereum who deliver real results, not just words Real research foundation PLONK innovation, role in ZK usage in Zcash. Deep roots in privacy and strategic moves: partnerships with @wormhole @Substance_Labs Train Protocol, collaboration with Ethereum Foundation, and real developer grants targeting cross chain and DeFi privacy scaling instead of isolated testing. Where others only promise @aztecnetwork delivers real results. They completed their trusted setup in 2024, are on track to launch the mainnet in 2025, and have already funded cross chain dApps to build the ecosystem from the ground up. There are risksregulatory, competitive, and acceptance but if anyone can handle them, it’s the engineers who have effectively shipped products on $Ethereum, $Zcash, and other projects. @aztecnetwork is not hype. it is credibility built on innovation performance and the team's history. If you are interested in the future of true programmable privacy and on chain privacy technology for $Ethereum, this is the project to follow. gAztec 🔥 @realRoberto38

🎉 Congrats @aztecnetwork on launching the new brand! From 🧠 PlonK to 🔗 Portals, Aztec has redefined what’s possible with privacy. We’re honored to help build the bridges that carry this vision across chains. Let’s build the next era, together. 🚀

Reimagining how opinion data is collected, verified, and shared, privately and without trust. Catch the demo of Revelio, a privacy-preserving polling platform built by NoirHack winner @ThomasBertani of @Substance_Labs. June 19: lu.ma/NoirCon2?tk=Tr…

8/8 Aztec is private by default. Let’s make it interoperable by design. Build on the Aztec↔Base bridge. Make privacy portable. Ship the future. 🌐 github.com/substance-labs… 📩 DMs are open!

7/8 Want help? We’re Substance Labs. We build cross-chain infra & security tech, including Hashi. We’re here to support anyone who wants to build on our bridge. Ping us or drop into our GitHub. We’ll help you get started ⚡

🧵 1/8 We’re building the infrastructure for compliant, private cross-chain DeFi 🔐⚡ Our Aztec↔Base bridge is on testnet, enabling apps with privacy-preserving deposits, zk credentials & more. YOU can build on it - and get funded by @aztecnetwork 👇 forum.aztec.network/t/ignite-the-n…

🚀 Congrats to @aztecnetwork on this — a huge milestone for private, programmable blockchains! We're excited to be building the first private cross-chain intent bridge between Aztec and Optimism, unlocking seamless, confidential interoperability.

@Kin_gston013 Just noticed the dms were not open, sorry, they're now :)

@Substance_Labs I would love let's talk privately.
