About Aleph Zero
Privacy-enhancing public blockchain with instant finality. Aleph Zero is built for enterprise, Web 3.0, and DeFi use-cases. Aleph Zero is a proof-of-stake public blockchain. We combined an original, aBFT consensus protocol with a customized substrate stack. Currently, we’re working on enhancing the platform with a privacy framework based on Zero-knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and secure Multi-Party Computation (sMPC) to empower developers with a unique approach to private smart contracts. During a laboratory test, Aleph Zero’s peer-reviewed consensus protocol (AlephBFT) achieved 89,600 tx/s with a 416 ms confirmation time in a decentralized test setting of 112 AWS nodes spread across five continents. Aleph Zero’s real-world performance, especially under heavy l network load, is yet to be determined. The Aleph Zero Consensus Protocol has been officially peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in the conference proceedings of advances in financial technology 2019.
