Privacy on blockchains has always been an afterthought, often patched in on top of transparent infrastructure. Alpha is fundamentally different. Private data, identity, and compute are foundational primitives. You decide what's public, and everything else stays private.

Aztec6 months ago

The network runs on 3,900+ sequencers and provers across our global community, not operated by Aztec Labs or the Foundation. Now it’s open to builders across the world. Please join the Aztec team for our Alpha Launch Q&A live from ETHCC in Cannes.

Congrats to Aztec on the Alpha launch! Aztec is unlocking programmable privacy on Ethereum. Primus and @hashcloak adds a layer for verifiable real-world data via zkTLS, enabling applications to go beyond on-chain data. 👉

.mert on Zcash's privacy stack: "It's fully vertically integrated, network level, miner level, metadata level. Privacy is the absence of leaks, and unless you build the pipes to stop them from the start, they'll show up." Zcash is irreplaceable.

Ryan Watkins (Ryan Watkins) says zcash:native the asset is a meme, and that privacy is a feature that can live on any chain: "For me, privacy is a feature. The technical stack Zcash built can be implemented on any blockchain. And the actual asset, ZEC, I think, is a meme." "You can say the same about Bitcoin, that it's a meme." "The difference is Bitcoin is the first and has all the liquidity. The reason we'd need another Bitcoin just doesn't make sense to me." "It's become an institutional meme." "I don't think many holders really care about the original cypherpunk values, or use it as private Bitcoin."
