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.

Umee
Simplest way to start your DeFi experience for staking, rates, and interoperable solutions across blockchains. Umee is a layer one blockchain for cross-chain communication and interoperability, built on the Cosmos SDK and powered by Tendermint Consensus along with a self-sovereign validator network. Interoperability is achieved using Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), Gravity bridge, and decentralized infrastructure for creating a universal cross-chain DeFi hub toward expanding the crypto ecosystem. A DeFi platform designed towards integrating with money legos, that interconnects crypto markets across networks, allows for the development of open finance innovation including multi-chain staking, interchain leverage, and cross-chain interest rates. As a base layer blockchain, applications and money lego primitives can be built on top of Umee to access cross-chain leverage and liquidity.
