Britain has scrapped its national digital ID scheme.
This is the right decision. A centralised database of every resident's identity is a breach waiting to happen.
We argued this in our consultation response to the UK government.

The only effective form of marketing is telling people what you're going to do, then doing it.
Promise + delivery = trust.

Something I think folks don’t fully grok yet is that zk.money is the real deal.
Actually private digital money, with defi capabilities on a permission-less network.
That thing people used to care about in another timeline.
Now it’s real. We’re making it real.
I am hyped to work at Aztec because I believe we are the only project that has a shot at fulfilling the original vision of crypto of expanding freedom in the world:
1. Bitcoin failed to do so because it's a volatile crypto asset unusable for payments. Pure SoV without payments is destined to deteriorate into just another asset to gamble on, not something that helps normal people.
2. Ethereum with stablecoins failed to do so because the UX without privacy is just impossible for normal people.
With Aztec and @zk_money we can:
1. Get perfect UX as you no longer need to think about what address to use to not dox yourself,
2. achieve user friendly and secure self-custody as we have account abstraction that makes implementation of schemes like passkeys-secured account contracts straightforward,
3. as an L2 we have an easy access to all the Ethereum's DeFi so we can easily support whichever unit of account and medium of account token users will desire.
All the other projects rely on an operator and there the forces of surveillance capitalism come into play. Not good.
Be a true sovereign individual and check @zk_money out!

Or you could use actually private stable coins on zk.money that earn 3.8% yield.
🙈
If you’re using stablecoins for real-world use cases, it’ll soon be unthinkable that they aren’t private.
Too much of crypto relies on pseudonymity instead of privacy, especially in the age of AI as it becomes easier to track and correlate transactions onchain.
Tempo has been working on Tempo Zones as a scalable, technically nuanced, and highly practical solution to onchain privacy.
And the first Tempo Zone is now live with Deel, adding privacy to their global contractor payouts.
We all want real-world flows to scale onchain, and privacy is a clear prerequisite to that. The Tempo team has worked hard to craft a practical solution and if you’re interested in learning more, please reach out to the team!
