Aleo

The Aleo Network allows unaffiliated nodes — individual computers, phones, and other devices — to work together to update a ledger. This ledger is used to maintain records: encrypted data owned by end-users, and mappings, public shared data owned by programs. That makes it very similar to other widely used and provably secure blockchain ledgers, like Ethereum, but with one important additional safety mechanism: Aleo is purpose-built so that developers can do all of this without needing to publish all of their users’ data.

Aleo Testnet III is an experimental network for developers to begin building and testing applications on Aleo. Testnet III is used by the core team for designing and evaluating new programs, planning and staging network upgrades, and running experimental features for inclusion on mainnet.
