Aztec releases Tierra upgrade, fixing security vulnerabilities and improving transaction proof speed.

Ethereum's privacy Layer 2 network, Aztec, has released the Tierra (Alpha V6) upgrade, fixing security vulnerabilities in version V5 and introducing an AI security testing system. This upgrade doubles the speed of generating privacy-preserving proofs of transactions, reducing the time for Ethereum messages to reach the Aztec network to as little as 12 seconds. The Aztec network currently has over 3,000 validators and no centralized sorting mechanism or privileged key viewing. (Source: The Block)
