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’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’s latest Mainnet upgrade—version 14.2 “Uqbar”—is now live, marking another milestone in the network’s path to full decentralization. With this release, all validators have successfully upgraded to Aleph Node 14.2, bringing critical improvements to block finalization and overall network robustness. At the same time, we have just released Testnet 15.0 “Menard” which brings further
