The privacy chain Aztec Network, supported by a16z, officially launched Alpha Network, becoming the first Ethereum Layer 2 with a complete private smart contract execution environment, which was previously approved by a unanimous community governance vote.Aztec integrates privacy at three levels: private data supports confidential transactions and RWA transfers; private identity allows for selective disclosure to meet compliance requirements; private computation hides on-chain behavior, opening up space for privacy DeFi and gaming applications. Contracts are written in the Rust-style language Noir, with privacy logic executed on the user side to generate zero-knowledge proofs, settling on Ethereum approximately every 12 seconds.However, this launch comes with a significant warning, as Aztec disclosed known serious security vulnerabilities, with auditing still ongoing. The team advises users to only deposit funds they can afford to lose.

Arkham posted on the X platform that currently about 69.5% of EdgeX's supply is stored in addresses directly transferred from the initial developer wallet, some of which may belong to market makers and may be transferred to exchanges in the future.Additionally, 7% of the supply remains in the airdrop wallet and has not yet been allocated, estimating the current actual circulation ratio to be only about 9.5%. EdgeX nominally airdropped approximately $195 million to users, but after on-chain analysts raised questions, the project team admitted that 14% of the total supply was actually allocated to partners and liquidity providers, which at the current valuation amounts to about $94.6 million, nearly half of the total airdrop amount.
