aelf, an AI-enhanced Layer 1 blockchain network, leverages the robust C# programming language for efficiency and scalability across its sophisticated multi-layered architecture. Founded in 2017 with its global hub in Singapore, aelf is a pioneer in the industry, leading Asia in evolving blockchain with state-of-the-art AI integration and modular Layer 2 ZK Rollup technology, ensuring an efficient, low-cost, and highly secure platform that is both developer and end-user friendly. Aligned with its progressive vision, aelf is committed to fostering innovation within its ecosystem and advancing Web3 and AI technology adoption. The story of aelf began on 10 December 2017, when aelf's vision and plans were introduced to global investors at a Coindesk conference. aelf successfully completed its fund-raising significantly ahead of schedule, having secured investments from notable institutions such as Arrington Capital, Draper Dragon, Galaxy Digital etc. aelf Testnet was successfully launched in 2018, followed by another successful launch of the Mainnet in 2020. aelf is currently operated and managed by a team of highly experienced Web3 veterans led by its founder and CEO, Auric, who bring a wealth of expertise, innovation and drive to the company.

ælf是一个去中心化云计算区块链网络，具有高性能、资源隔离特性以及更完善的治理和发展结构。在ælf的网络中，节点根据类型进行划分，专业化记账节点（全节点）能够运行在服务器集群之上，提高整个区块链网络性能；“主链+多侧链”结构，有效实现资源隔离、“一链一场景”；设立代币持有人的委托票选制度，保障网络高效治理及良性发展。

ELF主要用于ælf的付费资源支付及治理决策，其中付费资源包括智能合约部署、升级及执行等操作(如交易手续费、跨链数据传输手续费等)，治理决策包括记账节点的选举、系统新特性的审批及产品重大更新的决策。

一、项目技术应用

 

1、提高系统性能
ælf采用DPOS共识机制，使用少量的节点并行处理，加快区块验证和交易打包的速度，其次，当一条链变得太复杂而不能被有效处理之后，就会被分成几条并行的链来分流；另外，ælf将定义并触发系统快照的机制，到达特定的周期后，对当前的数据进行一次快照，然后丢弃掉快照前的详细交易数据，来减轻系统的膨胀问题。

2、提供联盟链模板
ælf提供了一个类似于云服务的模式，用户能基于联盟链模板，快速创建一条独立的链，独占地处理自己的业务。

3、主链+多侧链结构
ælf是一个“分支生态系统”，主链作为整个系统的主干索引多条侧链。ælf的侧链包含系统内置的侧链和其他基于ælf OS内核创建的侧链，主链通过动态索引实现与侧链的交互。

4、实现跨链交互
ælf与比特币、以太坊等主流链的跨链交互会通过消息实现，并且基于跨链交互还会形成一种天然的多级跨链结构，从而可以共享数字资产、用户和信息。

5、侧链动态索引
ælf是一个动态的系统，链与链之间通过主链的Merkle Tree以及外部消息的输入验证来交互。
