Alephium is a decentralised blockchain platform focused on enhancing scalability, security, and transaction speed. It was founded by Cheng Wang and contributors, aiming to overcome the inherent limitations of existing blockchain architectures. Born out of innovation, Alephium introduces novel technologies like BlockFlow and Stateless Transaction Handling, providing efficient state sharding without sacrificing security. This allows the network to process up to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second, attracting developers and enterprises in search of high-performance solutions. Alephium uses the highly energy-efficient Proof of Less Work algorithm, reducing energy consumption while maintaining decentralisation. Its adaptive block size and state model ensure the platform is both flexible and scalable, catering to the growing demand for secure and efficient decentralised applications.
