Azetc Network is a solution focused on Ethereum's second-layer privacy. Azetc Network uses zero-knowledge proof technology zkSNARK to ensure privacy and scalability on the chain.

Azetc Network has received three rounds of financing, the details are as follows:

On December 16, 2021, it received a round A financing of 17 million, led by Paradigm, with participation from IOSGVentures, Variant Fund, Nascent, imToken, Scalar Capital, Defi Alliance, ZK Validator, and angel investors Anthony Sassano, Stani KulecFhov, Bankless, Defi Dad, Mariano Conti, and Vitalik Buterin

On September 15, 2019, it received a round of financing. The specific information of this financing was not disclosed. The investment institutions included Libertus Capital, Coinbase Ventures, etc.

On November 30, 2018, it received US$2.1 million in seed round financing. ConsenSys, Entrepreneur First, and Samos Investments participated in this round of investment.

From a time perspective, Azetc Network is a relatively old project, because most of the projects launched in 2018 issued tokens between 20 and 2022, while Azetc Network has not issued any tokens yet. At the same time, the total amount of financing has reached about 20 million. Vitalik Buterin also participated in the project. Whether from the perspective of financing scale or financing institutions, the project is basically impeccable, so it is also worthy of everyone's attention and ambush.

Badge Mission Introduction

zk.money is an application launched by Azetc Network. Users can use zk.money to conduct transactions and transfers, and the handling fee is also very low. The official has previously said in Discord that there are no airdrops or incentive activities, but we also found that the official is currently cooperating with sismo, and users can get corresponding badges by experiencing zk.money. By making an overall inference on the project, we believe that this badge may be worth ambush.

We click on sismo's task page and open Azetc Network's task

https://playground.sismo.io/aztec-connect-depositors

The first login requires signing and creating a vault. We just need to sign according to the prompts.

The official requirements for the badge are as follows:

The V1 deposit was 0.1 eth, which has now ended. Now is the V2 period, which requires a total of three deposits of 0.1 ETH. DAI deposits are not supported.

The official has made it clear that the badge has been modified (probably because too many people were brushing it), and now there will be stricter requirements. It can be seen that the official still attaches great importance to this badge. Therefore, for us, this badge will definitely play a very important role in the future, so it is also worth participating.

According to dune, nearly 60,000 people have reached V2 status.

How to participate

We open the zk.money website and click shield now

Then log in with your wallet, follow the prompts to sign the message step by step, and finally copy the information to the clipboard and save it.

Next we choose an alias, register, and deposit

Then just register, and after registration you can continue to deposit until you meet the requirements.

Of course, to be on the safe side, you can also deposit ETH in the earn section to lock your position, which is also a form of interaction.

currently existing problems

Although the Azetc Network project is quite good overall, users who want to complete the badge task need to pay attention to the following issues:

1. The official attaches great importance to badge brushing

As mentioned before, the official is quite strict about badge brushing, so it is difficult for those who want to brush accounts in large quantities. Some people also say that the official will judge witches, so protective measures need to be taken. Of course, the tokens consumed in the whole process (that is, the cost) will not be very high, so if you have the conditions, you can brush several accounts, such as using old accounts to brush, and the new wallet may be judged as a small account, etc.

2. Problems with function usage

In the official Discord, many users have reported that they cannot find or see the records of their coins after depositing them, or that the coins cannot be withdrawn, or that the waiting time is long. Relatively many users have reported such problems. Therefore, for users who intend to participate, it is best to use one browser and one wallet. Do not switch wallet accounts at will. At the same time, try with a small amount first. When you are sure that it is correct, you can slowly increase the number of accounts. If problems such as recharge or withdrawal occur, it is currently more troublesome to solve them. Because many people have reported such problems, do not transfer too much funds to a single wallet at the beginning.

At the same time, this also shows that the project is still in a period of product instability, and users will have the opportunity to continue to participate in the future.
