Let's firstly discuss the central aim of @aleph_im.
Aleph wants to decentralize and revolutionize the web and the cloud by building a layer 2 network solution especially focused on data storage and computing power for dApps.
/2
What does this actually mean, anon?
Well,
You can have smart contracts on Solana, which is great.
You can even do way more on smart contracts with money, which is great.
But for sustainable function you need a front-end. So you need to have storage for that front-end...
/3
That’s not all.
A smart contract doesn’t have all the data that you need.
So you will need some kind of indexing to get the history and data for that.
Therefore you will need a back-end for that.
Thats where $Aleph comes in.
/4
We will now discuss the problem Aleph solves.
The blockchain industry aggregately faces huge barriers:
to be able to handle mass adopted applications with barriers such as scaling:
-UX/UI
-high costs
-interoperability
-speed
Amongst others...
/5
Let’s talk about this in terms of a current hot topic.
DeFi.
Most of the DeFi applications that we see have some centralized back-end behind them.
They’re running on AWS, perhaps on dedicated servers or other sort of centralized entities.
/6
If a government wanted to shut down the DeFi protocol that is organized like that, they can.
With $Aleph they are trying to do is decentralize this “back end”, because for that last mile most projects are using AWS, so they need to decentralize AWS to ensure operability.
/7
“I really want DeFi to be totally resilient because until it’s totally decentralized, you can stop DeFi. When it’s totally decentralized, you can’t. If only the smart contracts are decentralized, you can still stop it.”
/8
#Aleph aims to provide a solution for dApps to store, exchange and compute data in a scalable and interoperable way which leads to a large number of use cases.
/9
It will provide file storage for the front-end files. It will also provide database storage, because most applications are just databases.
They will provide this by having these properties:
-Cross chain
-Incentivised storage
-Being Scalable
-Secure
/10
The Real World Use Cases include:
-Cloud Computing
-A storage option for the Internet of Things
-Decentralised identity
-Data Storage
-Social Networks
-GDPR compliance
-ZK Rollup complement

Value Proposition:
The value proposition of Aleph.im is to provide an infrastructure where dApps can work without scalability or interoperability concerns.
They are building a network that dApps developers can leverage to build their decentralized...
/12
applications that demand high computing power and storage.
In terms of the value for the users using a dApp powered by Aleph:
-a frictionless experience
-no additional plugins (e.g. metamask)
-no hold tokens to pay fees
-no transactional delays
/13
Let us now cover what the underlying tech involves.
All the supported blockchains are accepted on the network, which means that that message that is signed by a material address is accepted on network.
/14
The whole system works with messages on the network.
Those messages are organized by channels.
The network keeps track of those messages.
When starting a node, you get the history of messages when connecting two blockchains to specific smart contracts on blockchain...
/15
Rather than from the other nodes.
When you send a network message, it gets stored by other nodes that are interested in your channel.
Even if one part of the network gets totally disconnected.
You can have one part that gets reconnected and recover all data with resync.
/16
The technical term for this is quality control.
They have core channel nodes, which are the controllers of the network that need to keep some Aleph stakers economically incentivised.
The resource nodes are really doing the work of storing data, providing computing.

$Aleph token bottomed out at 0.124 earlier this July (2021). It has broken ATH since then and is retesting.
/26
It is hard not to be bullish about $Aleph especially with the upcoming events just in Q1 of 2022.
In combination with other narratives we have discussed such as "OR" or Zero Knowledge Proof, a decentralised data storage solution would work very well in cohesion.

If you would like to read the extensive research report, it has been linked below:
A protocol which will gain more and more attention as it has combined revolutionary DeFi concepts together.
The focus in this will be on breaking the key concepts down simply for your understanding.

Firstly,
What is Vader Protocol,
It is a liquidity protocol that combines stablecoin-anchored automated market maker(AMM) , impermanent loss protection and synthetics with protocol owned liquidity.
We will explore this in further detail...

#Vader Protocol aims to combine the principles of:
This is a unique privacy blockchain that will make waves in the capital markets soon.
It is not a question of "if" but "when", so let's look at the tech, growth and the potential to help you make a decision.
Firstly,
What is $Dusk Network,
Dusk Network is a privacy-oriented blockchain protocol featuring Segregated Byzantine Agreement to provide privacy, programmability, and contract auditability for financial assets.
It is currently in testnet phase.
/1
Dusk Network aims to be a blockchain protocol designed for easy deployment of programmable "Zero Knowledge" dApps.
Becoming the backbone of an open, permissionless and global privacy-oriented dApp ecosystem.
