Noir is an open-source, domain-specific programming language designed for building privacy-preserving applications using zero-knowledge proofs. Noir's Twitter Score is 52 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of September 2026, ranking #17,290 (top 5%) among 489,241 tracked accounts.
Noir was founded by Kevaundray Wedderburn and is affiliated with Aztec Labs. The language uses a Rust-like syntax, lowering the barrier for developers already familiar with systems programming to write zero-knowledge programs. A key design principle is that Noir is proving-backend agnostic, meaning developers can select different backends for proof generation and verification rather than being locked into a single system.
Noir works across chains for general zero-knowledge applications and serves as the native language for smart contracts on Aztec. Aztec Labs rewrote its private-execution, public-execution, and proof-recursion core circuits in Noir, announcing that integration in December 2023. While Noir is central to the Aztec stack, it is also usable outside of it for broader zero-knowledge application development.
Noir has 9,977 followers as of September 2026 on Twitter and has published 1,765 posts. The account has been mentioned by 105 accounts, with 449 total mentions.
