Mission & Key Concepts
Aleo is building the world's leading developer platform for private applications. With our vocal advocacy for privacy tech in the blockchain ecosystem, we are playing a major part in mainstream awareness and industry adoption of privacy-preserving technologies. We are proud to offer a platform of services that exemplify privacy tech in web applications, increasing digital freedom and access around the world.
Current Challenges
As web applications demand greater scalability, privacy, and auditability, we at Aleo are doubling down on an ecosystem of decentralized applications powered by zero-knowledge cryptography.
Aleo will expand its products and services offerings not only for the blockchain develops of today, but also for the web developers of tomorrow. We want zero-knowledge cryptography in the hands of every user on the web. As we continue developing the Leo programming language, we are hosting developer workshops, such as Leo at ZK Hack, to educate our community on the power of zero-knowledge.
Aleo is paving the way for zero-knowledge proofs on the web and we want to welcome developers everywhere to experience the power that this technology offers.
