Aztec

Aztec Network is building the first private, programmable ZK-rollup on Ethereum, enabling decentralized applications to access privacy and scale.

At Aztec we believe decentralization is premised on individual rights. Without widely accessible privacy, we compromise our ability to choose how we live our lives and earn our livelihoods.

That’s why we’re building Aztec Network to deliver privacy without compromise:

Private. Aztec is the only zero-knowledge rollup built with a privacy-first architecture from the ground up, allowing developers to build privacy preserving applications on the Aztec rollup with the option to integrate favorite apps on Ethereum, completely privately.

Accessible. Proving Aztec transaction validity through zero-knowledge proofs on Ethereum significantly reduces transaction costs.

Compliant. Our programmable, private system supports opt-in auditability and compliance while fully preserving confidentiality and maintaining credible neutrality at the protocol layer.

“When we started Aztec, the technology to scale blockchains privately didn’t exist. Since then, we’ve assembled a team of world-class cryptographers who continuously redefine the state-of-the-art. Inventing PLONK — the paradigm-defining universal zk-SNARK — showcases our ability to produce technology that matches our ambitions: unlocking an entire universe of blockchain applications that couldn’t exist without privacy.” - Zac Williamson, CEO and Cofounder, Aztec

To realize our vision, we are pioneering the next generation of privacy preserving zk roll-ups by building Aztec 3.
