From March 21, the project will close the acceptance of deposits in smart contracts of the protocol. One year after this date, Aztec will stop shipping rollups, or rollups. Users will be able to withdraw funds only through special software.
The command will leave a protocol code and SDK in open access.
The network was the second iteration of the scaling solution from the project after the version called Aztec 1. By the end of 2023, the developers expect to launch a new version of the protocol, Noir, based on the programming language of the same name.
In April, the project will open a grant program for app creators.
Recall that in December 2022, a London-based startup raised $100 million in a Series B round.
A year earlier, Aztec raised $17 million.
