Aztec Network is a privacy-first Ethereum Layer 2 zkRollup that enables private smart contracts and confidential transactions by default, while remaining fully secured by Ethereum.
On Ethereum mainnet, all transaction data—addresses, balances, and transferred amounts—is publicly visible. Aztec changes this model by allowing users and developers to choose what information is revealed and what remains private, using zero-knowledge proofs to verify correctness without exposing sensitive data. Aztec is:
Privacy-first by default, not an optional add-on
Fully decentralized and permissionless
Ethereum-native, inheriting Ethereum’s security guarantees
Governed and secured by tokenholders through staking and decentralized block production
A Beginner’s Guide to Staking AZTEC
When staking Aztec (AZTEC), you are securing the network with the additional benefit of compounding your AZTEC!
Staking AZTEC is the process of holding AZTEC "stake" to partake and support the operations in the Aztec network to receive rewards. In order to be a "Validator" and participate in these operations, one is required to maintain a server running continuously, technological knowhow, experience, and have a significant self-bond (surety bond).
This is where P2P.org comes in, we allow AZTEC token holders to forget about all the heavy lifting i.e maintenance, surety bonds etc. by "delegating" their holdings to P2P to receive these rewards. We accumulate users' stake and act as a major indexer, receiving and allocating staking rewards between our users pro rata for the delegation.
Investors that chose to stake with P2P maintain full custody of their AZTEC at all times and P2P.org will never have access to them.
