Aztec’s Public Testnet is live.

The privacy revolution is finally here.
For a decade, we've focused on scaling infra to onboard the world.

But mass adoption stalled- it was missing a key element, until now.

Aztec has been leading the privacy revolution since 2017, and now we’re bringing programmable privacy to all of Web3.
aztec.network/blog/a-new-era…
Build what wasn’t possible before - a private DEX, games with hidden info, social apps, and more.

Try it out and deploy a private smart contract in minutes↓
aztec.network/developers
The Aztec Network is secured by decentralized sequencers and provers.

Now’s your chance to participate: boot up a sequencer node and help power the first fully decentralized, privacy-preserving L2.

Set up and run a node↓

Now you can build fully private, composable applications on Ethereum’s first fully decentralized L2.

To know where we’re going, you must understand where we’ve been.

Aztec started in 2017 with CreditMint- an onchain debt platform.

But no one would trust public blockchains without privacy guarantees.

That insight led @Zac_Aztec, @jaosef, @_ArnaudS_, & @tomwalpo to found Aztec. Image
In 2019, Aztec created PLONK- a SNARK-based proving system.

PLONK has been implemented by @zksync, @0xPolygon, @MinaProtocol, & others.

It inspired an entire category of proving systems called PLONKish, and was instrumental in paving the way for zkmoney & Aztec Connect. Image
Between 2021–2023, Aztec operated zkmoney and Aztec Connect- proving demand for onchain privacy & private networks powered by PLONK.

Full decentralization wasn't possible, so both were sunset.

@NoirLang was born - a Rust-like, general-purpose DSL for privacy-preserving apps. Image

1/ Aztec is committed to bringing privacy and decentralization together.

Imagine a world where developers can write programs that protect user data but take full advantage of a trustless, permissionless system.

That’s where we’re headed, and this product roadmap is how we’ll get there.

Read a note from our Founders @Zac_Aztec & @jaosef ➡️ aztec.network/blog/road-to-m…Image
2/ Jump straight into Aztec’s product roadmap as we enter our road to mainnet here:

3/ Join Aztec’s ‘Road to Mainnet’ X Space this Thursday at 9AM PST.

Listen to both our cofounders, @Zac_Aztec and @jaosef while they dive deeper into the product roadmap and Aztec’s road to mainnet in a conversation hosted by our CMO @clairekart.

How can blockchains, privacy, and verifiability disrupt, heal, expand, and modify the world around us, addressing its problems, weaknesses, points of failure, and fragilities?

We came up with 47 use cases and 75 examples! Let's review some of them👇🧵 Image
We start with more widely known examples and then jump to those less intuitive and obvious.

Example 1: Programmable identity
Today, when someone needs to confirm their identity, age, citizenship, or residential address, they provide a passport, ID, or other formal documents. Image
With zero-knowledge proofs, one can manage all their documents client-side and provide proofs of specific properties upon request, without requiring documents.

One should note that for this use case we strictly need privacy-preserving composable blockchain (e.g. Aztec).

Aztec Sandbox is now in Alpha.

Over the last few months we've worked with a hardcore group of developers to improve the Sandbox.

We're now ready to expand that opportunity to all developers.

So what is Aztec Sandbox?

The Sandbox is a local developer testnet that arms developers with:
- a local node
- smart contract framework ()
- developer tooling

All designed to make it easy to build and test privacy-first applications.Aztec.nr

At Aztec Labs we believe building on L2 represents a huge opportunity to improve privacy UX.

That's why we're making privacy-first app development more intuitive than ever with painless state management.

Introducing Privacy Abstraction with Aztec:

medium.com/@azteclabs/pri…
First off: why even build on L2? And why not build a zkEVM?

For starters, Aztec is not EVM compatible.

In fact at Aztec Labs we joke we're the first ones *not* to build a zkEVM.

And not only is Aztec not EVM compatible, privacy itself isn't EVM compatible.
You might find yourself saying:

“Wait the EVM doesn't support privacy? Sure it does.”

And in fact there have been Solidity smart contracts that run on the EVM and provide primitive, non-programmable privacy functionality like mixing.

But our goal is far more ambitious.

Today we're proud to announce the next generation of our encrypted zkRollup with the same name that started it all:

Aztec.

Aztec is the first ever hybrid zkRollup, enabling both public and private smart contract execution in one environment.

It's Ethereum, encrypted.

👇 Image
Aztec explodes the design space of what you can do on blockchains by allowing public-private composability.

Today, we’re proud to announce the roadmap for delivering Aztec to public testnet.

See our full announcement below, and read on for the tl;dr:

medium.com/@aztecnetwork/…
Ethereum is, at its heart, a state machine. It takes a starting state, ingests transactions (sequenced into blocks), and transitions state deterministically.

Aztec takes the original promise of a global state machine and extends it to private state.
