> **Video Content:** The video opens with the text "Genius never stops._" typed in lime green against a dark maroon background, followed by "AZTEC" in lime over a blue and pink classical village painting. The background then shifts to a pink duotone of children fighting, revealing the text "July 21st, 2_" below the Aztec logo, before fading to the platform's lime green diamond logo on a dark maroon background. The post teases a fast, low-fee, private-by-default launch event, culminating in a date reveal and branded outro.
