AZTEC'S ROAD TO MAINNET

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

After seven years of public development, the privacy-focused Aztec L2 has finally released its road to mainnet with an interactive roadmap. It is similar in structure to Ethereum's roadmap, with several categories like programmable privacy, decentralization, and proving system with several steps in each ultimately leading to the mainnet launch. As one of the original privacy projects, Aztec enables private smart contracts and interactions through its Noir programming language and zero-knowledge proofs.
