Alephiumis a scalable, secure, and energy-efficient blockchain designed for real-world applications. It introducesBlockFlow, a sharding algorithm that enhances Bitcoin’s UTXO model, achieving scalability with up to 10,000 transactions per second (currently over 400 TPS). Itsstateful UTXO modelcombines Ethereum-like programmability with Bitcoin-level security.

Powered byProof of Less Work (PoLW), Alephium reduces energy usage to 1/8 of Bitcoin’s, ensuring sustainability. It features theAlphred virtual machinefor secure and efficient dApps andRalph, a Rust-inspired programming language optimized for DeFi.

Alephium bridges scalability, security, and energy efficiency to deliver next-generation decentralized applications.
