Aztec Network is a general-purpose Layer 2 enabling smart contracts with both public and private state. Developers can build applications where transaction data, balances, and contract logic remain confidential to uninvolved parties.
Key highlights:
Programmable privacy at the application layer—private DeFi, confidential payments, private voting
Composability between private and public state within the same application
Ethereum-grade security via validity proofs settled on L1
Decentralised, permissionless sequencer set through staking
