Aleph Zero profile covering platform features, major milestones, funding, and team members.
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.
