Founders of the Foundation

In an age where privacy is no longer a luxury but a necessity, four developers with a shared vision came together to shape a new way of anonymous communication.

Despite our different backgrounds, we were united by a single goal: to build something meaningful, secure and transparent. Aztec Anonymous Messenger is not just a product, but a collaborative journey.

As a team, we believe that this kind of project is not optional, but necessary. We are extremely passionate about privacy and decentralization. This initiative does not serve any centralized institution or individual. It is being built as an open-source, community-driven platform that puts users first.

We are just the foundation builders. This project will ultimately belong to every developer who contributes and every user who benefits from it.

Jonas

Protocol Researcher

Cryptography enthusiast. Formula first, feature second.

Jonas is the mathematical core of the Aztec Anonymous Messenger team. He specializes in designing the cryptographic logic and financial flows behind systems like private staking pools, reward distribution mechanics, and zero-knowledge-based validations.

With a mind shaped by numbers and patterns, he ensures every mechanism in the protocol operates with precision and integrity. For Jonas, it’s not just about building it’s about building what's provably correct.

Claudius

Zero-Trust Operator

Backend guardian. Security obsessed. No shortcuts.

Claudius oversees the backbone of Aztec Anonymous Messenger. From data encryption layers to private message storage and protocol integrations, he’s the one ensuring the entire system runs clean, fast, and secure.

Known for his precision and paranoia (in a good way), Claudius reviews every commit like it’s a potential breach. If the frontend is the voice of the project, he’s the nervous system always alert, always tightening the bolts.

Mentis

UX Strategist

User whisperer. Interface diplomat. Voice of the frontend.

Mentis bridges the gap between users and the system. As the lead on frontend architecture and user experience, he's the one who translates real-world needs into clear design logic and makes sure they reach the team.

Whether it’s UI polish, user flow clarity, or feature prioritization, Mentis listens, filters, and advocates. In a privacy first protocol like this, he ensures anonymity doesn’t come at the cost of usability.

We're still building, and we're far from done.
