Gate News update: On April 1, the zero-knowledge privacy technology project Aztec Network officially launched its Alpha version. This version features a complete execution environment, allowing all accounts, transactions, and execution processes to achieve full privacy.
The version supports three major privacy functionalities: data privacy (supporting scenarios such as private transactions, RWA, payments, and stablecoins), identity privacy (supporting private connections to accounts linked to real-world identities, meeting institutional compliance and selective disclosure needs), and computation privacy (supporting applications like private finance and gaming).
In terms of technical implementation, developers can use the Noir language to write smart contracts, marking functions as private or public via Aztec.nr. Users execute private logic locally and generate ZK proofs; the sequencer only verifies these proofs without viewing the data, and ultimately performs batch settlements on Ethereum L1 approximately every 12 seconds.
