AZTECAztec (AZTEC) Price

1. Project introduction

Aztec is a privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum. Its architecture relies on a hybrid execution model where private functions are executed client-side in a Private Execution Environment (PXE) to maintain data confidentiality, while public functions run on the Aztec Virtual Machine (AVM) across a decentralized network of nodes. This design creates a unique directional flow where transactions originate privately on a user's device before interacting with the public state, all secured by zero-knowledge proofs submitted to Ethereum. To build on the network, developers use Noir, a domain-specific language optimized for writing zero-knowledge circuits, and leverage native account abstraction, which treats every account as a smart contract for flexible authentication and fee management.
