I haven’t looked at $AZTEC yet nor it’s take on privacy but I love this quote by Zachary Williamson, particle physicist and co-founder of Aztec Labs. Blockchain is being pulled between traditional finance and its decentralized ethos as the industry shifts to serve institutional products. Zac Williamson, co-founder of Aztec Labs, said early decentralized governance failures shifted blockchain’s trajectory away from community coordination. “There is a real risk that blockchain just becomes a slightly more efficient settlement layer than Visa or Mastercard,” he told Cointelegraph. “If we lose the social coordination side of this, then the entire point of the technology gets hollowed out.”
