aelf, an AI-enhanced Layer 1 blockchain network, aims to leverage the robust C# programming language for efficiency and scalability across its sophisticated multi-layered architecture. Founded in 2017 with its global hub in Singapore, aelf is a blockchain with AI integration and modular Layer 2 ZK Rollup technology, ensuring an efficient, low-cost, and highly secure platform, that is both developer and end-user friendly.
aelf is primarily a multi-chain parallel computing blockchain network which was created to address several of the limitations of traditional blockchain systems, such as performance bottlenecks and data complexity. aelf's vision is to be a "Linux Ecosystem" equivalent for a blockchain that incorporates state-of-the-art IT design principles, which in particular allows developers to customise Chains to meet their own needs.
The story of aelf began in December 2017, when aelf's vision and plans were introduced to global investors at a Coindesk conference. aelf completed its fund-raising significantly ahead of schedule, having secured investments from notable institutions such as Arrington Capital, Draper Dragon, Galaxy Digital etc. #aelf
