In this episode of Blockchain Interviews, we sit down with Zac Williamson and Joe Andrews, co-founders of Aztec Network, the privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum. We unpack what a programmable privacy ecosystem actually looks like, how Aztec uses zero-knowledge proofs and its open-source language Noir to make privacy accessible to non-cryptographers, and why they chose to build as an Ethereum L2 instead of a standalone chain. We also dive into real use cases being built on Aztec today and how developers can start building privacy-preserving applications without needing a PhD in cryptography. We then break down Aztec’s groundbreaking token sale using Uniswap Labs’ Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA)—positioned as the first fair-access token distribution model. Zac and Joe walk through how the CCA works, why they opted for this over traditional airdrops or pre-sales, how per-user caps and eligibility are designed, and how they’ve even integrated zero-knowledge proofs (ZkPassport) into the sale process itself for privacy-preserving sanctions checks. If you care about privacy, compliance, and the future of Ethereum L2s, this is one you won’t want to miss. https://aztec.network https://sale.aztec.network
