Description

Aleo is a platform designed for building cryptographically secure decentralized applications (dApps) at scale, centered around zero-knowledge (ZK) technology. It aims to provide decentralization, scalability, and security without compromise. Aleo's purpose-built ZK architecture allows developers to utilize zero-knowledge proofs in their applications without needing deep expertise in cryptography. Key components include Leo, a Rust-based Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that simplifies the creation of private applications, and snarkVM, which handles computation off-chain to enhance scalability and offers unlimited application runtime by moving away from a gas-reliant execution model. The platform also features snarkOS, which establishes a decentralized ecosystem for transaction verification and state storage. This architecture enhances data security by allowing users to share zero-knowledge proofs instead of sensitive personal information.
