What is Aztec

Aztec Network stands as a pioneering privacy-first Layer 2 solution on Ethereum, reimagining blockchain as a "Private World Computer." Designed to shatter the barriers of enforced transparency, Aztec empowers users and developers with end-to-end privacy for identities, transactions, and smart contracts. By embedding optional privacy at every layer, it addresses the core limitations that have stifled institutional adoption and real-world asset integration on-chain, paving the way for a new "Renaissance" of decentralized applications where confidentiality is not an add-on but a foundational principle.

At its core, Aztec leverages zero-knowledge proofs and innovative cryptographic primitives like partial notes to deliver programmable privacy. Developers can craft custom privacy levels—spanning user data, metadata, transactions, and even code—using the intuitive Rust-like DSL called Noir, all while generating client-side proofs that keep sensitive information off the network. This composable privacy extends across chains, enabling seamless interactions with ecosystems like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism without exposing details. From day one, Aztec ensures full decentralization in sequencing, proving, and governance, eliminating single points of failure and fostering trustless operations.
