L2BEAT is now ETHBEAT.
5+ years of keeping L2s accountable, now extended to privacy, interop, staking and beyond. One goal: transparency on the guarantees users get on Ethereum.
Thank you to the community that got us here. The next chapter starts today!

From L2Beat to ETHBeat
Luca from @ethbeat_org highlighting how the Michelin Guide for CROPS will bring even more transparency to Ethereum and all users.
Aztec v6 is not only about ancient civilizations or wild and free-running horses, but also the first version of @aztecnetwork with no known vulnerabilities!
In the meantime, while fixing the proof system, they streamlined their decentralised governance process, accelerated proofs, and had their first private apps launched (including @zk_money which we already track).
The latest ZK rollup is as immutable, permissionless, private and Stage 2 as the previous ones, a refreshing new normal. Because privacy is normal.
Introducing Aztec Tierra (Alpha V6).
The platform for unstoppable private apps is here.
Ethereum's only decentralized L2, with fully programmable privacy: permissionless, private smart contracts.
No backdoors. No gatekeepers.

Risks, stage, contracts, permissions: everything you need to know about Aztec v6 is on our page 👇

And if you’re interested in going private on Aztec, see how @zk_money works and how private it is 🥷

From Devcon 8:
@donnoh_eth says: "We are called L2BEAT, but the main focus for us moving forward will be privacy."
He flagged upgradeable privacy contracts as a risk and promised an announcement in his talk tomorrow.
@EFDevcon
zk proofs for LLM inference 👀
The same cryptographic techniques that help secure millions on Ethereum L2s could soon prove which AI model generated your answer.
Happy to see our data finding its way into @AnthropicAI's latest research!

For the provers, verifiers and trusted setups behind the L2s, see our ZK Catalog: l2beat.com/zk-catalog
Strong start to @EFDevcon 🇮🇳 @donnoh_eth reminded everyone why privacy matters, and why it’s still so hard to get right.
Privacy is now a core part of @l2beat's work, and he’s sharing something big at his talk tomorrow! Don't miss it 👇

We’re in Mumbai this week ! 🇮🇳
@bkiepuszewski, @kaereste, and @donnoh_eth will be around @EFDevcon.
If you’re building something you think L2BEAT should be looking at, or have questions about our research, come say hi.
You can also catch Luca on stage twice 👇
Luca will take part in Devcon’s opening ceremony on Tuesday, November 3.
🕒 Ceremony runs 09:30–12:00 IST

A protocol can have years of history while the contracts securing your funds changed last week.
Our Ossification page looks at how long a project's critical contracts have remained unchanged, alongside the value secured and its upgrade conditions. 👇

There’s also the question of whether users can leave before the next upgrade.
Taiko’s row shows no exit window, meaning users have no guaranteed time to leave before an upgrade takes effect. That matters when reading how the system can change.
Upgrades can fix bugs and add useful features, even as critical changes reset the ossification clock.
The page brings that history together with exposure and exit windows so you can assess what has remained unchanged and how it could change next.
