Privacy on Ethereum has arrived. Today, the Aztec team launches its privacy network on Ethereum!
What can you do with Aztec?
You can incorporate zkDai into your dApp today using our SDK.
Over the coming six weeks we’ll release other zk Tokens onto the network, and in two months’ time we will remove restrictions so you can make completely private custom assets from scratch.

What’s the technology?
Aztec has deployed the two core components of its technology today:
- Aztec Crypto Engine (ACE) — our smart contract validator on Ethereum mainnet, checking the correctness of every private transaction
- Privacy SDK — abstracts away the complexities of Aztec’s cryptography, so developers can integrate privacy into their dapps with ease

Triptych of Privacy
After launching Data Privacy today, Aztec network remains on course to deliver its Triptych of Privacy:
- Data Privacy: ✅ Aztec has today launched data privacy — transaction amounts are cryptographically hidden
- User Privacy: People watching the network can no longer determine the sender and recipient IDs
- Code Privacy: The final flourish — making smart contracts private
Alongside these, Aztec is engineering the solutions required to scale its privacy network.

Privacy in a World of Merchant Data
Privacy is an indelible right and a prerequisite to doing business— it’s a basic defence against data-harvesting and the accumulation of unauthorised access to our most sensitive information, from competitors to snoopers.
Our privacy network acts as a shield between you and the rest of the world — dapps, counterparties, and all other network observers
Public blockchains give us unprecedented immediacy of access to our financial assets, and now Aztec has built the critical defence for users of open Web3.0 networks.
