What is Aztec?

Aztec is a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum that focuses on providing privacy for transactions and applications. It allows developers to create decentralized applications with programmable privacy features, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential while still being verifiable on the Ethereum network.

How Aztec works

Aztec operates by utilizing zero-knowledge proofs, which enable private transactions to be verified without revealing the underlying data. Transactions are processed on the user's device, with proofs sent to the network for verification. The Aztec block is settled on Ethereum, allowing for network state verification. The system is decentralized, with anyone able to run a sequencer to order transactions, operate a prover node to generate zk proofs, and participate in governance.

Risks

Digital asset prices can be volatile and can change materially. Users should verify the contract address and network before transferring assets. Self-custody requires secure private-key and recovery-phrase handling. Centralized platforms can involve operational, custody, and counterparty risk. Availability and regulatory treatment can vary by jurisdiction. Transaction finality and reversibility can differ by network.

Transfer and custody notes

Verify the asset name, network, and any supplied contract details before transferring. Verify destination address and network before sending assets. Review the custody method, including self-custody versus a third-party platform. Understand that transfers may be irreversible and that CoinLoom does not confirm exchange availability.
