And so, in this article, I will describe what kind of division Aleo has. The Aleo team offers industry-leading infrastructure and tools for writing zero-knowledge applications.
The goal of the project is to provide developers with an end-to-end pipeline to seamlessly write, run, and deploy private applications using the full set of zero-knowledge programming tools listed below:
- Leo — To make writing private applications on Aleo intuitive and easy, the team developed a programming language called Leo. Leo looks and works like a traditional programming language. Under the hood, however, Leo is much more complicated. Leo abstracts away low-level cryptographic concepts and makes it easy to integrate private applications into your stack. Leo introduces a high-level syntax that makes it easy to write and intuitively express zero-knowledge logic. The Leo language has been influenced by traditional programming languages such as JavaScript, Scala, and Rust with a focus on readability and ease of use. Under the hood, Leo converts high-level developer code into zero-knowledge schemas.
- Aleo Studio — To speed up the development cycle, Aleo Studio was created, the first IDE for writing zero-knowledge applications. Aleo Studio is an interactive development environment for writing zero-knowledge applications on Leo. Aleo Studio is designed for developers to streamline the development cycle and make it easy to publish your Leo project as a package in the ecosystem.
- Aleo Packet Manager — To make it easier to consolidate and share work, the team has worked hard to create a package manager for Leo. Aleo Package Manager is the first package manager for zero-knowledge chains. It includes collaboration features such as teams and organizations that make it easy to work with friends and colleagues on private apps. In addition, Aleo Package Manager is integrated with Aleo Studio, making it easy to import and publish new packages without leaving the editor.
- snarkOS — Aleo runs on a decentralized operating system for private applications called snarkOS. It forms the logical basis for state transitions and allows applications to validate and store states on the Aleo blockchain in a publicly verifiable manner. snarkOS guarantees the availability of data in Aleo for all programs and transactions. Moreover, our consensus mechanism ensures that verifiers compute zero-knowledge proofs for the checkpoint state in the chain.
I know that there is a lot of text and it seems difficult, but if you read and understand it will be easy. Try:)
These tools will enable developers to create next-generation smart contracts. Aleo can create powerful DeFi primitives like stablecoins or decentralized exchanges. However, all transactions are completely private, which gives the developer and user full control. I think Aleo has a really bright future.
