What Is Aleph Cloud (ALEPH)?​

Aleph Cloud is an open-source, crosschain network that provides decentralized databases, including database storage, computing resources, AI and a decentralized identity (DID) framework. The core mission of Aleph Cloud is to help decentralized applications and protocols eliminate centralized components from their stack, enabling a fully decentralized architecture. You can think of Aleph Cloud as a decentralized alternative to AWS or Firebase. It is particularly focused on supercharging the DeFi ecosystem.

What makes Aleph Cloud unique?​

Aleph Cloud is a unique blend of onchain and offchain decentralized technologies. Its decentralized network is offchain but can only be interacted with through blockchain networks. This enables key features such as security and advanced crypto-economics.

Aleph Cloud is already compatible with many leading blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Base, and BNB Chain. This compatibility allows projects building on these platforms to seamlessly integrate with our decentralized database and file storage solutions.

Additionally, Aleph Cloud features a channel mechanism that enables sharding, subnetworks that retain all the core functionalities of the Aleph Cloud network. These shards can be thought of as dedicated cloud clusters, providing scalability and customization for specific use cases.

How data is managed?​

With Aleph Cloud, data is private and encrypted by default, with the flexibility to make it public when needed. It is stored on the minimum number of nodes required, optimizing both efficiency and security. You also have the option to store data on nodes located in specific geographic regions, offering enhanced control over data sovereignty and regulatory compliance.

Aleph Cloud is fully compatible with IPFS, allowing data to be replicated across both Aleph Cloud nodes and the IPFS network—ensuring greater redundancy, availability, and decentralization.

What tools does Aleph Cloud provide for buidlers?​

• SDK Javascript and Python client libraries.
• Network explorer Explorer
• Token Swap to swap your ALEPH tokens between BNB Chain, Avalanche, Base and Ethereum.

What is the utility of ALEPH token?​

• Staking Token - collateral used to secure the network
• Reward Token - for staking and/or running nodes, for providing cloud services
• Payment Token - pay for storage, computings and synchronization services

Onchain transaction fees are free for end users as long as web dApp teams cover the costs, similar to the Web2 model, where application owners pay cloud providers like AWS. Transactions are batched on-chain, keeping fees minimal and predictable.​

Aleph Cloud also supports delegated transactions, which are managed by the network itself. This means users don’t need to worry about manually resubmitting transactions or adjusting fees, the process is streamlined for a seamless user experience.
