Project Overview

Aztec Network is a privacy-focused Layer 2 (L2) solution built on Ethereum, pioneering the use of zero-knowledge proofs to enable private, scalable, and cost-effective transactions and decentralized applications (dApps). As the first private ZK-rollup on Ethereum, Aztec allows users to interact with dApps and perform transactions with strong privacy guarantees, shielding user data and transaction details from public view. The platform leverages the PLONK proving mechanism, a leading zero-knowledge proof system, to ensure both security and efficiency. Aztec’s mission is to make privacy a fundamental right on Ethereum, enabling affordable, private payments and DeFi interactions while reducing transaction costs by up to 100x compared to Layer 1.
