Aelf (ELF) is a blockchain platform built to make decentralized applications faster and more scalable. Instead of one chain doing everything, Aelf uses a main chain plus multiple side chains, so different tasks run in parallel without clogging the network. Think of it as a multi-lane highway for dApps rather than a single congested road.
Frequently asked questions
What is Aelf and how is it different from other blockchains?
Aelf is a blockchain network designed for enterprise-grade dApps, using a structure of one main chain and many side chains. Each side chain can be dedicated to a specific use case, which keeps the main chain lean and the whole system fast. This multi-chain approach is what sets it apart from single-chain platforms like classic Ethereum.
How does Aelf's consensus and technology work?
Aelf uses a delegated proof-of-stake system where token holders vote for a limited set of nodes that validate transactions. The main chain handles governance and indexing, while side chains execute smart contracts and dApp logic. This separation of concerns is a core part of its design philosophy.
What is the ELF token supply and emission model?
ELF has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 coins, meaning no more will ever be created beyond that limit. Tokens were originally distributed through a token sale, with portions allocated to the team, early investors, and ecosystem development. The fixed cap makes the supply fully auditable from day one.
How can I store and use ELF tokens?
ELF is an ERC-20 token (contract address 0xbf2179859fc6d5bee9bf9158632dc51678a4100e), so it can be stored in any Ethereum-compatible wallet like MetaMask or a hardware wallet. Within the Aelf ecosystem, ELF is used to pay transaction fees, stake for voting, and side chain development. You can also trade it on major exchanges that list the pair.
