There's no like, no one can deploy a smart contract within as in, within se came money. So we have programmable circuits, and we've had them since we launcheda aztec tea a. Charley just had to write them. We are working on a way to kind of have general purposeprra where you don't have to beacon of working for aztec do e right circuits in aztec. And that's where con of noir fits into the puzzle. It is a dear salfor for snarks, a icallya plank base snarksand enables uto can very easily write er snark programs without having to be a chrotographer.
In this week’s episode, Anna checks in with Aztec, a ZK-based privacy L2 project. She speaks with Joe Andrews and Lead Engineer, Charles Julian. They discuss some of the team’s most important ZK research and implementations such as Plonk and how bringing privacy to Ethereum could truly change the way we do DeFi. They also discuss Aztec Connect and how it relates to zk.money, the Aztec roadmap with future projects like DSL Noir and Aztec 3, as well as a quick postmortem on the halted Aztec Connect launch.

Today’s episode is sponsored by Aleo.
Aleo is a new Layer-1 blockchain that achieves the programmability of Ethereum, the privacy of Zcash, and the scalability of a rollup. If you’re building private applications - then check out Aleo’s programming language called Leo which enables non-cryptographers to harness the power of ZKPs. Visit leo-lang.org to start building.
You can also participate in Aleo’s incentivized testnet3 by downloading and running a snarkOS node. No sign-up is necessary to participate. For questions, join their Discord at [aleo.org/discord](aleo.org/discord)
