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 🧵
Builders like the @nyxmoney team are bringing programmable privacy to the masses on @aztecnetwork via @NoirLang, native account abstraction, and on-device ZK proofs.
We at Aztec are honored to be the home of teams like Nyx and many more.

We believe in the original cypherpunk promise: that cryptography can give people online privacy and financial freedom that no government or corporation can take away.
Ethereum is only 0.1% private today. We're building Nyx because privacy is the part of the promise that needs the most work.
We looked at the available options to deliver on privacy. Here are the top 3 reasons we’re building Nyx on @aztecnetwork 🧵

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.

We are proud to have @nyxmoney making privacy accessible to the masses by incorporating private accounts into wallets you’re already using.
Privacy is built on @aztecnetwork.
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.

An update to the Aztec Connect incident from June 14 2026:
The Aztec Foundation was made aware of a potential exploit targeting Aztec Connect which occurred earlier today, June 14, 2026. There are no links between this product and any smart contracts related to the AZTEC ERC20 token, or current Aztec network.
Aztec Connect was deprecated 3 years ago and Aztec Labs retains no controls over the system.
Please follow @AztecLabs_ for updates and further information.

This week on Aztec: Noir goes cross-chain to Solana, operator survey results, new Wonderland collabs, and education to get you building in under a minute. Here's the recap.
Built on Aztec, privacy made simple.
Learn about Nyx private accounts. Powered by @aztecnetwork.
DM for an invite code.
Private payments are for everyone, but your balance should only be for you. @nyxmoney solves this.
Send USDC on Ethereum privately. Only you can see your balance and history on Nyx.
Last month we asked sequencer operators what they need. Today the results are in, and we're committing to act on them.
With 3,447 sequencers currently running on Aztec, and 688.5M $AZTEC staked, the network is open and we'd love to hear from even more participants next time!

Last month we posted a large survey asking everyone that is running (or is interested in running) an @aztecnetwork sequencer about their experiences so far.
Today we're posting the results of the survey, and are committing to improve the experience.

This week on Aztec: a deep dive on who really controls your privacy, a quarterly report from Nethermind, new developer education on selective disclosure, and a primer on how Aztec's state model works. Here's the recap 🧵
Show more
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:

GPU proving. Multi-asset fee payments. A wallet. Developer tooling. 34 audit findings closed.
Our partners @Nethermind released their Q1 report last week, covering six active workstreams across protocol, research, and tooling.
