ALEPH ZERO

Team:  Based in Zug, Switzerland (Crypto Valley), the Foundation comprises approximately 20 team members, many of whom have brilliant academic success stories. Matthew Niemerg (CEO) is a Simons-Berkeley Fellow and an IBM Center of Excellence Fellow in High-Performance Computing with comprehensive DLT experience. The research and development team behind the technology is Cardinal Cryptography–based in Krakow, Poland.

Tokenomics: The total raise is significant at $13.6m. Token sale prices for various rounds seem fair however a majority of pre-seed and seed coins will unlock at the TGE (50% & 70%).

Roadmap: The ambitious roadmap goes out to Q1 2022, and includes Dex & Stablecoin Economy (Q1 2021), Trustless custody bridge (Q2 2021), MPC integration with smart contracts (Q3 2021), and Multiparty Computation Proof of concept (Q1 2022).

Conclusion: Since the project is a Layer-1 protocol, it may not have access to immediate liquidity from DEXs on existing projects (e.g. Uniswap). However, CEXs are now more familiar with listing DAG projects, and it seems likely it would end up being tradeable on other chains as a wrapped asset. We can only describe Aleph Zero as a complete blockchain ecosystem and look forward to seeing how they progress.
