Aztec releases roadmap update; Alpha network code is ready and will undergo on-chain voting
Foresight News reports that Aztec has released its latest roadmap update, announcing that the Alpha network code has been fully completed. Aztec stated that the Alpha network is a version on Ethereum supporting fully programmable privacy smart contracts, representing the culmination of eight years of research and development by the team. The governance proposal for the Alpha network is now live on the forum and will be subject to community discussion before an on-chain vote.
This update covers four core directions: the execution layer has implemented a complete "private + public" dual-state model, and launched the Aztec.js SDK along with native account abstraction; the proof system introduces CHONK (Client-side Highly Optimized ploNK), specifically designed for mobile and browser platforms, reducing the time and memory required for clients to generate zero-knowledge proofs; the privacy programming language Noir 1.0 is nearing completion, with compiler auditing underway; on the decentralization front, Ignition Chain has maintained zero downtime since its launch, with over 3,500 Sequencers and more than 50 Provers distributed across five continents.
