Advanced Concepts

Explore advanced Aztec concepts including authentication witnesses, circuits, and storage mechanisms that enable privacy-preserving smart contracts.

Aztec Overview

Comprehensive overview of Aztec Protocol, a privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum with both private and public state.

Circuits

Explore Aztec's core protocol circuits that enforce privacy rules and transaction validity through zero-knowledge proofs, enabling private state and function execution.

Contract Deployment

Learn how contract classes and instances are created and deployed on the Aztec network.

Glossary

Comprehensive glossary of terms used throughout the Aztec documentation and protocol.

Private Kernel Circuit

Learn about the Private Kernel Circuit, the only zero-knowledge circuit in Aztec that handles private data and ensures transaction privacy by executing on user devices.

Public Kernel Circuit

Understand the Public Kernel Circuit executed by sequencers that manages public state transitions in Aztec.

Rollup Circuits

Learn how Rollup Circuits compress thousands of transactions into a single SNARK proof using a binary tree topology for efficient verification on Ethereum.

Storage

How are storage slots derived for public and private state

Transactions

Explore how transactions work in Aztec, including their lifecycle, structure, and the flow from creation to inclusion.

Wallet Architecture

Understand the architecture of Aztec wallets and how they interact with the PXE to manage accounts and transactions.
