What is Aztec?

Aztec is a privacy-focused Layer 2 network built on Ethereum that enables programmable private smart contracts using zero-knowledge proofs. While Ethereum transactions are transparent by default, Aztec introduces encrypted state and private execution, allowing developers to build applications where data, balances, and contract logic can remain confidential. The network combines public and private functions within the same application, enabling selective disclosure when necessary while preserving privacy by default.

Aztec operates as a zkRollup, meaning transactions are executed off-chain and then bundled into batches. Cryptographic proofs are submitted to Ethereum mainnet, where they are verified, allowing Aztec to inherit Ethereum’s security guarantees. This architecture improves scalability and reduces transaction costs while maintaining strong security assumptions.

Unlike traditional EVM-compatible Layer 2 solutions, Aztec is designed specifically for private computation. It introduces its own privacy-oriented architecture and tooling that support encrypted state and private contract interactions. This enables use cases such as confidential DeFi, private identity systems, enterprise-grade applications, and any scenario where users or developers require control over what information is publicly visible on-chain.

What is $AZTEC?

$AZTEC is the native token of the Aztec Network and plays a central role in its economic and governance structure. It is designed to secure the network, incentivize participation, and coordinate decentralized decision-making.

One of its primary functions is staking. Participants who operate network infrastructure, such as sequencers or provers, are required to stake $AZTEC in order to validate transactions and contribute to block production. Staking aligns incentives by ensuring that participants have economic exposure to the network’s integrity and performance.

$AZTEC also functions as a governance token. Holders can participate in protocol decisions, including upgrades, parameter adjustments, and broader network policies. Governance mechanisms enable the community to influence the evolution of the protocol in a decentralized manner.

$AZTEC may be used within the network’s fee and reward structure. It can support validator incentives, ecosystem funding initiatives, and other mechanisms that sustain long-term network security, development, and adoption.
