Network Architecture
The Aztec network operates through coordinated interaction between different node types. Together, they process transactions, produce blocks, and generate proofs.
How Nodes Work Together
- Transaction Flow: Users submit transactions to full nodes, which validate and propagate them through the P2P network
- Block Production: Sequencer nodes collect transactions from the mempool, order them, and propose new blocks
- Consensus: The sequencer committee validates proposed blocks and provides attestations
- Proof Generation: Prover nodes generate cryptographic proofs for epochs of blocks
- L1 Submission: Sequencers submit attested blocks and provers submit epoch proofs to Ethereum
