Let’s explore the current state of privacy in the Arbitrum ecosystem to understand what measures are being implemented to enhance privacy protections for users. Along the road, we’ll also look for an optimal privacy solution. Most blockchain networks, including Ethereum, do not offer the privacy guarantees that users might expect in a web3 environment. They

We are excited to share a major milestone on our journey to making privacy easier and safer: Aleph Zero Shielder has been audited successfully by highly respected ZK Security, a top-notch player in zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography. Who is ZK Security? ZK Security is a leading security firm with experience in zero-knowledge technology. They’re well-regarded in

Getting Banxa live on Aleph Zero EVM is a significant step in making it easier for users to access the Aleph Zero ecosystem, starting with seamless AZERO purchases using fiat payment methods. Learn what’s next! Banxa is one of the leading crypto on-ramps, providing its services for over a decade. It processes $10 billion annually

Aleph Zero is bringing zero-knowledge privacy to multiple blockchain ecosystems—opening up for the majority of crypto users. Let’s break it down on how we’re rolling it out. ZK Privacy through the Shielder Network Shielder Network is a powerful privacy solution that comprises smart contracts, relayers, and cryptographic frameworks. It acts as the backend for private,

We’re pleased to announce the release of Mainnet 15.2, which introduces several important upgrades focused on increasing decentralization, strengthening validator accountability, and improving network transparency. This update builds upon the progress made in Testnet 15.0 (Menard) and lays the foundation for a more permissionless and resilient validator ecosystem. On-chain ABFT performance monitoring Mainnet 15.2 brings

A point that bears repeating is that blockchain networks today are not private. They’re pseudonymous. There’s no privacy on Ethereum by default–and most other blockchain networks do not count with the privacy guarantees that users would expect to see from a web3 environment.  Every financial transaction on the most popular blockchains is reviewable on a

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) play a critical role in securing your on-chain privacy and anonymity, yet implementing them comes with a complex triple-headed challenge. Let’s dive into what that challenge is–and how to solve it. Essentially, Zero-Knowledge Proofs prevent your financial history and identity from being exposed on a public chain through proving something is true

February was a month of steady progression for Aleph Zero. Last Thursday, we held a State of Aleph Zero livestream, which covered all the critical updates and next steps towards realizing our overall vision. Most importantly, we detailed how Aleph Zero is evolving into a Shielder Network—a privacy layer that’s accessible across multiple chains—with Common

Aleph Zero is building the leading interchain privacy framework, ensuring secure, compliant blockchain applications with a seamless experience—on any chain, for any dApp. Shielding is vital to realizing this vision. Shielding–which is making your assets private–is made possible by Aleph Zero’s zkOS, a single developer-friendly framework that integrates confidentiality features without requiring deep knowledge of
