Private Message Delivery

Private message delivery encompasses the encryption, tagging, and broadcasting of private messages on the Aztec Network.

📄️ Private Message Delivery

In Aztec, users need to pass private information between each other. Whilst Aztec enables users to share arbitrary private messages, we'll often frame the discussion towards a sender sharing the preimage of a private note with some recipient.

📄️ Guidelines

Application contracts are in control of creating, encrypting, tagging, and broadcasting private notes to users. As such, each application is free to follow whatever scheme it prefers, choosing to override user preferences or use custom encryption and note tagging mechanisms. However, this may hinder composability, or not be compatible with existing wallet software.
