A16z and Paradigm jointly lead the investment, and the top privacy king project @ aztecnetwork, which has accumulated over $100 million in financing, is going to expand its recruitment? Aztec will complete a full chain public sale by the end of 2025, with over 50% of the funding coming from community members. This is not a coincidence, it is the result of the community's deep cultivation in the past few years. The combination of on chain execution and community funding leadership is not something that everyone can achieve. According to recent community voting results, Aztec's TGE has entered the countdown phase. Advancing the project through governance processes demonstrates the team's emphasis on community opinions. Let me briefly talk to you about why I think it deserves special attention Aztec is one of the few layers in the Ethereum ecosystem that makes "privacy" the core from the bottom up. Not patching existing public chains, but writing privacy capabilities into the protocol from the beginning, with a clear goal: to make smart contracts default to protecting user privacy. The background of this team is also very impressive. Many underlying tools used in zk projects nowadays, such as PLONK proof system and Noir zero knowledge programming language, are mostly related to the Aztec team. It can be said that many infrastructures in the field of privacy computing were built by them first. Let's talk more about practical implementation. Aztec is not just in the "conceptual stage", it has been carefully tested and adopted by traditional financial institutions, indicating that its technology can be applied to real scenarios, not just writing white papers. Now Ignition Chain has also started running on the Ethereum mainnet, and it is a truly decentralized L2. What I personally think highly of is that privacy is shifting from a "bonus point" to a basic configuration of blockchain. Aztec has already laid out the infrastructure in advance, and there will be real applications launched one after another, rather than just storytelling. If you are also concerned about privacy, public chain infrastructure, or the next stage of on chain application forms, the Aztec project can really be put on the watchlist.
