Aleph Zero’s value proposition has to do with ensuring a new generation of an all-in-one public blockchain. In addition to solving the trilemma challenges of speed, security, and decentralization, the project also enables an innovative approach to privacy by combining ZK-Proofs with Secure Multiparty Computation, and doing so in a purely software-based fashion.
As a result, the team can offer a unique solution to enterprises worldwide: a peer-reviewed, audited public network with a native privacy stack. Moreover, integration with Substrate enables wider adoption by design, as developers wouldn’t have to learn different technologies—but simply build on what they already know.
10Clouds was tasked with providing DevOps infrastructure of easy deployment to help make the platform friendly towards the developers.
Services
Aleph Zero needed to work on its infrastructure for the upcoming Mainnet launch and they didn’t have the time to wait a few months before hiring in-house team members. They needed somebody who could build an AWS infrastructure for their devnets, testnet and Mainnet.
That’s why they reached out to 10Clouds to extend their internal team. Within a week, they were joined by our team of DevOps experts, and ensured easier scalability of said team.
We were responsible for an AWS setup to run Aleph Zero’s blockchain networks with a variable number of nodes for development and production needs.
We worked closely with the team to gather their requirements and to validate their solutions.
We also prepared configuration documentation for Aleph Zero, and educated internal team members on how to use it, so that the knowledge could stay in the organization and be put to use in the future.
Antoni Zolciak, Co-Founder and COO says: "We, at Aleph Zero, are having quite an exciting run in 2021, and seeing that the year isn't through yet, we would like to share some of our plans for Q4 of this year. Before describing our plans for this time frame, it is crucial to note we see these developments as an opportunity to continue our cooperation with 10 Clouds in creating the infrastructure for further blockchain solutions.
The fourth quarter of 2021 will see us creating bridges to popular blockchains such as Kusama or Ethereum, and laying the foundations for future work on bridges to Cosmos, Binance Smart Chain, Near, and more.
We will introduce the first designs of our state-of-the-art privacy solution, Liminal, which will also serve as our private interchain bridge. Liminal is a global private state based on our take on combining secure multi-party computations (sMPC) with zero-knowledge proofs.
The fourth quarter of 2021 will also see the introduction of our smart contracts on the testnet. As we enter the first quarter of 2022, you can expect the MVP arrival of Common, our new DEX protocol, as well as further improvements deployed on the Aleph Zero network."
