Alephium, an innovative layer one blockchain announces today its first official listing on the top 10 exchange Gate.io.
Gate.io first to list ALPH token
Cheng Wang, founder and core developer of Alephium, said,
“We are very happy to have partnered with Gate.io for our first listing. This is a strong vote of confidence in our tech, our team and our roadmap.”
Alephium is the first operational layer one sharded blockchain scaling and improving on Bitcoin core technologies, proof-of-work and UTXO. It delivers a highly performant, secure DeFi and DApps platform with enhanced energy efficiency.
ALPH is the native token of the Alephium blockchain. It now trades against USDT on Gate.io.
A distinctive approach to scalability
Unique among its peers, Alephium is built on the BlockFlow algorithm which improves on the UTXO model of BTC to make it scalable. It allows for up to 400 transactions per second with just 16 shards on mainnet scalable to 10,000 TPS on 1,024 shards later on.
Addressing contemporary concerns, its novel proof-of-less-work (PoLW) algorithm which combines physical work and coin economics grants much better energy efficiency than the original consensus mechanism used by Bitcoin, while retaining its decentralization and security.
A custom virtual machine (Fi-VM) leveraging the stateful UTXO model invented by Alephium, as well as its own programming language for DApps (Fi-Lang), enables developers to create powerful and efficient smart contracts while addressing DeFi security challenges.
Maud Simon, chief of staff at Alephium, said,
“Putting all these innovations together, Alephium delivers a highly demanded solution in the industry a scalable blockchain improving on mature ideas from Bitcoin and Ethereum to deliver reliable, powerful and secure DeFi and DApp capabilities.”
What’s next?
Alephium is live and fully functional since November 8, 2021. Its mainnet around which lives a thriving ecosystem of wallets, mining pools and software and explorers and DApps is maturing rapidly. The focus of the next few months will be on bridges, DeFi and NFTs primitives, while expanding its community of developers, miners and users.
