AZTEC is a financial privacy engine running on Ethereum.

Modularity

We offer this financial privacy in five basic units — the send, the swap, the mint, the burn, and income payments.

Using these core units, developers can build everything from private payments to complex financial instruments such as bonds or equities.

All these transactions are executed on fully public networks — currently Ethereum mainnet. The lifecycle of the asset can be run entirely outside the traditional banking system.

Interoperability

All AZTEC’s Assets communicate through the Cryptography Engine, enabling assets inside our network to interoperate seamlessly. For instance, our swap transaction allows all these instruments to be traded without counterparty risk.
