The Endgame
for Blockchain Privacy
Introducing the Aztec Sandbox, a local developer environment for building end-to-end private applications.
The first milestone toward Aztec’s endgame: A no-compromises privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum.
Backed by the best investors in crypto
Build with the Aztec Sandbox
The all-new Aztec Sandbox makes writing privacy-first applications a snap.
Run local node infrastructure, utilize comprehensive smart contract and front-end libraries, and test and build with full-stack privacy tooling.
Infrastructure
Aztec Node & RPC Server
Run a package of backend services needed to build and publish Aztec rollup blocks, query blockchain state, and execute simulated transactions.
Smart Contracts
Noir & Aztec.nr
Write smart contracts using a comprehensive framework that extends Noir with private smart contract functionality.
Testing Tools
Aztec.js & Aztec CLI
Interact seamlessly with a local instance of an Aztec node. Submit transactions, test contracts, and query blockchain state.
Write with Aztec.nr
A powerful new smart contract framework for Aztec applications.
Aztec.nr allows you to write privacy-first smart contracts with sweet syntax, seamless state management, and a sophisticated library of privacy primitives.
Sweet syntax
Aztec.nr is written in Noir, an open-source Rust-based zk language.
Write code, not circuits.
Seamless state management
Manage private state headache-free. No more reasoning about Merkle Trees. Just read and write to private storage.
Sophisticated privacy primitives
Import cryptographic primitives like ECDSA and SHA without the hassle of re-implementation.
Learn with Aztec’s Community
Aztec Labs is committed to supporting open-source software development in tight collaboration with the best privacy developers in crypto.
