Question 4

What Makes Aleph.im Unique?

Accepted Answer

Aleph.im is a unique blend of onchain and offchain decentralized technologies. Its decentralized network is offchain but can only be interacted with through blockchain networks. This enables key features such as security and advanced crypto-economics.

Aleph.im is already compatible with many leading blockchain projects including Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos and BinanceChain. This enables any project building on these platforms to integrate with our decentralized database and file storage..

Finally, aleph.im implements a channel mechanism allowing sharding-- subnetworks with all the aleph.im network features. You can think of shards as dedicated cloud clusters.

Question 5

How Are Transactions Managed?

Accepted Answer

Onchain transaction fees are free for users as long as web dapp teams pay for it, which is a similar business model as web2, where app owners pay cloud providers such as AWS. Onchain transactions are batched, so fees are minimal.

Finally, aleph.im provides delegated transactions. These transactions are managed by the network, so there is no need for users to manually resubmit a transaction or adjust its fee.

Question 6

How Is Data Managed?

Accepted Answer

Data is only stored on the necessary minimum amount of nodes.
Data can be stored on nodes in specific geolocalizations.
