According to TechFlow TechFlow, on February 5th, jaosef.eth, co-founder of Aztec, announced that AZTEC tokens will be available for transfer at 7:00 AM UTC on February 12th, 2026. Last week, the AZTEC community, with over 4,500 sorters participating, approved the Token Generation Event (TGE). At that time, tokens obtained through CCA auctions, Uniswap V4 liquidity pools, and block rewards will be freely transferable.
jaosef.eth stated that the AZTEC Foundation's choice to conduct a public sale denominated in ETH reflects its long-term strategic alliance with Ethereum. The initial token price was determined through auction at 1 AZTEC = 0.00001551 ETH. AZTEC is positioned as Ethereum's privacy layer; its tokens, staking, and governance are all deployed on the Ethereum mainnet, and each AZTEC block is consumed at Layer 1.
