aztec runs two kinds of state, public for what needs auditing like supply and fees, encrypted for what doesn't, like identity and positions.
transparency for the protocol, privacy for the user

🔥 Robinhood Chain Is Now Ethereum’s Biggest L2 Contributor
.@RobinhoodCrypto is currently paying more fees to Ethereum than any other L2, highlighting how quickly the new chain is becoming economically significant for Ethereum
Top L2s by fees paid to Ethereum last 7D:
1⃣ Robinhood Chain: $8.6K
2⃣ Aztec: $6.4K
3⃣ Base: $1.1K
4⃣ World Chain: $653
5⃣ Taiko: $567
6⃣ X Layer: $459
7⃣ Lighter: $368
8⃣ OP: $357
9⃣ Unichain: $329
10 Polygon: $251
Robinhood Chain’s contribution is nearly 8x higher than Base, one of Ethereum’s largest L2s
This is an interesting shift. Robinhood isn’t just competing for users and revenue among L2s. Its growing activity is also translating into more fees flowing back to Ethereum
If this trend continues, Robinhood Chain could become one of the most important new contributors to Ethereum’s economic activity

🤖Your agent's transaction history is your business strategy, published in real time. Your commerce patterns for the entire internet to see. Portfolio allocations readily available for others to copy and exploit... etc. etc. You got the point.
🔐Every API it pays for, every price it accepts, every counterparty, goods or service it chooses is visible to anyone watching the chain. For autonomous agents doing real work, transparency is more of a bug rather than a feature, so...
⏳In two weeks: Private x402. Settlement nobody else can see. Compliance intact.

New Founder video just dropped!
@Zac_Aztec shares his thoughts on how to get out of the current crypto season using encrypted ultrasound money and privacy.
DeFi didn't eat TradFi. TradFi ate DeFi: compliance, surveillance, and silos rebuilt on chain.
Blockchain is becoming a settlements layer with Visa's drawbacks and none of the composability.
The way out of crypto winter is encrypted money.

Aztec Network has a LOT coming over the coming months, what are you most excited for? 🪿
