Aleph Zero at the Forefront of a DeFi Revolution

Aleph Zero plans to deploy the funding received in the strategic investment to expand efforts in the DLT’s ecosystem development and marketing, alongside a boost to the progressive team of blockchain visionaries driving forward the project’s roadmap. 

 

Substantial progress has already been made since the closure of the initial funding rounds, in just three months Aleph Zero has managed to engage a total of 30 staff on a full-time basis – including 20 software developers. The investment has also enabled Aleph Zero to bring in the expertise of more than 20 project consultants and advisors. 

 

Part of the strategic investment is focused on bringing awareness to the important transition into fast, low-cost, privacy-enhancing, and highly scalable blockchains that have the capacity to meet the demands of enterprise. RR² will contribute towards Aleph Zero’s community building and brand awareness, a fundamental area of strength for the venture capital firm which boasts an impressive community of over 320,000+ members. 

 

Explaining the ethos behind the decision to back the sophisticated blockchain venture, Richard Seiler, Partner at RR² Capital commented: 

 

“Firstly, our interest in DAG-based chains, Aleph Zero has designed an incredible piece of technology and we wanted to be a part of this development. Our fund mission statement says we invest in teams and projects who are developing innovative and disruptive technologies. This could not be more true than with the Aleph Zero team.” 

 

Speaking about the collaboration with RR² Capital, Aleph Zero’s Co-Founder, Antoni Zolciak added:

About Aleph Zero

Aleph Zero is a privacy-focused, DAG-based layer 1 protocol, designed to provide a solution to the ‘blockchain trilemma’, a protocol level issue with blockchain technology that forces blockchain-based protocols to trade off between decentralization, scalability and security. By utilizing DAG as an intermediate data structure, Aleph Zero managed to achieve instant transaction finality, yet still produce blockchain as a result.

 

Powered by a novel consensus protocol presented at the Advances in Financial Technology conference in 2019, Aleph Zero upgrades current decentralized ledger technology to provide near-zero fees, privacy and the potential for infinite scalability, as well as true decentralization. The team behind Aleph Zero’s core development, Cardinal Cryptography, also secured a Web3 Foundation grant for development of Substrate randomness beacon.

 

The Aleph Zero team’s mission is to enable access to a world-class decentralized infrastructure by bringing transparency and privacy to individuals and institutions whenever they seek to directly exchange value with one another.

 

Alpha Zero is currently in phase 3 of their ambitious roadmap, which include the implementation of native tokens transfers on its mainnet, the introduction of smart contracts and the integration of commonly-used programming language Rust.
