- Portal contracts - portal contracts enable L1<>L2 communication
- Defi Wonderland Aztec standards - Aztec Standards is a compilation of reusable, standardized contracts for the Aztec Network.
- Token standard - The Token contract implements an ERC-20-like token with Aztec-specific privacy extensions.
- Calling public function from private functions - private functions cannot directly manipulate public state, they can by staging a call to a public function that updates public state.
- You can also use this pattern to "pass" public inputs into private state by passing the input as an argument to a private function, staging a public function call that validates the input against the current public state.
