In the evolving ecosystem of blockchain technology, privacy has emerged as a critical frontier, particularly for public chains like Ethereum. Aztec stands out not as a mere privacy enhancement or a specialized mixer, but as a dedicated privacy-first execution layer that settles on Ethereum. Launched as the first decentralized, privacy-preserving Layer 2 (L2) zkRollup on Ethereum, Aztec enables end-to-end programmable privacy for smart contracts and transactions.
