History of Aztec: Pioneering Privacy in Web3

Aztec from 2017 to 2024 can be seen as a methodical journey toward building a fully private, programmable, and decentralized blockchain network. Aztec mainnet will mark the emergence of applications that weren't possible before – applications that combine the transparency and programmability of blockchain with the privacy necessary for real-world adoption.

The Best of Both Worlds: How Aztec Blends Private and Public State

In this article, we’ll talk about one of the core components unlocking privacy on Ethereum: state management. We’ll shed some light on programmable and composable privacy which allows dApp developers to choose what they want to make private and what to leave public. That allows for an ecosystem of privacy-preserving dApps that can communicate with each other as well as Ethereum.

Security of the Aztec Network: Audits of Bigfield

We are constantly striving to make the Aztec Network more secure by developing internal tooling and seeking external expertise. ‍To prepare for a barrage of future audits before the mainnet launch, we ran a test exercise with three well-established auditing companies including ZKSecurity, Zellic, and Spearbit.

Road to Mainnet

Since Aztec's launch seven years ago, we’ve been on a mission to solve one of the biggest barriers to mass blockchain adoption – privacy. Imagine a world where developers can write programs that protect user data but take full advantage of a trustless, permissionless system – all backed by the security. This is what we’re working towards, and this product roadmap is how we get there.

Unlocking the Future of Privacy: Exploring Identity and Social Use Cases in Alpha Build 2 with $100k in Prizes

After 7 years of building in the open, last month we announced that Devnet is now live. To celebrate we launched Alpha Build, a series of three developer sprints with up to US$100,000 in prizes and the opportunity to deploy on the Aztec for the first time. Starting October 8th - October 29th, 2024, the second sprint, Alpha Build 2 (AB2), will focus on identity and social.

WTF is Aztec?

Blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum provide humanity with programmable digital money. Aztec is a privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum. It enables a critical dimension of programmable digital money that has heretofore been ignored: privacy.
