Aleph Zero
Aleph Zero is a privacy-focused public blockchain designed for enterprise, Web 3.0, and DeFi applications, featuring instant transaction finality. This blockchain utilizes a proof-of-stake mechanism and integrates a unique aBFT consensus protocol along with a tailored substrate stack. Currently, the team is enhancing the platform by incorporating a privacy framework that leverages Zero-knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and secure Multi-Party Computation (sMPC), providing developers with an innovative method for creating private smart contracts. In a laboratory environment, Aleph Zero's peer-reviewed consensus protocol, known as AlephBFT, demonstrated impressive metrics, achieving 89,600 transactions per second with a confirmation time of just 416 milliseconds across a decentralized setup involving 112 AWS nodes distributed globally. However, the actual performance of Aleph Zero in real-world scenarios, especially under substantial network traffic, remains to be fully assessed. Notably, the Aleph Zero Consensus Protocol has undergone rigorous peer review and has been officially accepted for publication in the proceedings of the Advances in Financial Technology conference held in 2019, marking a significant milestone in its development journey. The ongoing enhancements aim to solidify Aleph Zero's position as a leader in blockchain privacy solutions.
