Which Industries are looking to build on aelf



While the aelf developers have been busy establishing a revolutionary platform suitable for enterprises, the business development team has also been at work night and day, all around the world achieving their own goals.

We have already seen some fruits of this hard work with announcements involving companies like VCC, Poseidon and Amazon Web Services. But what many don’t know is that this is just the beginning of the work for our business development team. We are constantly stressing the importance of blockchain adoption throughout enterprises and this is exactly what we are working hard to accomplish. Our team of professionals have not only been working within the blockchain industry, but have openly pursued opportunities across multiple mainstream industries.

Industries

Over the past few months we have been able to develop dialogues with many different enterprises who have been actively interested in integrating blockchain tech with their systems.

Telecom Industry



Location: Leading players in Europe, China (Mainland & Taiwan), Thailand, Japan, Indonesia

We are currently in discussion with multiple telecommunication companies and providers who are expressly interested in using aelf as their platform to launch blockchain services. These enterprises already have large customer bases numbering in the millions and are seeking to provide them with more diversified services. One example of this is in the ability to minimize fraud within the telco industry. This can surface in identity fraud or roaming fraud. Flowing on from this point comes the second use case that telcos have identified as key uses for blockchain. IaaS, or Identity-as-a-Service and data management go hand in hand with Distributed Ledger Technology. A third use case in which we will be able to help these enterprises enhance their services is through the aid of 5G enablement, specifically in distributed node management and selection.

Internet Industry



Location: China, Japan, Middle East

Similar to telecommunication providers, internet providers can utilise many of the use cases and are in discussions with us on how best to enable this. Some of the internet services are already digital native, therefore blockchain brings in the value of transparency, uniqueness of digital possessions, etc. Through the use of the aelf platform, local companies will be given a great opportunity to go global. Blockchain technology will provide a framework in which Internet providers can create a decentralized marketplace where users can buy and sell their excess data globally.

Fintech Industry



Location: China, South East Asia

This industry is broad and we have received interest from a few different companies within this industry. Blockchain allows instant transaction confirmation and settlement thanks to ledger technology. This opens up great opportunities to establish efficient global payment systems and liberate peer to peer transfers. This requires innovative fintech companies to master blockchain technology as well. Therefore we believe it is crucial to work with the right partners to develop these fintech solutions. Examples of enterprises we are currently in discussions with include a large real estate developer and a financial company looking to enhance their cross-border remittance solution.

Journey to the West



In the 16th Century, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature was created. This particular piece journeyed with a few monks traveling to India to get all the books written by Buddha, a priceless cargo.



Further west, Middle East has always been a very active business hub in the silk road since ancient times. I’m still amazed by how many merchants travel thousands of kms to trade, this is probably the first large scale free trade environment in history. Hundreds of years later, I took my first visit to Dubai, my own silk road in a sense, and I would like to share what I saw regarding how blockchain has been developing over there.

An Economy shift

Over the last few years, the Middle East has been actively seeking new technology as a source for its overwhelming economy. There is a strong push to diversify from the current oil based economy.

His highness, Sheikh Maktoun bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, showed the clear support for blockchain technology during the launch of the UAE Blockchain Strategy 2021.

“The adoption of this technology will reflect on the quality of life in the UAE and will enhance happiness levels for citizens,” Sheikh Mohammed said.



“50 percent of government transactions on the federal level will be conducted using blockchain technology by 2021,” he added.

“This technology will save time, effort and resources and enable individuals to conduct most of their transactions in a timely manner that suits their lifestyle and work.”

This shift has focused so strongly on technology that they believe this strategy will save 11 Billion AED, 398 million printed documents annually, and 77 million work hours annually. In fact, the UAE Government is so focused on this push that they have announced a complete smart city 2020 vision, where blockchain is a key component.



On The Ground

Dubai reminds me a lot of Singapore, the structure, a modern, efficient, and highly organized city. As a special experience, I was visiting during Ramadan, allowing me to experience the rich culture that permeates throughout the whole city. I was able to celebrate Ifta with friends, further enforcing the strong value this culture supports towards friendship and family. It was such a heart-warming experience in such a busy business-centric world.


With the help of Jason from our partner company, CGS and Enterprise Singapore, we visited a number of government agencies, including Abu Dhabi Smart Solutions Authority and Dubai SME. It was clear very quickly that they possess a strong understanding of blockchain technology beyond the application of cryptocurrencies. This came through as they discussed their vision for a solution to transform their public. In addition, my ex-colleagues at Roland Berger are also advising large corporates on blockchain-related topics. After speaking with them, it was very apparent that their experiences also point towards a very high demand for blockchain adoption, and I was able to open the door to a few new exciting opportunities aelf can pursue.



