About ELF
aelf (ELF) is the native utility token of the aelf blockchain — a high-performance, customizable Layer 1 platform built for scalable and enterprise-grade decentralized applications. Designed with a multi-chain architecture, aelf separates its blockchain infrastructure into a main chain and numerous side chains, each optimized for specific use cases and workloads. At the core of aelf's design is its use of cloud-native architecture, parallel processing, and a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. This allows the network to achieve high throughput while maintaining decentralization and low transaction costs. Developers can deploy smart contracts on side chains, ensuring that congestion in one area of the network doesn’t affect the rest of the system. ELF is used for paying transaction fees, deploying smart contracts, staking, voting in governance, and rewarding node operators. The platform provides comprehensive tools for building dApps, including cross-chain communication, service indexing, and flexible resource allocation for developers. aelf is built with long-term scalability and interoperability in mind, making it suitable for use cases in finance, gaming, supply chain, and digital identity. Its governance is community-driven, with stakers participating in protocol decisions through voting and DAO mechanisms. With a modular and extensible design, aelf aims to deliver a blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting complex, high-volume applications across various industries.
