The Aztec Public Testnet is now live, turning the dream of building private, composable applications into reality. The privacy revolution has finally arrived.

Aztec Network is an Ethereum-based privacy ZK-Rollup, enabling decentralized applications (dApps) to achieve both privacy and scalability. Its rollups are secured by PLONK, the industry-standard zero-knowledge proof system used by leading ZK projects.

Aztec Protocol leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to achieve two critical goals on Ethereum:

• Encrypted transaction verification

• User privacy protection

Its Private Rollup solution requires just one Layer 1 rollup to conceal DeFi interactions, anonymizing transaction paths and protocol usage while minimizing on-chain traceability.

While public blockchains offer transparency, they also expose user activity—leaving privacy severely lacking compared to traditional web applications. Aztec bridges this gap, allowing users to enjoy both blockchain’s trustless nature and robust privacy.

Aztec uses homomorphic encryption and range proofs to optimize ZKP verification, slashing interaction costs. Its DeFi bridge supports batch processing for thousands of transactions, reducing gas fees by over 90% compared to conventional methods—making privacy accessible to everyday users.

• Zachary Williamson: Co-founder & CEO of AZTEC Protocol.

• Joe Andrews: Co-founder & Head of Product at Aztec Network.

• Dec 15, 2022: $100M Series B (Led by Paradigm, a16z)

• Dec 16, 2021: $17M Series A

• Nov 29, 2018: $2.1M Seed Round

Aztec operates as a background privacy shield, letting users securely interact with dApps while staying anonymous. Its Ethereum L2-native architecture delivers unique advantages, explaining backing from heavyweights like Paradigm and a16z.

In blockchain, data security remains paramount—and Aztec’s tech stack is pioneering the solutions to address it.
