Aleo’s L1 creates a new ecosystem for secure and programmable applications that allow users a new level of control over their data
Today, the Aleo Network Foundation officially announced the launch of the Aleo Network, a layer-1 blockchain that combines general-purpose programmability with the power of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). The network enables the next generation of decentralized apps that provide data confidentiality to users and scale to enterprises.
Mainnet marks a critical turning point for zero-knowledge technology. For the first time ever, developers can deploy and execute applications on a layer-1 blockchain that is zero-knowledge by default. ZKPs are used to prove knowledge about a specific set of data, without having to reveal the data itself. This gives developers a platform for building private-by-default, cost-effective decentralized applications and makes new use cases in identity, finance, and gaming feasible at scale.
Starting now, developers can build applications that allow users to safely provide the information necessary to access online services while keeping enterprises from bearing the risk of maintaining and securing that data.
Developers benefit from a network that provides:
- High scalability through off-chain execution with ZK proofs, reducing computation and speeding up transactions.
- True decentralization thanks to a diverse, intentionally planned network of validators, ensuring stability, resilience, and inclusive governance.
- Unlimited runtime through off-chain execution, eliminating gas fees common to other blockchains.
- A full-stack development experience that makes it easy for developers to build ZK dApps by handling the complex cryptography.
This launch marks a significant milestone following the successful validation of Testnet Beta, where the network was thoroughly tested across diverse environments. The Foundation enhanced the network’s security by addressing findings from audits by three independent firms and resolving issues identified through bug bounty programs.
“The launch of Aleo’s mainnet marks a milestone in our mission to empower users to secure their personal information. This is not just a technological advancement; it’s a fundamental shift in how users interact with their data online,” said Alex Pruden, Executive Director of the Aleo Network Foundation. “Now, users can securely share only the personal information relevant to a specific inquiry, such as their exact age or credit score, without needing to reveal the entire contents of personal documents like birth certificates, financial data, health records, and more. Products like our in-house identity solution ZPass demonstrate the potential of an internet where users, not platforms, control the data they see and share.”
“At Variant, our guiding thesis for infrastructure investing is expanding the design space of what’s possible for applications. The unlocks of decentralized, privacy-preserving computing can’t be understated — imagine truly secure and private applications that protect user data,” said Jesse Walden, Founder and Managing Partner at Variant. “Aleo is a pioneer in private compute, and we could not be more excited to continue supporting the network.”
There is already a robust ecosystem of partners building real-world use cases on the network. Venture capital firm Electric Capital ranked Aleo as one of the top five fastest-growing ecosystems by overall developers, with an overall growth of 167%, and to date, there are 330+ active projects covering applications like DeFi, tooling and infrastructure, identity, and gaming.
“Enabling safe online spaces that uphold and protect children has been at the heart of our work at Bandio since the project’s inception. The support and collaboration we have had from Aleo throughout our entire life cycle has been invaluable,” said Lynzi Ziegenhagen, CEO of Bandio, a digital age assurance tool built on Aleo in partnership with Common Sense Media. “To see the mainnet launch as the culmination of this team’s hard work and dedication is truly exciting.”
The launch of the Aleo Network arrives at a time when the demand for secure digital solutions is at an all-time high. Without security, web3 risks remaining a digital casino, lacking the trust and utility needed for broader adoption. Aleo’s approach ensures that privacy is not an afterthought but a foundational element, essential for the evolution of meaningful and secure digital interactions.
Aleo Selects Coinbase For Day One Support
Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency companies in the world widely known for pioneering innovation in the digital asset space, is providing Aleo with day-one support across three key areas: custody, staking, and learning rewards.
- Coinbase Prime is a leading institutional prime broker platform for crypto assets, trusted by some of the largest institutional clients in the world. Institutional investors can securely custody the native Aleo token with Prime.
- Staking: Coinbase will serve as one of the initial validators for the Aleo network, bringing its best-in-class staking services to support the ecosystem. By leveraging Coinbase’s extensive experience in the proof-of-stake ecosystem and its track record of supporting staking innovation, this relationship will enhance Aleo network’s infrastructure and deliver reliable, secure staking services to its participants.
