Our mission.
At AZTEC, our mission is to drive the largest financial ecosystems
onto the public blockchain, by providing the tools to deploy private
transactions across these networks.
About us
We are a small and growing team of eight engineers and
mathematicians. We are focused on bringing advanced zero-knowledge
systems to market. We believe public blockchains need useable, efficient
privacy to reach their full potential.
We are the creators and maintainers of the AZTEC Protocol, the most
efficient zero-knowledge protocol built on Ethereum. You can find it
here: https://github.com/aztecprotocol/AZTEC
We’re backed by ConsenSys, Entrepreneur First and a small group of great angel investors.
