Aztec’s Privacy-Focused Rollup Launches Testnet Amid Institutional Demand
Aztec Network, a layer-2 rollup specializing in transactional privacy, has deployed its long-awaited testnet. The development arrives as financial institutions increasingly seek confidential batch-processing solutions for blockchain transactions.
Eight years in development, Aztec’s protocol-level encryption distinguishes it from conventional zero-knowledge rollups. "All secret information remains encrypted when posted to our blockchain," stated co-founder Zac Williamson. The architecture enables applications and users to shield sensitive data without compromising on-chain verifiability.