We strongly believe that the aelf blockchain will have a great impact on enterprises and blockchain adoption. With our help, an enterprise can launch their own aelf blockchain with 5 minutes, with easy, modularized customization. Our ecosystem will work to a high efficiency with the unique parallel processing capability. We are changing the ‘single core CPU’ blockchain to a ‘multi core CPU’ multi-chain system. Couple this with the supporting tools, building a dapp on aelf could not be easier!

“Our ecosystem will work to a high efficiency… couple this with the supporting tools, building a dapp on aelf could not be easier!”

With the mindset and infrastructure available, we strongly believe the UAE is a great region to develop blockchain adoption. We will continue to conduct our business development here and are happy to appoint Jason King as Director of Middle East & North Africa (MENA) for aelf. He will aid us in opening doors with governments and enterprises with the full support of aelf team in this region. In addition, we have also secured some technical solution providers to help our clients implement their dapps on the aelf blockchain.



Every great journey begins with one small but monumental step. For aelf, we have taken this step and are now on an exciting journey, bringing blockchain to the UAE. We have set the wheels in motion and have aligned all the pieces to maximize our potential for success. I know I speak for the aelf team when I say, we look forward to announcing many more opportunities with enterprises and governments, not only in the UAE, but around the world.

aelf Enterprise 0.7.0 Beta Version explained



As part of the strategic phased network launch, aelf has released the Enterprise beta 0.7.0 blockchain platform.

It was with much anticipation that you, our community, was waiting for aelf to launch a platform worthy of our name. On May 1st, aelf officially announced the launch of Enterprise Beta 0.7.0 Platform. This is a full blockchain product, complete with a DevKit, blockchain Scanner, explorer and wallet, as well as a documentation library. This platform is primarily focused on bringing a product to interested enterprises to trial running their services on blockchain technology. This article will breakdown what the Enterprise Version really entails, its significance to aelf and the wider community, and why this is a vital step towards blockchain adoption.



Have you ever tried to buy a really expensive item or something that you will use everyday, like a mobile phone. No matter how much research you do online, or what people tell you, in the end you have to go into the store and feel the item, play around with it and make sure it suits your needs. Enterprises are no different, we can convince a company that our platform is amazing, but until they see it, play around with it and make sure it suits their needs, they will be reluctant to make a firm decision.

This platform is, for all sense and purposes, a complete blockchain running live. It consists of a fully functioning Consensus Protocol using DPoS, Smart Contract system, voting mechanism, multiple token infrastructure, and cross chain interoperability features. This means, that with the aelf blockchain kernal, an interested party can setup and run their own node on the system complete with a functional smart contract. This is done with minimal coding and in essence, can be setup within a few minutes.



Going back to our mobile phone example, I remember every time my mum sets up a new phone, she is so worried about the setup thinking she will choose the wrong option, not knowing what she is doing and make the phone not work at all. But imagine if she had a trial version to play with before she got the real one, knowing no matter what she did, she would get a brand new phone at the end with everything setup correctly. This is the benefit of having an enterprise version for them to try out in-house before going full public. Meaning that an enterprise who has an application they would like to test on aelf can do so on the enterprise version with minimal effort. The fact that this blockchain is still in beta means that these enterprises do not need to worry about having the application go live, timeframes or costs.



Now you’ve gone to the store, you’ve played around with a dozen phones and you like different elements of each one but there isn’t that one phone that is perfect for you. I know the disappointment of having to settle for close enough. Imagine you could go to the store and say I want feature a, b, c, and d from these phones and they custom it and make the most amazing phone just for you. We’ve already thought of this, but on a blockchain platform. The blockchain is developed in a manner which allows the isolation of each module. Should an enterprise require a certain detail customized for their particular use case, they can isolate and adapt the specific module related to their needs, rather than having to adjust the complete code. As a result, there will be little effort and resources required to create a more customized solution for many enterprises. According to our discussions with many interested enterprises, this is one of the key driving forces that puts aelf ahead of the competition in their eyes. The customizability of aelf blockchain has captured the interest of many companies.



Ok, you’ve now found the perfect custom made mobile phone, that you know you will like. You open the box and go to read the manual to learn all about the rest of the phone you haven’t played with yet… only to find a 100 word warranty script. Not only that, but it comes with one charging cable and one headphone set. Now you need to spend 100 hours online learning about the phone, go to the store and buy 2 dozen charging cables and 2 more sets of headphones. Unfortunately this is often the case for blockchain platforms. They have poor documentation and any extra features are created by third party and can never been found from the one source. Early in the aelf development, we decided to change this stereotype. We have developed a fairly comprehensive library that is not only easy to understand, but written to provide a complete guide to any user that may wish to use aelf, regardless of their technical literacy. In the near future, we will publish a short video demonstrating the building of a node on aelf by using the documentation guides available publicly.

