Privacy is important.

The Private Execution Environment (or PXE, pronounced 'pixie') is a client-side library for the execution of private operations. It is a TypeScript library and can be run within Node, such as when you run the sandbox. In the future it could be run inside wallet software or a browser.

When you run the sandbox, the Aztec node and PXE have their own http server. This makes it possible to run two PXEs on your local machine, which can be useful for testing that notes are accurately stored and remaining private in their respective PXEs.

The Sandbox does not have client-side proving in the PXE enabled by default. This reduces testing times and increases development speed by allowing for rapid iteration.
