Roadmap

Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads. But launching the first decentralized, privacy-preserving, fully-loaded blockchain does call for a map.

Programmable
Privacy

So you can write smart contracts that support both private and public state.

Achievement Highlights
( A )
Client Side Proving (PXE)

Enabled efficient client-side proof generation to keep private balances and transactions on the user’s device.

( B )
Aztec.nr

Built a smart contract framework on Noir to allow developers to easily write contracts that seamlessly incorporate both public and private functions.

( C )
Aztec.js

Developed Javascript-based SDK to deploy and interact with smart contracts on the Aztec Network.

Network
Decentralization

So you can deploy contracts to a decentralized network of sequencers and provers.

Achievement Highlights
( A )
Decentralized Sequencer Network

Established permissionless, fully decentralized network of operators validating, sequencing, and proposing blocks on the Aztec Network.

( B )
Decentralized Prover Network

Established permissionless, fully decentralized network of operators creating zero-knowledge proofs for blocks on the Aztec network.

( C )
Decentralized Governance

Decentralized governance mechanisms for sequencers to propose, vote on, and implement network changes.

Proving
System

So you can efficiently generate zero-knowledge proofs using our groundbreaking cryptography system.

Achievement Highlights
( A )
Plonk

Breakthrough general-purpose zk-proof scheme that dramatically improves zkSNARK efficiency developed by Zac Williamson (Aztec Labs Co-Founder and CEO) and Ariel Gabizon (Aztec Labs Chief Scientist).

( B )
Honk

A system with faster proofs, better memory efficiency, greater flexibility for writing efficient circuits, and other anserine qualities.

( C )
Goblin

Computation delegation scheme that improves prover performance and allows a resource-constrained prover to construct a zk-SNARK with multiple layers of recursion. Do not feed or get wet after midnight.

Noir
Language

So you can write privacy-preserving ZK programs intuitively without knowing any cryptography.

Achievement Highlights
( A )
Type System

Developed Rust-like data types including integers, booleans, strings, arrays, slices, tuples and structs.

( b )
Proving Backend Decoupling

Fully decoupled Noir and proving backends, easing the use of programs with different backends like UltraHonk, Plonky2 and Halo2—as well as the development of Noir-compatible backends.

( C)
Noir 1.0 Pre-Release

Shipped a stable version of Noir the language, adding new features such as automatic folding, library registry, and Language Server Protocol upgrades.

Community
Participation

So you can help grow, shape and scale smart contracts the Aztec network and its ecosystem of unprecedented applications.

Achievement Highlights
( A )
Alpha Build

Completed developer sprint on Aztec Devnet focused on building wallets, payment, identity and social solutions.

( B )
Private Shared State

Executed Noir Community Research campaign to foster the innovation and application of private computation over shared data.

( C )
Cross-Chain RFP

Requested proposals to build multi-chain token bridges into the Aztec network, connecting to another L2 to effectively export privacy.
