    What is Aligned?

    Aligned is a ZK (Zero-Knowledge) verification layer designed to enhance Ethereum’s capabilities. The project focuses on making proof verification more efficient and cost-effective, offering transaction processing that costs 90% less than standard Ethereum operations. By utilizing ZK technology, Aligned aims to process thousands of transactions per second while maintaining the security benefits of the Ethereum network.

    The platform serves as a specialized layer for handling ZK proof verification, addressing one of the key challenges in scaling blockchain networks. This approach helps reduce the computational resources needed for verification processes, making it more accessible for developers and users.
