Aleph Zero

About

Aleph Zero is a Layer 1 blockchain that focuses on scalability, security, and decentralization, along with privacy for Web3 applications. The platform operates on a consensus protocol known as AlephBFT that integrates zero-knowledge proofs and secure multiparty computations for fast and secure transactions, even in enterprise-level scenarios. After its mainnet launch, it started getting attention from developers because it is built with Rust and the Substrate framework, which are flexible and easy to work with. Key Features of Aleph Zero: • • Compatible with EVM and WASM to make it simple for the Ethereum and Rust developers. • Cross-chain transactions can be done using the MOST bridge that connects to prominent blockchains. • The setup is developer-friendly since it’s built on Substrate and backed by a growing ecosystem. • Offers strong privacy features using zero-knowledge proofs and MPC technology for enterprise-level use. Aleph Zero Milestones Year Key Achievements 2018 The project started in Zug, Switzerland. Whitepaper work began, and the team secured initial $2M angel funding to begin things officially. 2019 The AlephBFT consensus paper underwent peer review and was also discussed at the AFT 2019 conference held in Zurich. 2020 The work on the DAG architecture was initiated. The project began growing in size, with additional people being welcomed to the team. 2021 Mainnet 1.0 went live in November, and the AZERO token was listed. 2022 The Foundation introduced the Ecosystem Funding Program. Native staking was launched, along with validator rewards. 2025 zkOS and the Shielder SDK were released. The EVM L2 was phased out to focus more on L1 privacy. The network also moved toward full community validator control.
