Alephium Pushes the Boundaries of Blockchain Performance & Scalability

By May 10th, 2019

Alephium, the brainchild project of Cheng Wang, aims to scale blockchains to handle tens of thousands of transactions per second in an open, permissionless network. Its core algorithm, called BlockFlow, combines sharding technology with DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) and utilizes a scalable UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model to resolve the inefficiency of sharding performance during cross-shard transactions.
