Simply Explained: Aleph Zero (AZERO)
Aleph Zero is a privacy-enhancing blockchain aiming to ensure “scalability, low transaction fees, and maximum security guarantees for developers.” The first version of Aleph Zero’s mainnet went live on November 10, 2021.
Let’s dive in!
What is Aleph Zero?
Layer 1Aleph Zero is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain. Layer 1 refers to a simple base blockchain network like Ethereum and Solana. They’re called Layer 1s as they are the core networks within their ecosystem on which decentralised applications (DApps) can be built.
Decentralisation
The Aleph Zero platform is built on a custom algorithm powered by what’s known as Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology to create a decentralised system.
According to its website, “Aleph Zero represents our vision for decentralized technology at the protocol level and will introduce a more pragmatic future for businesses and technology-seeking methods for exchanging large amounts of data with fast confirmations.“
Security, privacy and scalability
Aleph Zero uses both zero-knowledge (ZK) and multi-party computation (sMPC) technology.
Zero-knowledge technology adds both privacy and scalability to blockchains. It’s a type of cryptography that allows something to be proven without actually revealing the information that proves it. Learn more here.
Multi-party computation ensures the security and privacy of data through multiple computers which can’t access information without unanimous consensus.
Azero ecosystem
Aleph Zero’s goal is to provide a scalable and secure platform on which decentralised applications can be built.The platform features integration with the Substrate stack (a software development framework to build blockchain technology).
It aims to drive Web3 adoption by bridging “the gap between scalability, security, developer friendliness, and cost of use.”
According to Aleph Zero, “the technology was built with customizable business solutions in mind that interact with other parties… businesses can interact with each other in a trustless manner efficiently and cheaply while still maintaining their own private network.”
Following its mainnet launch, Aleph Zero has seen significant adoption by developers. Its partners and developers include MetaMask, KuCoin, and Gate.io.

AZERO
AZERO is Aleph Zero’s native coin. It's used to secure the network through staking, pay transaction fees, and vote in governance.The token’s total supply is 300M, and its distribution is as follows:
- Team: 10%
- Foundation: 23%
- Pre-seed: 17%
- Seed: 17%
- Public presale: 18%
- Early community: 5%
- Public: 10%
Staking
Aleph Zero is a proof of stake (PoS) blockchain. So, it uses a staking mechanism to secure the platform.Staking involves temporarily locking AZERO tokens. Both validators and nominators are rewarded in proportion to their stake:
- Validators run Aleph Zero nodes, process transactions, and validate blocks to help secure the network. Validators need to stake at least 25,000 AZERO and have a specified technical set-up. Read more here.
- Nominators don’t run nodes but still contribute to Aleph Zero’s security and earn staking rewards by using their stake to nominate validators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
