Aztec releases v5 alpha, says fully private transaction proofs possible on mobile phones
Crypto privacy project Aztec has released its v5 upgrade in an alpha stage. Co-founder Williamson Aztec (윌리엄슨 아즈텍) said the upgrade was pursued to make fully private transactions the default in the Ethereum ecosystem. Aztec said the update more than halves proof times, cuts average private transaction costs by about 50 percent and reduces average block times to 6 seconds from 14. It also lowers rollup proof verification costs by about 40 percent.

Loopring, Ethereum\'s first zk-rollup, closes decentralised exchange
Loopring, described as Ethereum\'s first zk-rollup project, has closed its decentralised exchange service, The Block reported. The project said it lacked a virtual machine, preventing composability and real payment use cases, which limited ecosystem growth. It also acknowledged its zkEVM architecture lagged newer solutions fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. Loopring said it will refund users directly and cover all transaction fees, and will later restrict Layer 2 withdrawals to team-controlled whitelisted addresses after an upgrade.
