What is Aztec?
Aztec is a privacy-focused layer-2 network for Ethereum. It uses zero-knowledge proofs so that smart contracts can keep balances and transaction details private while still settling on Ethereum. The AZTEC token is used for staking by the sequencers and provers that run the network, and for governance of the protocol.
The AZTEC perpetual tracks the price of Aztec, settles in USDC and never expires. It trades on Hyperliquid's main exchange. You can go long or short with up to 3× leverage, around the clock.

Size a AZTEC trade from its stop
Hypurr Desk asks where your stop goes and how much of your account you are willing to lose there, then works out the size. An example at 0.014775, from when this page was built:
- Account
- $1,000.00
- Risk
- 1% = $10.00
- Stop
- 2% below entry, at 0.014480
- Size
- 31448 AZTEC ($464.71)
- Loss at the stop, fees included
- $10.00
- Leverage
- 3× cross, $154.90 margin
The stop sets the loss, not the leverage: leverage only decides how much margin the position ties up. Move the stop and the size follows, so a wider stop means a smaller position and the same loss. The stop is placed on the exchange with the entry. How risk sizing works.
