ELF tokens are used to pay resource fees in the system, such as the deployment of smart contracts, operating and upgrading
of systems (transaction fees, cross-chain data transfer fees). It also enables the community to vote on major decisions, such as
electing mining nodes, introducing new features to the system and other major decisions.

- Aelf - A Blockchain that is Truly Scalable
ELF VS CMC
Cosmos (CMC universe coin) is a continuation of ideas put forward by the multi-chain system, the Satoshi's PoW consensus
algorithm replaced by Jae Know's Tendermint consensus algorithm. Tendermint, a Byzantine-fault-tolerant algorithm, is
optimized for PBFT and requires only two rounds of voting to reach a consensus.
Essentially, it contains multiple blockchains (running in the zone) using separate instances of Tendermint, and a chain of
hubs using de-trusted communication. Cross-link communication is limited to the transfer of digital assets, this cross-link
communication can return data and path, such as sending the sender information of the transfer status.
Aelf's cross-link communication is not only capable of transferring digital assets, but also able to pass any other information.
For example, aelf’s sidechains can trigger contract execution on other sidechains.
In addition, Tendermint did not come up with a parallel processing model on a single chain, so a chain also has its own
limitations. CMC performance is limited to a single machine, scalability will only be reflected when using multiple instances of
tendermint.
Aelf has proposed that parallel processing on a single strand will dramatically increase the upper limit of single-strand processing
capacity.
ELF VS EOS
Both EOS and aelf have proposed to use parallel processing to handle transactions, but the difference is that EOS only processes
in parallel on the main chain, while aelf's parallel processing framework enables parallel processing on all side chains.
By doing this, parallel processing will be performed on both the backbone and the sidechains.
ELF VS ETH
Ethereum has no scalability, no isolation of resources, and the popularity of CryptoKitties, CryptoZombies and more games to
come will block the transfer of the entire Ethereum network.
Aelf adopts the architecture of resource isolation to ensure that the surge of traffic on one chain will not affect the efficiency
of any other chain.
Following the successful launch of the aelf testnet last year, we are proud to announce the release of aelf Enterprise 0.7.0 Beta, the next evolution of blockchain tailored for developers.aelf Enterprise 0.7.0 Beta is a one-stop blockchain solution that includes a fully developed blockchain system, development kits, and documentations along with supporting infrastructure and services. We believe that this brings us one step closer to helping enterprises and developers build powerful applications on aelf with seamless ease.

1.1 aelf 0.7.0 Beta
High Performance Smart Contract RuntimeContract execution level: Based on Protobuf, aelf implements a smart contract execution environment similar to that of grpc. The input and output of all objects and their storage are all based on Protobuf high-performance serialization. State storage uses a high-performance decentralized database such as redis.
Overall contract construction: Codes generated through the grpc plugin shows performances equivalent to that of a grpc server.
Contract Controlling: Parallel execution within blocks can be operated through AKKA clusters.
Consensus SystemSecurity: The Secret Sharing algorithm can ensure that distributed random numbers are generated on all elected nodes. The sequence of block production in each round is determined through the generated random numbers, thereby reducing the possibility of node collusion and malicious acts.
Finality: After ⅔ of the nodes verify a block, it will become irreversible and the data will be stored on the chain. The verified blocks cannot be reversed by hardforking.
Multiple Token SystemBased on the contract system, a built-in Token System capable of blockchain interoperability has been implemented. All assets can be issued, transferred, locked and transferred across chains.
Voting SystemBased on the contract system, a universal voting system is functional, facilitating online governance and future protocol upgrades.
Cross Chain SystemCross chain system provides a way for any data on one chain to be transmitted to a different chain. The system is based on the Merkle tree root index and the amount of data stored in the mainchain is independent of the change in the number of sidechains. This means that the entire system can achieve multi-level mainchain/sidechain indexing and thereby scale up with ease.
Web APIA high-performance ASP.Net Core server results in a high-performance interactive framework.
1.2 DevKit(
https://github.com/AElfProject/aelf-boilerplate)
The Enterprise version includes Development Templates and tutorials, Developer Manuals, TestKit, BenchmarkKit, and IDE Integration

Developers can use the aelf Enterprise 0.7.0 beta Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on the AWS App Store to deploy their image quickly and launch aelf-based blockchain systems with a few simple commands. In addition, developers can access supporting tutorials, smart contracts, and Dapp samples.
AWS, a subsidiary of Amazon, is the largest Cloud Platform Provider in the world with tens of thousands of partners globally and millions of active customers. By listing aelf, AWS has provided visibility of our platform to customers including companies such as Netflix, NASA, AirBnB, Time Inc, Lionsgate, and Dow Jones. All AWS customers now have access to not only build on aelf, but to all the toolkits, documentation and supporting features.
One of aelf’s strongest technological features is the ability to process tens of thousands of transactions per second. aelf Enterprise 0.7.0 beta will provide high performance blockchain BaaS through massive cloud data storage, one-click-deployment blockchain toolkits and flexible DApp development modules — all functions attuned to test and implement blockchain with ease and precision by enterprises. aelf seeks to accelerate DAPP development and expand blockchain ecosystem by making aelf more accessible for the industries seeking blockchain solutions.
