Aztec @ aztecnetwork is going for TGE, it still takes courage to choose this time point, Aztec is a name that cannot be avoided in the privacy race. As the most thorough privacy first Layer 2 in the Ethereum ecosystem, it received $100 million in Series B funding led by a16z. More importantly, after a series of narrative breakdowns, it chose to return to one of the most fundamental issues of blockchain: privacy! It's not about 'adding privacy to the chain', but assuming that privacy is the default state from the bottom. This route was not popular in its early years, but the real world is constantly verifying its necessity. I mentioned in a previous research article that the first CCA project of Uniswap v4 chose Aztec mainly because Aztec's moat is not at the application layer, but at the technical level. It has defined key standards in the field of zero knowledge proofs, and its self-developed zk programming language Noir is becoming the de facto foundation tool for privacy applications. Essentially, Aztec represents not a new story, but an old route that has finally arrived at the right point in time. In an industry where narrative updates are much faster than implementation, such projects often only show their weight at the end. Looking forward to the upcoming TGE! AZTEC is the ticker. https://tge.aztec.network/
