Aztec announced the launch of the AZTEC token sale, with over 300,000 addresses qualifying for the whitelist

The zero-knowledge privacy technology project Aztec has announced the launch of the AZTEC token sale, with registration and bidding for early participants starting today (November 13) at 3 PM (CET). Early participants will enjoy a day of exclusive early access before bidding opens to the public. The public auction will take place from December 2 to December 6, 2025, during which the tokens will be available for withdrawal and staking.

There will be no airdrop phase for this sale, nor will there be a special allocation mechanism. Over 300,000 addresses have been whitelisted, and these addresses will be eligible for bidding on the first day. The sale is open to global users, including U.S. citizens.

Regarding the sales mechanism, the project stated that it will prioritize real-time price discovery and fair participation opportunities. The starting price is set at a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $350 million, which is approximately 75% lower than the implied network valuation based on the latest equity financing. Participants can mint soul-bound NFTs to confirm their participation status.
