The code for Alpha V5 is ready. V5 will ship with significant security updates, speed improvements, and new features to simplify the privacy UX. Next steps to bring V5 live: 1. Code payload is deployed 2. Sequencers bring to vote 3. $AZTEC holder vote Read: forum.aztec.network/t/azup-2-is-re…

Summarized in 10 min all the privacy thesis I started posting 4 years ago and started playing out last year. Cheap edition skills but made with love. Roast me in the comments so I can improve 🙏 (recommended to watch in 1.5x)

This week on Aztec: Stage 2 on @l2beat, a walkthrough of private composability, and a new essay from @Zac_Aztec on why privacy needs decentralization. Here's the recap 🧵



Aztec just became a Stage 2 rollup. In a crypto famine, it is tempting to sell the land: decentralization, neutrality, censorship resistance. But privacy is exactly where we cannot afford to do that.

On Ethereum, apps build on top of each other in the open. On Aztec, they can do it privately. Contracts call other contracts, and the call stack itself stays hidden. No one watching the chain learns which app touched which. @CiaraNightingal explains private composability 👇
