About aelf

aelf began in December 2017, completing funding from notable institutions and listing ELF on exchanges. In 2019, the testnet launched, reporting 14,968 TPS and validating parallel execution and scalability. The mainnet launch followed, establishing its Layer 1 foundation. In April 2024, aelf announced a strategic shift to integrate AI, becoming an AI-enhanced Layer 1 blockchain, with a $50 million ecosystem fund. In December 2024, aelf launched aevatar.ai, a no-code, open-source AI agent framework supporting cross-chain and cross-platform interactions, powered by multiple LLMs. The 2025 roadmap includes intelligent load balancing, AI-facilitated cross-chain interoperability, and AI-driven node selection. Whitepaper 2.0 introduces a modular Layer 2 with ZK Rollup for EVM compatibility and scalability. These milestones mark aelf's evolution from a traditional blockchain toward a self-evolving AI ecosystem.
