*What is Alephium?*
Alephium is a pioneer PoW L1 that scales security & programmability without sacrificing decentralization to expand the possibilities for tokens, smart contracts and dApps. Those properties, as well as a loyal and engaged community have produced a vibrant and quickly expanding ecosystem of DApps, services, tools & builders.
*Why is Alephium special?*
Alephium’s approach offers a balanced solution to the blockchain trilemma: strong security, good scalability and serious decentralization.
*Smart contracts & dApps security*
Alephium uses a novel stateful UTXO accounting model in combination with a new Virtual Machine (Alphred) and a programming language (Ralph) to eliminate most of the smart contract attack vectors (reentrancy attack, unlimited authorization, double dip issue, flash loan, etc.), creating a safer environment for developers and users alike. That means more resilient dApps, smart contracts, and tokens to build an Ecosystem and more security for our users when handling their assets.
*Scalability*
Alephium has built a sharding algorithm called BlockFlow that enables Alephium to natively support more than 10,000 TPS on layer1 while preserving a seamless “single-chain” user experience. There is no need to pay high gas fees to move your assets around and you don’t experience network congestion when in a hurry.
*Decentralization & energy consumption*
Alephium’s Proof of Less Work is a consensus mechanism that reduces energy consumption by over 87% compared to the “classic” Proof Of Work. Alephium’s blockchain is built with lightweightness in mind. Anyone can run a full node and verify on-chain data, embodying the principle of ‘Don’t trust, verify’.
Putting all these innovations together, Alephium delivers a highly demanded solution in the industry: a scalable blockchain improving on mature ideas from Bitcoin and Ethereum to deliver reliable, powerful tools to build and secure DeFi and dApps. And we’re live!
