What is Aleo?
Aleo, a layer-1 blockchain, merges the power of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography with programmable smart contracts to establish a resilient framework for secure online transactions. This unique fusion empowers developers to create applications that focus on preserving user data privacy.

FAQ
What is ALEO?
ALEO tokens are vital to the network’s operations. They pay for services, compensate validators and provers for their efforts, and ensure a secure, decentralized network.
Uses of Aleo tokens:
Access: Aleo tokens let you use blockspace and computational resources.
Incentives: Validators and provers get Aleo tokens for securing the network.
Staking: You can stake tokens to help the network and earn rewards.
Governance: Token holders can vote on protocol upgrades and changes.
Aleo Tokenomics
Aleo issues ALEO tokens to provers for generating zero-knowledge proofs and to validators for securing the network. Rewards are added every block — provers earn through Coinbase Puzzles, while validators receive a fixed 23 ALEO block reward. Coinbase rewards decrease by 10% annually until year 9, then stabilize. The circulating supply reaches ~2.6 B tokens in 10 years and doubles in ~21 years, as inflation gradually drops from 12% to 2%, approaching 0% over time.
Control over User's Funds
Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.
