Just write “if”: Why Payy left Halo2 for Noir
This is the story of how Payy transformed their ZK ecosystem from one bottlenecked by a single developer to a system their entire team can modify and maintain.
A New Brand for a New Era of Aztec
For eight years, we’ve been obsessed with solving impossible challenges. We invented new cryptography (Plonk), created an intuitive programming language (Noir), and built the first decentralized network on Ethereum where privacy is native rather than an afterthought. Now, we're starting the next renaissance.
Introducing the Adversarial Testnet
The Adversarial Testnet introduces two key features: slashing, which penalizes validators for malicious or negligent behavior in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks, and a fully decentralized governance mechanism for protocol upgrades.
ZKPassport Case Study: A Look into Online Identity Verification
For the Aztec Testnet, we’ve integrated ZKPassport to enable node operators to prove they are human and participate in the network. This integration allows the network to dramatically increase the number of sequencers that can be added each day, which is a huge step forward in decentralizing the network with real operators.
StealthNote: The Decentralized, Private Glassdoor of Web3
Imagine an app that allows users to post private messages while proving they belong to an organization, without revealing their identity. Thanks to zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), it's now possible to protect the user’s identity through secure messaging, confidential voting, secured polling, and more. This development in privacy-preserving authentication creates powerful new ways for teams and individuals to communicate on the Internet while keeping aspects of their identity private.
How to Enable Age Verification on the Internet Today Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs
This report explores the potential behind zero-knowledge proof (“ZKP”) identities (“ZKIs”) as an innovative solution for online age verification, offering the dual advantage of enabling robust identity verification while safeguarding personal information.
