The Aleph Zero Blog: Your Source of Information For All Things Aleph Zero

We have created a new consensus protocol. It is powering what’s known as a blockchain Layer 1, or an infrastructure layer. And every time we talk with someone about Aleph Zero, one question is inevitable: why bother building a new platform?  Why, on earth, would you reinvent the wheel? These are important questions, and we

Have you heard about DAG protocols? Some say that they are the next level for blockchain. But what are they and what's so different about them?

It’s been over a year since we started working on Aleph Zero. Our goal is to create a secure, scalable, decentralized Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) where free value transfers are achievable. We had a theory, and we had the mathematical proofs, but we also desired to confirm it in practice. We built a Python prototype that is: —Scalable:

Chen begins with the story of blockchain’s origins. The mysterious

Just a couple of days ago we shared the news about our new protocol technical paper being peer-reviewed. Today, our awesome research team — Adam Gagol, Damian Lesniak, Damian Straszak, and Michal Swietek—published it on arXiv. Go ahead, check it out here! Here’s the abstract: The spectacular success of Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology in recent years

An Overview of Blockchain Projects Within the Automotive Industry The automotive industry is already exploring the blockchain space.According to Deloitte’s 2018 global blockchain survey, 73% of respondents think that DLT will disrupt the automotive industry. This statement makes this particular industry the most open to this new technology. The hope is to bring back more clarity

UPDATE: THE WHITEPAPER IS ONLINE HERE. Aleph protocol has been peer-reviewed and selected for publication in the proceedings of the Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT). It’s one of the top academic conferences in the distributed ledger space. Long story short — we’ve always recognized that our tech is awesome and now other people think so as well! Out

Whenever voting is involved, one question is ubiquitous: how can we tell if the results have not been skewed due to bribing the voters? Democracy is a system where people vote for solving issues or to make governance decisions. In the simplest cases the majority wins, which has its own problems as we will describe
