Aleph Zero is an enterprise-ready, high-performance blockchain platform with a novel directed acyclic graph (DAG)-based consensus protocol that has been peer-reviewed and demonstrated at ACM conferences. To date, Aleph Zero has raised $15 million to continue development, integrate with the Substrate stack, and expand the team. In 2022, Aleph Zero plans to enable privacy-enhancing features based on secure multi-party computation research and zero-knowledge proofs.
