Aleo is the first layer 1 blockchain in Web3 to launch decentralized private computation. Decentralized private computation (DPC) is a cryptographic primitive for smart contracts that use zero-knowledge proofs to prove transaction correctness without publicly revealing details about the user’s actions. ​This primitive was first described in a research paper titled Zexe, published in 2018 by six co-authors, four of which are our team members (including our founder Howard Wu). Five years later, this critical functionality is live on Aleo. ​Come join Howard Wu as he discusses this breakthrough in decentralized computing. With the advent of this technology, developers can now deploy applications to Aleo’s Testnet 3! ​There will be food, drinks, and some swag!
