What is AleoHQ?
Today we are going to talk to you about a blockchain that creates a great platform for private applications that will use the ZKP technology.
1. Technology
Aleo is the world’s first full-stack development platform for private applications (powered by zero-knowledge) with speed, integrity and scale. leo uses a new SNARK-based consensus algorithm called Proof-of-Succinct-Work (PoSW).
2. How it works?
Aleo used ZKP protocol for creating privacy dApps/own blockchain. ZKP is cryptographic techniques that allow one party to prove to another that a statement about some hidden information is true, without revealing anything about that information.
3. Use cases
With ZKP powered application platforms such as Aleo, users can enjoy personalized online experiences without fearing privacy breaches in both the Web2 or Web3 setting.
4. Practical uses cases of ZKP
• Personal identification, such as a driver’s license, Social Security card or passport
• Proof of income, such as W-2s, paystubs or filed tax returns
• Employer’s information, including the company name
• Proof of residence.
5. Consensus
Aleo uses a new SNARK-based consensus algorithm called Proof-of-Succinct-Work (PoSW), which provides the same security guarantees as Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work (PoW).

6. Testnet
At the end of 2021, Aleo conducted a testnet, in which anyone could take part. It was necessary to have a powerful computer and install a miner on it.
Aleo already launched a new testnet on August 1.
Rewards : 25 mil $ALEO.
7. Ambassador program
At the moment, ambassador program has reached 100 high-skill ambassadors. These are the designers, writers, animators and other people.
You have a last chance to apply your application in ambassador program. The application will reopen end of August
