Network
Aztec aims to be the first decentralized privacy network.
Aztec is a decentralized smart contract platform that supports groundbreaking use-cases with privacy by default. We’re not repeating the sins of web2: centralization, censorship, and data oligarchies.
Open network, cheap fees, private execution.
Our decentralization efforts and how to run an Aztec node
Our Principles
Privacy
The only network with fast client-side encryption
Flexible
Programmably private architecture allows developers and users to implement privacy convenient and lift it when it's necessary
Human
Write circuits with the most developer-friendly private smart contracting language, Noir
Low Cost
Private transfers up to 100x cheaper than Layer 1 Ethereum
Secure
The most widely used and heavily audited zk proving system in the industry
Efficient
Succinct zero-knowledge proofs enable more efficient computation and less energy expenditure.
