> **Visual Note:** A vibrant pink and orange graphic for "Dark Forest Aztec" features an octopus logo and displays neon statistics showing "100+" accounts entered the digital universe and "10,320+" public calls made by players to the game's contract, visually highlighting the on-chain engagement metrics mentioned in the post about network-native privacy in a fog-of-war gameplay environment.

> "Fog of war, onchain. 

Dark Forest Aztec hides your coordinates and in-game moves from every other player while the game runs onchain. 

100+ accounts entered the universe and made 10,320 public calls to the contract during Round 1.

This is network-native privacy at play."

> **Video Content:** The video shows a 3D cluster visualization tool being navigated: the user drags to rotate the dense, spherical cloud of numbered transaction points (txs), then zooms in closely on a specific cluster labeled "1136 txs" (outlined by red diamond shapes) representing 3.1% of the network, before clicking through to reveal a detailed table of all 1,136 finalized transactions in "Cluster 66" on the Aztec network, showing hashes, block numbers, and other on-chain data. The interface is labeled "Clustec" and includes navigation options like "Mainnet," "Transactions," and "Privacy Sets," demonstrating how transaction privacy sets can be clustered and analyzed from an outside observer's perspective.

 worked on: clusters.

This is every tx on 
@aztecnetwork
, clustered by the only thing an outside observer gets: its outline."
