Aztec presented a new solution to improve the privacy and scalability of Ethereum Developers from startup Aztec today unveiled a platform for scaling Ethereum using zero-knowledge proof technology. They have previously used similar cryptographic techniques to increase the anonymity of the second largest cryptocurrency. Aztec 2.0 builds on the increasingly popular ZK roll-up technology. It uses zero-knowledge proofs like zkSNARK to roll multiple transactions into one, committing to the main blockchain, which can increase throughput to 300 transactions per second. Aztec claims that their design is superior to other similar solutions because it is able to provide "programmable privacy". The PLONK standard they created allows you to organize a two-tier system for processing transactions. Initially, using zkSNARK, the data of the sender, recipient, as well as the volume of transactions are hidden, which makes them private. These transactions are then grouped together, again with zkSNARK. The startup describes the end result as “zkSNARK inside zkSNARK”. The advantages of this method, according to the developers, may be of interest to users of DeFi services. Older systems based on the same principles, such as Zcash, are programmed to do the same operation many times. Each new application scenario requires a trusted installation ceremony, but with PLONK this can be avoided. Aztec also presented a new scripting language Noir, with which developers will be able to write zkSNARK transactions for the second version of the platform. Aztec is launching a private testnet for sending Dai and other ERC20 tokens this week, with a mainnet release scheduled for November.