Have you ever asked someone what their job is or who they work for and their answer leaves you no wiser. It might sound really professional or fancy, you may even have heard of the company but your very next question is, “Great, so… What exactly do you do though?”

This is a common case for companies whose products are focused on framework or supporting other businesses. aelf falls into this category and as such it is important we are able to clearly communicate what the key objectives of the aelf project are. In my previous article we looked at some examples of real world application the aelf network can be used for. This article will be discussing the key objectives and providing a general understanding of what aelf seeks to achieve through this ground-breaking technology.



Should there be something in this article that you don’t understand, would like more clarity on or simply want discussed in further detail, please leave a comment below and I’ll respond directly or in the next article.

There are 5 main objectives in which aelf hopes to improve the blockchain world. They are as follows:

1. A highly customizable OS for Commercial Use

2. Cross-chain Interaction

3. Performance Improvement

4. Protocol Update

5. Private Chain Module

By understanding these objectives one will be able to differentiate the aelf project from all other projects seemingly similar or not. These are what set aelf apart from the rest of the world. On a basic level, this is aelf. This is how we plan to change the world.

1. A highly customizable OS for Commercial Use — aelf has often been referred to as the ‘linux system’ for blockchain. Just like linux, aelf will be building the base system and framework allowing other developers to build their own fully customized and supported system/dApplication. With this framework in place it will provide the support so developers can focus their attention on ensuring their dApp is based upon application scenarios and specific to their customer needs.

With this degree of customization, aelf can transcend industrial boundaries and make itself applicable to all developers regardless of their focus or customer needs. This aelf system can be broken up into two main components.

The first component is the aelf kernel which includes the fundamentals of a blockchain system, the mainchain. This mainchain will run the overall network and coordinate each sidechain running each customized Smart Contract or dApp.

The second component is a ‘shell’, which is the basic interactive interface for the Core. Users can either use the complete Blockchain template or quickly develop their own customized blockchain which is based upon the Core.

2. Cross-chain Interaction — the aelf platform will be designed in such a way that it will allow interaction between the sidechains and other blockchain networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. the purpose of this is to allow the sharing of digital assets, and user information. Further benefits of this aspect will become clearer once the project is further developed.

3. Performance Improvement — This aspect has been discussed in some of my previous articles so I will not delve into too much depth here. Essentially this objective resulted due to some very clear and serious restrictions with the current blockchain technology. These include resource segregation, scalability and efficiency.

By keeping each sidechain focused on one Smart Contract and no data running through the mainchain, the aelf network will be able to isolate any congestion ensuring it will not affect any other chains. This will also allow for the best chain be developed for each project making it unique and perfectly suited for the customer needs and requirements. Should one chain become too complex to effectively process transactions, it should be split into parallel chains to offload the traffic, reducing congestion.

Through the use of DPoS and cloud nodes which will run a series of miners in parallel, the potential to scale current transactions to fully commercial scales are now available for all sidechains in the aelf network. Currently by having one miner function as one node, the slowest miner will bottleneck the transaction processing speeds. By allowing multiple miners to collectively combine and become one node, this will remove the bottleneck and create a network many times faster than what is currently available.

Each sidechain does not need to apply the same consensus protocol. It can choose the most appropriate for the specific requirements. By allowing this, the components and data with the chain will be much simpler and easier to manage. This brings me to the next objective.

4. Protocol Update — It is currently very difficult for a blockchain to switch Consensus Protocols, should the need arise. Since the aelf network will function with any Protocol, it also future proofs itself from becoming outdated or wasting resources in switching Protocols or not having the most effective one applied. This demonstrates foresight and looking to the future by the aelf team — something that is not often seen fully in blockchain projects.

5. Private Chain Module — One aspect that is very important for businesses is the ability to control and privatise their personal and collected data. Currently these private chains, which utilize blockchain technology, are isolated to the point they have no connection to external eco-systems or other businesses. The aelf project will be allowing users to rapidly create independent chains using our Private Chain Module and obtain full ownership of it while still utilizing the benefits of the overall network resources and security should they run the DPoS Protocol.

As you can see, this project is unlike anything that has been presented to the public to date. There are many components which will appeal to different business cases and the fundamentals will apply to all industries. Aelf has already proven itself in the business world with the astounding success in its private sale and continuing partnerships and exchange listing.
