## About

Based in Zug, Switzerland, and founded in 2018, Aleph Zero is a public blockchain platform developed to solve the shortcomings of current infrastructure layers in several industries. Matthew Niemerg, Adam Gagol, Antoni Zolciak, and Michal Swietek are the co-founders of the company. 

In February 2022, Aleph Zero Foundation raised USD 1.5 million in Seed funding led by RR2 Capital including Black Dragon Capital, Genblock Capital, JUN Capital, Master Ventures, Node Capital, Petrock Capital, and Supernova Invest. The company employs 30 employees.

The company offers a peer-reviewed DAG platform, which is a proof-of-stake public blockchain with private smart contracts aimed at achieving distributed ledger technology. The firm's platform provides high speed, scalability, and a set of privacy-enhancing features based on secure multi-party computation research, allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than technology stack limitations. Aleph Zero's ecosystem consists of the consensus, which can synchronize with other blockchains and run smart contracts, as well as a universal wallet.

The organization plans to use the February 2022 funds to expand efforts in the DLT’s ecosystem development and marketing, alongside a boost to the team of blockchain visionaries driving forward the project’s roadmap.
