Aleo Testnet Guid Preparing for Mainnet Launch, Airdrops, and More

Aleo, a Layer-1 blockchain powered by zkSnark technology, offers users the ability to maintain on-chain anonymity. With strong backing from leading investors, Aleo has secured $298 million in funding and diligently worked on network development over several years.

Aleo’s tokenomics strategy includes the simultaneous launch of their native token alongside the Mainnet. The allocation plan designates;

• 57% for Early Adopters
• 15% for the public, and
• 8% for grants and allocations.

This means that proactive engagement in certain activities could position you among the 57% of early backers, presenting unique opportunities within the Aleo ecosystem.

Recalibration is ongoing on the network until Oct 11th, testing final features and fixes. Aleo is preparing for a network pause to pave the way for its eagerly anticipated Mainnet launch. It’s crucial not to delay your involvement, as this event may hold opportunities, including potential airdrops, that you won’t want to miss.
