- Aztec.nr docs and source code
- Includes:
aztec(core) - the core of the frameworkeasy-private-state- for easily creating private statesafe-math- for safe arithmeticvalue-note- for storing arbitrary values
- Includes:
- Noir libraries - Noir libraries can be used in Aztec contracts
- Contract state
- Functions
- Compiling contracts
- Deploying contracts
- Portal contracts - portal contracts enable L1<>L2 communication
- Authentication Witness - authentication witnesses are like token approvals on Ethereum, but are much more flexible and powerful.
- Calling public function from private functions - private functions cannot directly manipulate public state, they can by staging a call to a public function that updates public state.
- You can also use this pattern to "pass" public inputs into private state by passing the input as an argument to a private function, staging a public function call that validates the input against the current public state.
- The list is growing quickly, see this page of the docs for the latest, most complete list.
