Contracts are written in the Rust-style language Noir, with privacy logic executed on the user side to generate zero-knowledge proofs, settling on Ethereum approximately every 12 seconds.However, this launch comes with a significant warning, as Aztec disclosed known serious security vulnerabilities, with auditing still ongoing.

According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Ethereum has broken through a key technical support level and is currently showing a bearish flag pattern, with prices touching around $2004. This pattern is highly similar to this year's trend, and caution is advised as this pattern may reoccur.On the funding side, market trading volume remains sluggish, with insufficient participation willingness. Ethereum ETFs have continued to see net outflows since last year, with no recent improvement. On the fundamental side, the new cycle of DeFi has not yet started, and there are no obvious signs of recovery in on-chain activity. Recently, the minting volume of USDC has significantly slowed down and turned into net outflows. The improvement in liquidity within the ecosystem is still not stable, and structural demand support remains limited.

According to market news, due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, the price of Bitcoin has fallen from about $71,000 last week to around $67,000, dipping to $65,000 on Saturday. BTC Markets crypto analyst Rachael Lucas stated that Bitcoin briefly reached $72,000 earlier this week due to hopes for a breakthrough in Middle Eastern diplomacy, but as those hopes faded and concerns over oil supply resurfaced, the price retraced its gains.She pointed out that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has heightened inflation concerns, making it difficult for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, which puts pressure on crypto prices. BTSE Chief Operating Officer Jeff Mei indicated that oil and gas prices will remain high in the short term and drag down economic growth, suggesting that there is still room for crypto prices to decline, with Bitcoin potentially falling to a support level of $60,000.Bitrue Research Director Andri Fauzan Adziima believes that the market will continue to be volatile and driven by news; if the US-Iran conflict escalates, Bitcoin may test $60,000; if the situation eases and oil prices drop, it could rebound above $70,000.BTC Markets analyst Lucas also noted that current retail investor sentiment is fearful, with many adopting a wait-and-see or hedging stance, while institutional investors are showing the opposite trend. This month, over $1.13 billion flowed into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, ending four consecutive months of net outflows; Strategy continues to increase holdings, and Morgan Stanley is set to launch a low-fee Bitcoin ETF.She stated that when there is a clear divergence between retail panic and institutional accumulation, historical experience shows that institutional judgment is often more accurate.

EY announced the launch of the Blockchain Privacy Sandbox, a web-based development environment designed to help businesses and developers experiment with privacy-preserving smart contracts on public chains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It is reported that this sandbox environment is based on the open-source technology Starlight, allowing developers to convert standard Solidity smart contracts into applications with privacy protection features while retaining the original contract logic, and providing exploratory, replicable, and modifiable sample projects to accelerate proof of concept development.Currently, the Blockchain Privacy Sandbox is mainly used for experimentation and validation, supporting businesses in assessing the feasibility of privacy smart contracts, testing functionalities, and validating application scenarios before officially integrating Starlight. EY stated that this tool lowers the technical barrier for conducting privacy experiments on public chains by providing an easy-to-use web environment. Starlight, as the underlying ZKP compiler, has been open-sourced, allowing developers to integrate privacy features through its GitHub repository. As businesses' demand for data privacy protection on public chains increases, the attention on zero-knowledge proof technology continues to rise. Relevant reports indicate that the global ZKP market is expected to reach approximately $7.6 billion by 2033.

The U.S. Department of Defense is preparing for a "decisive strike" against Iran, while Bitcoin has once again fallen below $70,000, with a 24-hour decline of about 3%. The trigger for this drop was a report from Axios stating that the Pentagon is developing military options against Iran, including ground troops and "large-scale bombing operations." Analysts indicate that Trump's five-day pause on strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure will expire on Friday, and Bitcoin's support level is very fragile.Glassnode states that the cost basis for short-term holdings (purchased within the last month) is about $70,200, which is the current key support level; the resistance above is at the 1 to 3-month holding cost basis of $82,200. However, the accumulation of buy orders at this support level is limited, and "the probability of breaking below this level cannot be ignored until more solid buying support is established." Tim Sun, a senior researcher at HashKey Group, noted that the $70,200 level is more likely to be tested repeatedly rather than broken in one go, and the current price action shows "more of a defensive accumulation rather than confirming a new trend-driven market." He also warned that the current rebound is mainly driven by leverage rather than sustained spot buying, and once sentiment reverses, prices could quickly fall back.On a macro level, the VIX futures intraday volatility has surged to 388.2, the highest in nearly six months, about four times the average level typically associated with market panic, but the S&P 500 has only had two trading days in the past three months where it moved more than 1.75% in a single day. The Kobeissi Letter pointed out that the volatility priced in by the futures and options markets is far higher than the actual volatility of the S&P 500, indicating that "uncertainty is at an unprecedented level."
