drakefjustin said two papers improving Shor's algorithm landed the same day, pulling the quantum timeline forward again. Aztec Alpha went live, billed as the first feature complete privacy stack on Ethereum. ethresear.ch proposed sharding Ethereum state and pairing each part with its best PIR scheme so users can read chain data without revealing what they read. forshtat proposed moving the native AA proposal EIP-7701 to Withdrawn while his EIP-8209 merged.

ethresear.ch: Sharded PIR Design for the Ethereum State

(aliatiia and Keewoo Lee), 04:30: private information retrieval lets users read chain data from remote servers without the server learning what was read; PIR schemes trade off differently and Ethereum data varies in update rate and latency sensitivity, so sharding data and pairing each set with its best scheme gives better overall performance at the same privacy.
