Encryption is a topic most of us take for granted, but it’s silently keeping our data safe, our banks secure and our personal information private. With the rise in blockchain technology we’re now into a new era of public information sharing, creating a number of challenges for those seeking to harness this new world. Almost all blockchains today are fully transparent. Anyone can read details of each transaction or see when any account makes a transaction. This allows anyone to verify the correctness of the blockchain, but compromises user privacy and constrains the set of possible applications developers can build.

Aztec Network is a privacy shield for Ethereum. They enable affordable, private crypto payments and DeFi interactions via zero-knowledge proofs. At its core, privacy isn’t just a fundamental right, but a creative force for crypto. Their goal is to unleash the full potential of decentralized technologies by building an open, encrypted blockchain network with no compromises.
