Project Overview
Aztec Network is the first private ZK-rollup on Ethereum, enabling decentralized applications to access privacy and scale. Its industry-standard PLONK proving mechanism is used by the leading zero-knowledge scaling projects, ensuring the security of its rollup.
Aztec Labs: Attacked Product Discontinued Four Years Ago, No Control Over It
according to Aztec Labs monitoring, the team is investigating a potential vulnerability affecting an Aztec payments product that was discontinued in 2021. Approximately $2 million was transferred from an immutable smart contract. This discontinued product is an immutable Stage 2 Rollup version that was deactivated in 2022. Aztec Labs does not hold the admin keys or any control over the system, and thus cannot pause or upgrade it. This incident is separate from the attack on the Aztec Connect product on June 14. The Aztec Foundation stated that the product affected by this attack is not associated with any smart contracts of the current network or the AZTEC ERC20 token.
Aztec Labs Acquires Obsidion, the ZKPassport Team; the Protocol Will Remain Open Source
According to an official announcement, Aztec Labs has acquired Obsidion—the team behind ZKPassport. The Obsidion team will continue developing ZKPassport while also leading the development of new consumer-facing products. The ZKPassport protocol will remain open-source. Aztec Labs stated that ZKPassport enables users to prove attributes such as age, nationality, or sanctions status using government-issued identity documents—without uploading any personal data to a server and without personal data ever leaving the user’s device. It already supports over 130 countries and regions and has been used for nationality and sanctions compliance verification in the Aztec Network token sale.

Aztec Network team has fully liquidated its public sale ETH, transferring over 15,000 ETH to Coinbase.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), Aztec Network, an Ethereum privacy-focused Layer 2 project, transferred its final batch of 5,020 ETH (approximately $12.33 million) to Coinbase in the early hours today. This completes the liquidation of all 19,388.4 ETH (approximately $59.13 million) raised during its public auction in December last year. At the time, the project auctioned 15% of its AZTEC tokens (1.5 billion tokens) at a price of $0.0473 per token—roughly 50% lower than the current market price. During the Token Generation Event (TGE), the team withdrew 4,234.6 ETH to establish liquidity, while the remaining 15,154 ETH were gradually transferred to Coinbase over the past three months.

Aztec Network Attacked, Losses Exceed $2.15 Million; Root Cause is a Mismatch Between ZK Proof and L1 Settlement Boundaries
According to analysis by BlockSec Phalcon (@Phalcon_xyz), Aztec Network's RollupProcessorV3 contract was attacked, resulting in losses exceeding $2.15 million. The root cause is that `numRealTxs` was not effectively bound to the transaction set enforced by the ZK proof, causing a deviation between the proof verification path and the L1 settlement logic's interpretation of the transaction list.The attacker exploited this vulnerability to move real deposits to slots not processed by the settlement logic, bypassing the `decreasePendingDepositBalance()` function. By creating unbacked private balances out of thin air, they were able to withdraw funds through the normal settlement process. A total of seven assets were involved.
