TL;DR;

Aztec's mission is to bring programmable privacy to Web3. Their Public Testnet has grown to over 15k nodes, processing more than 160k transactions with 10+ apps live. A block production slowdown occurred due to inconsistent transaction eviction, but a fix was deployed, and performance is being monitored for a decentralized launch.

Key Impact Areas

Programmable privacy for Web3

Successful Public Testnet with significant growth

Block production slowdown and subsequent fix

Decentralized L2 complexity

Challenges

Inconsistent transaction eviction due to small mempools

Block production slowdown

Complexity of running a decentralized L2 without incentives