- Coinbase Learning Rewards offers developers and users the opportunity to get rewarded for learning about the unique benefits of the Aleo Network. Quests challenge users through onchain tasks to help them earn rewards and familiarize themselves with key partners like Demox Labs, Puzzle, Apybara, Arcane Finance, and Aleo Name Service.
This announcement underscores Aleo’s commitment to building a robust and secure network from the outset.
“Aleo’s decision to select Coinbase for day one support is another signal to the market that users want autonomy in their experiences, and for some, that means backing technologies that prioritize privacy,” said Lewis Han, Head of Developer Sales at Coinbase. “ We are excited to support Aleo’s mainnet launch by integrating our staking services in the genesis set of validators, helping to build a more secure and user-centric onchain ecosystem.”
The launch of Aleo’s mainnet breathes life into the need for a more secure internet, where user data privacy takes precedence. As the Aleo ecosystem continues to build, zero-knowledge will finally find its footing in the mainstream. To learn more about Aleo, please visit www.aleo.org.

Parachains and developers can register now to test NFT XCM functionality and get an exclusive first look at this innovation in action.
Unique Network has announced it will be launching the first developer environment for NFT XCM transfers (Cross-Chain NFTs), starting with two major networks for developers and parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem. Using NFT XCM’s technology at the start of the developer environment, blockchain developers can move NFTs between Asset Hub, and Unique Network. Interested parachains can be added to the developer environment to develop NFT XCM functionality.
What is NFT XCM?
NFT XCM is a groundbreaking initiative developed by Unique Network, designed to simplify the transfer of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) across parachains. By enabling seamless movement between different chains, NFT XCM is not just expanding accessibility but also unlocking new possibilities for creators, developers, and users alike.
NFT XCM extends the limits of Web3 games and NFT collections, supporting greater use cases and making non-fungible tokens available to a larger group of on-chain users. Unique Network invites parachains, and developers to register their interest in the upcoming testing phase of NFT XCM transfers, to demonstrate its efficacy and explore applications for the technology.
NFT XCM utilizes Polkadot’s Cross-Chain Messaging, the messaging format and language used to communicate between consensus systems.
Developers and parachains interested in testing NFT XCM transfers are encouraged to register their interest via this form. Polkadot parachains will be added to the developer environment to develop and test NFT XCM functionality. EVM teams interested in pioneering EVM implementations of the technology in a development/test environment are also invited to register their interest.
Following the development work of NFT XCM, the Unique Network team unveiled the Cross-Chain NFTs Think Tank earlier this year at Polkadot’s Sub0 conference. This initiative is designed to foster collaboration, drive innovation, and explore new use cases for Cross-Chain NFTs within the Polkadot ecosystem. Leading projects, such as Acala Network and Zeitgeist, are already exploring ways to integrate Cross-Chain NFTs into their own projects.
Alexander Mitrovich, CEO of Unique Network shared:
This milestone represents not just technical progress but the unification of an ecosystem. NFTs are no longer confined to one parachain; we’re building a future where they can flow freely across multiple chains.”
The importance of cross-chain interoperability for assets such as NFTs was first highlighted in the Polkadot Whitepaper by Polkadot creator, Gavin Wood. The launch of XCM v3 in May of 2022 introduced this capability but was only viable for Fungible Tokens (FTs). NFT XCM is a breakthrough that will enable users to seamlessly transfer digital assets between Polkadot parachains, making NFTs more accessible and versatile than ever.
Following this, Chief Marketing Officer at Unique Network, Charu Sethi discussed the company’s efforts to foster collaboration and streamline the NFT ecosystem across Polkadot’s various blockchain networks.
As we advance NFT XCM technical capabilities, it’s critical to address the complexity and fragmentation within the ecosystem. We are now working on organizational bridges and aligning leadership across all NFT blockchains in Polkadot.
About Unique Network
Unique Network is the first NFT chain built on Polkadot and Kusama, offering the most sustainable and green NFTs with advanced features for gaming, art, and fan engagement.

- tBTC on EigenLayer offers users new restaking opportunities to earn rewards as Bitcoin demand outpaces other crypto markets
- EigenLayer’s adoption of tBTC spotlights tBTC’s role as one of the most decentralized assets for securely growing the BitcoinFi ecosystem
Threshold Network, the DAO behind tBTC, the first decentralized asset bridging Bitcoin and Ethereum, announced that EigenLayer, the restaking protocol built by Eigen Labs, has officially started accepting tBTC deposits, making tBTC the first incentivized bitcoin asset on EigenLayer.
