Imagine a world of truly private applications. Aleo is building the world's leading developer platform for enabling absolute privacy on blockchains. Aleo enables engineering teams to build web applications that are performant, secure, and anonymous. With our vocal advocacy for privacy tech in the blockchain ecosystem, we are playing a major part in mainstream awareness and industry adoption of privacy-preserving technologies. Aleo introduces an application runtime environment that allows your software to compile, execute, and finalize its state autonomously. We are proud to offer a platform of services that exemplify privacy.

Platform

Zero-knowledge execution, also referred to as Zexe, is Aleo’s smart contracts-compatible evolution of ZKPs. Zeke will see users execute off-chain transactions that come with on-chain cryptographic proofs. Aleo’s privacy chops utilize the privacy technology underpinning Zcash.

Transactions on Aleo are processed off-chain and solely verified by the network nodes. This setup enables the platform to be able to support various transaction volumes and allows developers to create decentralized applications that seek to address complicated use cases.

Aleo is a developer platform for building fully private, scalable and cost-effective applications. Using zero-knowledge cryptography, Aleo moves smart contract execution off-chain to enable a diverse range of decentralized applications that are both entirely private and can scale to thousands of transactions per second. Built on an open, public blockchain, Aleo brings the flexibility of Ethereum but with a more scalable architecture in which miners don’t need to re-run every transaction, but simply verify their correctness.
