Aztec Network announced the launch of Ignition Chain, its new privacy-focused Layer 2 on Ethereum, according to an official statement shared on X. The team confirmed that the protocol is now operating with a fully decentralized consensus layer on the Ethereum mainnet, marking a key milestone for on-chain privacy infrastructure.
The network uses zero-knowledge cryptography (ZK) to process transactions without exposing sensitive data, aiming to enable private DeFi activity while maintaining Ethereum-level security. The deployment is expected to benefit developers, institutions and users seeking lower fees with built-in confidentiality, a feature still limited across most existing Layer 2 solutions. The initiative also signals growing demand for privacy-centric scaling tools as regulatory scrutiny increases worldwide.
Aztec stated that the next phase will include performance audits on validators and the rollout of additional developer tools. The project also plans to expand access to new node operators through a public staking program, gradually opening participation to third-party validators.
