Shield
Shield is a privacy-preserving on-and-off-ramp between Ethereum L1 and Aztec L2. Move tokens into Aztec’s private layer while proving you’re compliant — without revealing personal information.
Audited by Nethermind Security (May 2026). The only compliant on-ramp in the Aztec ecosystem, with identity, sanctions, and PEP screening built in. Compliance is enforced cryptographically: zero-knowledge proofs at identity issuance, on-chain attestation verification at every deposit.
Live on Aztec Mainnet Alpha (v4.3). Real ZK proofs since 2026-05-29. Aztec is currently in Alpha: 1 TPS, ~6s block times, ongoing audits + bug bounty. Public launch aligned with Aztec v5.