Threshold’s integration with EigenLayer underscores the BitcoinFi community’s outpaced demand for staked Bitcoin—a major shift towards maximizing the full earning power of Bitcoin for users,” commented MacLane Wilkison, Contributor to Threshold. “It is a testament to tBTC’s strength in securing the BitcoinFi ecosystem through the diversification of assets available. To date, leading protocols including Curve, GMX, and Compound, among others, have integrated the asset for its flexibility as one of most decentralized wrapped assets on the market.”
The Threshold Network DAO, which governs tBTC, offers incentives of up to $45K in T over the first 3 months for new users who deposit tBTC into EigenLayer. With Eigenlayer, users have a new way to maximize capital efficiency: opting in to secure additional protocols through restaking. This method strengthens economic security by leveraging Bitcoin’s stability—an asset that accounts for over 50% of the total crypto market cap—and merging its long-term non-inflationary nature with the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model. Notably, restaking just 7% of Bitcoin’s total supply would provide the same level of economic security as Ethereum, underscoring Bitcoin’s potential as a PoS asset.
“The inclusion of Threshold’s tBTC as a restakeable asset on EigenLayer is another major step forward towards open innovation by building connectivity with the bitcoin ecosystem, broadening the scope of assets that can contribute to securing decentralized networks, and providing greater optionality and utility for AVSs and restakers,” stated Sreeram Kannan, Founder and CEO of Eigen Labs.
Following the emergence of Bitcoin staking projects like Babylon, Lombard, and Acre, EigenLayer’s adoption of tBTC is a testament to the power of Bitcoin restaking in incentivizing users to put Bitcoin to use beyond a store of value. tBTC’s ability to bridge the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystem makes it the optimal solution for driving the development of the BitcoinFi ecosystem.
About Threshold Network:
Threshold Network offers decentralized cryptography services that enhance privacy and security on public blockchains by distributing operations across independent nodes. Powered by the T token, users can stake and operate nodes to support key services like tBTC, a Bitcoin bridge, and TACo, an access control tool. By minimizing reliance on centralized entities, Threshold ensures trustless, secure, and privacy-focused solutions for decentralized applications in the evolving Web 3.0 landscape. To learn more, please visit: https://threshold.network/
About EigenLayer:
EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that pioneered restaking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security. Through a system of interconnected smart contracts, any ERC-20 token, such as tBTC, can be “restaked” to participate in not one, but any number of Actively Validated Services (AVSs) in exchange for fees and/or rewards. Operators opt into these opportunities by running additional node software and in some cases grant the EigenLayer smart contracts the ability to impose additional slashing conditions on their assets as specified by the AVS.

With over 320,000 total unique active wallets, Mom’s Kitchen has established itself as a leading mobile game for players to enjoy casual gaming while owning and earning the value they have created by watching the in-game ads and/or made the in-app purchase.
Mom’s Kitchen is a revenue-backed web3 mobile experience that aligns with Unite’s vision of transforming mobile gaming. As part of this initiative, Unite is introducing a limited-time $UNITE Airdrop Bonus Multiplier that offers players an opportunity to significantly increase their token rewards by participating in the game. The total prize pool for the inaugural season is 565 million $UNITE, which is approximately 1.86% of the token’s total supply.
Players can mint a unique, soul-bound token (SBT) in-game assets called Platinum Piggy that guarantees a higher allocation of $UNITE tokens from Unite’s community reward campaign, Unite Odyssey. This achievement reflects Unite’s commitment to maximizing the earning potential of its players.
As the $UNITE Token Generation Event (TGE) draws near, Unite is offering its community members the chance to enhance their airdrop allocations by actively participating in the game and acquiring the Platinum Piggy in-game asset. This soul-bound token unlocks the potential for earnings by playing the game, viewing ads, and making in-game purchases. Each action taken after acquiring the Platinum Piggy SBT contributes to earning exclusive Unite points, which can be converted into $UNITE tokens before the TGE.
Recently, Unite has raised $3 million from its seed extension round demonstrating a significant level of belief in Unite’s vision to be the first and best L3 chain for mass-market mobile games.
