🟢Aztec Network is a protocol for anonymous transactions. Its zkMoney application is a layer 2 network designed to provide privacy for transactions on Ethereum. Aztek Connect is the bridge for this network.
💼The project has raised $119 million, with investors including Paradigm, ConsenSys, a16z, HashKey, Fenbushi, Variant, and others.
🔎What to do?
➡️Go to the website, click Shield now, and connect your wallet.
➡️Specify any name for your wallet, choose Default (2-4 hours) transaction type, and sign it.
➡️Then click Shield More and deposit funds to your wallet. You need to make 3 transactions to have a total of more than 0.1 ETH.
➡️If you have already made a deposit in ETH, transfer a sufficient sum to DAI.
➡️Click Earn and deposit $1 into 3+ pools: AAVE, LIDO, and Yearn (on the Zk network). This step is not mandatory, but desirable. (You can also deposit in DAI.)
➡️After that, go to Sismo, claim the NFT badge, then click Use badge and enter the verification process. Then go to the verify-badge channel, click Let's go, connect your wallet, and you will receive the Aztec Badge Verified role on Discord.
➡️All badge owners have full access to the zkPay platform.
➡️Test all the functions and leave feedback in Discord.
➡️Check and claim your role in Guild.
➡️Withdraw your funds back to your wallet, click Wallet > Send, choose the L1 network, enter your Metamask address, and confirm.
🟢ZkPay is the Aztec wallet that allows instant withdrawal of funds from the Aztec network. They also added L2 swaps. The project's mission is to expand the use of Aztec and increase its user base. They position themselves as one of the dapps deployed on Aztec, and they closely collaborate with the Aztec team.
UPD. ZkPay is followed on Twitter by Aztec themselves, CEO Zac Williamson, and lead developers. ZkPay is a participant in the top DEV conference ETHDenver2023 and even if they don't get a project drop from Aztec, there is a high probability that they will have their own token.
🤔ZkPay now has quests.
➡️New quests from ZkPay are already available on their platform, not on zk.money (but there are integrations).
➡️A new badge from ZkPay is available on Sismo.
P.S Decide for yourself whether or not to do ZkPay quests.
