We are always appreciative of the shoutouts from @VitalikButerin.

We even build out ideas of his, including RollingChat, a private message board designed by @Zac_Aztec, that is live on Aztec Tierra right now!

To me, it feels like a private decentralized message board should already exist in this world, yet it didn't until now.

This is a demonstration of something new Aztec enables - anonymous accounts are linked to small ETH deposits. Each board can define its own moderation rules, accounts that are flagged are rate-limited.

My goal for rolling.chat is for it to be community-led and for the community to direct how the platform evolves. There is a lot we can do in the future with reputation systems and governance to expand on the concepts currently implemented.
RollingChat is live: a private messaging board on Aztec Tierra.

Connect an Ethereum wallet, post under any name or as Anonymous. No wallet address is ever attached to a post.

Based on an experiment by @VitalikButerin, completed by @Zac_Aztec.

An unstoppable network depends on the people running it, in enough places that no one can switch it off.

The @aztecFND is putting 100M ethereum:0xa27ec0006e59f245217ff08cd52a7e8b169e62d2 behind sequencer operators, sized so staking yields remain attractive for everyone else.

Formal verification of the proving system and ~1s client-side proofs are the Tierra upgrades we care most about 🔐

Private inference @P_Inference only stays private if the payment rail does too. Glad to be building private AI on @aztecnetwork 🤝

Coverage thread of the Aztec Tierra launch, starting with @l2beat.

L2BEAT continues to certify Aztec Tierra as a Stage 2 rollup, meaning it's immutable, permissionless, and private!

More coverage below ⬇️
Aztec v6 is not only about ancient civilizations or wild and free-running horses, but also the first version of @aztecnetwork with no known vulnerabilities!

In the meantime, while fixing the proof system, they streamlined their decentralised governance process, accelerated proofs, and had their first private apps launched (including @zk_money which we already track).

The latest ZK rollup is as immutable, permissionless, private and Stage 2 as the previous ones, a refreshing new normal. Because privacy is normal.

In practice, programmable privacy means a bank could build viewing keys into its own app for compliance purposes, while the network underneath the app holds none.

That split is how Aztec Tierra works, and @Zac_Aztec explains on @Bankless why institutions need it.

Full podcast below ⬇️
NEW EPISODE - The Race to Build the Private Ethereum

Can Ethereum have truly private smart contracts without backdoors?

Aztec co-founder @Zac_Aztec joins @TrustlessState to make the case for privacy without privileged access, and why he believes @aztecnetwork stands apart from ey break down why Wall Street needs privacy to move onchain, how ZK Passport enables identity verification without exposing personal data, and why AI-powered cyberattacks could make decentralized infrastructure more important than ever.

Private apps don't need another centralized platform deciding who gets access, what stays private, or what can be built.

They need infrastructure that's unstoppable.

Today, we're launching Aztec Tierra and a new identity for the platform built to deliver it.

Freedom to move unseen.
