Aleph.im is an open-source cross-chain network featuring decentralized databases including file storage, computing and a decentralized identity (DID) framework. Aleph.im’s vision is to enable decentralized apps (dApps) and protocols to mitigate the centralized parts of their tech stack, thereby achieving a decentralized architecture. ALEPH can be used to secure the network via staking, earn rewards, and as a method of payment for storage services.
