Aztec is a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum focused on enhancing user privacy. It was founded by a team that created PLONK, a SNARK-based proving system introduced in 2019. PLONK has influenced various blockchain projects, establishing a category of proving systems known as PLONKish. Aztec's technology includes Noir, a programming language designed for creating zero-knowledge circuits, which has grown to become a notable tool in zk development with over 500 GitHub projects.
The platform has attracted institutional interest, having been tested by JP Morgan for its Quorum blockchain operations. This interest indicates Aztec's capabilities beyond research, positioning it as a viable option for privacy-preserving solutions in traditional finance and other sectors. Aztec's infrastructure supports initiatives like the Taurus confidential token standard, suggesting its role in developing regulated financial applications.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Track record score 62 out of 100. The chain has been live for 1.3 years, with on-record regulatory cleanliness at 75 after 1 regulatory action, and incident cleanliness at 80 despite 1 historical incident. Research also raised an additional concern count (55). Overall, prior events and compliance findings exist, but the profile is not purely negative.
Developer health score 0 out of 100. Public code activity indicators show 0 GitHub stars, 0 forks, 0 commits in the last 4 weeks, and 0 pull request contributors. The key flag is no recent commits, which materially reduces confidence in ongoing development momentum.
Network security score 45 out of 100. Economic security is scored at 19, reflecting weaker economic security relative to peers, with market cap at $76,802,370. The chain is 1.3 years old, which aligns with chainunder2years. While incident history is not empty (75 with 1 historical incident) and a supply hard cap is clearly defined (10,350,000,000), only about 29% of total supply is circulating (under50pct_circulating).
Social and behavioral score 57 out of 100. Social audience metrics indicate TW and TG accounts are verified, but follower data was limited to 25 (linked). Sentiment is split positively, with 100% up and 0% down. Research agent risk signals show 1 regulatory and 1 incident, but also 0 allegations and no bad press reported.
Adoption and liquidity score 45 out of 100. Trading activity is moderate, with $34,203,146 daily volume (38). Exchange listing data indicates 27 CEX listings, including 17 that meet a green-trust criterion. However, the market cap tier score is 0, which suggests the asset does not score well on size relative to categories used in this assessment.
Inherent crypto risk note (Aztec). Even with a hard cap defined and some exchange presence, the main risks come from early-chain status (about 1.3 years), limited circulating supply (under 50%), and low economic security. Additionally, public development activity appears absent in the most recent window, and regulatory actions are on record, which together raise uncertainty around resilience and continued progress.
