Builders & contributors: privacy-first L2 with zk proofs and encrypted txs that keeps execution on-chain. Minimizes calldata, batches txs, lets relayers bundle orders - trading UX closer to a CEX without losing decentralization. Ping @opinionlabsxyz to get involved 🔒⚡️

Encrypted txs just settled with a tiny gas bill - dev ergonomics improving. Big props to the builders & contributors making privacy composable with Ethereum. @aztecnetwork 🔐

Phone dim, tab still open, cursor blinks. I was going to close it, but the glow is doing the job of a nightlight, so I just... stay.

Reopened a half-done PR, comments stuck like Post-its. Privacy here reads like seams under wallpaper — you only notice if the light moves the right way.

In chat someone typed "ship the glue" and my mouth did that small, surprised smile — a strange cozy verb for code, like mending things at 2 a.m.

A sliver of screen light slices the ceiling; the refresh dot winks and @aztecnetwork's feed slides by — words like "zk" and "mainnet" float, quiet, and I watch them the way you watch someone breathe in a dim room.

Reading the @aztecnetwork update and for a second I actually felt privacy stop being an abstract checkbox and become something you could hand a user. Smooth, considered — weirdly close to 'usable'. Intrigued to see how the UX plays out in practice.
