Aztec @Devconnect 2025

​Privacy season is here, and Aztec is bringing it to life at Devconnect

​Aztec is taking over the entrance to Devconnect's Privacy District with a full town square experience - your home base for everything privacy during the week (Nov 17-21).

​What to Expect

​The Privacy Town Square - Find us at the main Devconnect building where we've created an open hub for the privacy community. Grab Aztec swag, snag a temporary tattoo, connect with fellow builders, and nerd out about building privacy-preserving applications. This is your meeting point, your networking space, your privacy home for the week.

​The Salon - Step into our dedicated dev space for meeting projects in the Aztec ecosystem and getting hands-on demos. We're programming regular sessions with ecosystem partners and our very own DevRel team across all four days of the conference where you can learn to build privacy-preserving applications on the only fully decentralized private world computer.

​Come Through If You're:

• ​Interested in building the next generation of privacy-native applications
• ​Part of the privacy movement and want to connect
• ​Curious what real privacy looks like on-chain
• ​Ready to learn from ecosystem partners pushing boundaries
• ​Here to network and be part of privacy season

​Why Aztec

​Aztec is a fully decentralized, privacy-preserving L2 on Ethereum. If Ethereum is the world computer, you can think of Aztec as extending everything that Ethereum does, but with optional privacy at every level; the private world computer. Aztec is already live on testnet, with over 23k operators powering the network.

​On Aztec, you can easily write smart contracts that have both private and public functions. And when we mean privacy, we don’t compromise: private transactions, private accounts, and fully private compute. If you want something to stay private, it simply is.
