The ALQO Blockchain is an open, accessible and secure peer-to-peer digital currency network for sending money instantly around the world, storing economic value, and paying for goods and services in a simple, intuitive and cost-effective way. ALQO uses an advanced Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism that comes with built-in security assurances to keep its distributed network resilient against malicious attacks.ALQO's Cloud Services are based on a highly-distributed network of over 2,500, always-on global replication servers called masternodes, making it one of the most resilient decentralized cloud networks in the world, and delivering unparalleled levels of resource redundancy, network capacity of takedown resistance.The ALQO DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) employs a fair and democratic voting process called Carbon Voting, where a single vote is issued against every 1 ALQO held. Network participants can use their voting rights to approve and reject proposals for future developments, with only approved proposals being funded directly by the network, ensuring ALQO's long term development horizon.The ALQO network enforces its internal consensus using Proof-of-Stake, an energy-efficient protocol with minimal environmental footprint. Attacking the network requires ownership of 51% of all ALQO in existence, rendering it economically-infeasible and keeping your ALQO safe and secure as a result.
