With local node software, full-stack developer tooling, and a CLI wallet, the Sandbox lets you build and test fully private applications.
Aztec’s ZK-optimized VM means you can easily prove facts about Aztec and Ethereum state.
Aztec’s private execution environment (PXE) allows you to run private transactions on a local machine.
The client library for interacting with the Aztec’s private execution environment (PXE).
An Aztec local node simulates Ethereum so you can run an Aztec rollup on your machine.
Aztec-nargo and aztec-builder are command-line tool allowing you to compile smart contracts.
The Aztec Sandbox is just Step 1 on a long-term roadmap to a fully-fledged developer testnet and mainnet for the Aztec Network.
Create privacy-first smart contracts that leverage Aztec’s private state design.
Interact with smart contracts, work with private and public storage.
Create and send private and public transactions that change blockchain state.
All private transactions on Aztec originate with the user. Using the PXE, she simulates the transaction and then creates a proof of correct execution.
The proof is then submitted to an Aztec sequencer, who ingests the proof and begins ordering transactions and assembling the rollup block.
The transaction block is then proven recursively by a decentralized network of provers--ultimately resulting in one final root rollup proof.
Finally, the root rollup proof is posted to Ethereum along with a new merkle root containing all state changes. The proof is verified on Ethereum L1 and the process begins anew.
