Privacy is the stack. Noir is the language. This is where we build.
Aztec just hit Stage 2 on @l2beat. Onchain governance revoked ownership of the rollup contract. The code is immutable, no admin can override the protocol, and users can always exit via the escape hatch. Aztec is the only decentralized L2 with privacy native to the protocol.
What is Aztec? A privacy-first L2 on Ethereum. A ZK rollup where you transact privately while staying decentralized, with smart contracts using both public and private state in a single app. Take 90 seconds and learn more about programmable privacy on the blockchain today👇

Building on Aztec is easier than you think! @CiaraNightingal shows you how to deploy a smart contract from scratch in under 60 seconds: install, create, compile, deploy. If you've been interested in building on Aztec but haven't started yet, this is your sign 👇
Privacy Sessions are back this Thursday at 6PM UTC! @CiaraNightingal and @jp4g_ break down how Aztec, Canton, Starknet, Tempo, and zkSync actually handle selective disclosure. Every privacy network claims it, but who really holds the keys? RSVP: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Every privacy network claims selective disclosure. What they don’t say is who holds the keys. Canton, Tempo, zkSync, and Starknet all put that control with an operator, a node, or a standing key. On Aztec, control stays with you. Full breakdown here: aztec.network/blog/who-contr…
Aztec Alpha went live last quarter. The first privacy ZK rollup with full private smart contract execution on Ethereum mainnet. We shipped a multi-asset fee payment contract (FPC) to testnet. FPCs are native to @aztecnetwork. What was missing was a version that supports non-native assets. With ours, users bridge USDC and pay fees in it directly, with no separate fee token to acquire first. One less wall between a new user and their first transaction. Our Aztec Governance Dashboard went live. Our AztecNodes explorer added mainnet support. Plus developer tools: a faucet, a linter, an installable set of agent skills. And underneath, the protocol kept getting harder to break. 34 audit findings closed. Incident response through three post-launch events. Privacy on Ethereum was a research direction for a decade. Last quarter, it became a working stack.
