Stake ALEO with Stakin: Privacy-Focused Staking Now Live
Stakin by The Tie expands its network support with Aleo, the privacy-first blockchain powered by zero-knowledge proofs
We're excited to announce that Stakin by The Tie now supports ALEO staking, bringing institutional-grade infrastructure to one of the most credible privacy-focused blockchains in the industry.
Aleo represents a fundamental shift in how blockchains approach privacy; not as an afterthought but as a core design principle. By supporting ALEO staking, we're giving clients access to a network that's pioneering the next generation of private, compliant applications.
What is Aleo?
Aleo is a Layer-1 blockchain that enables the development of fully private applications using zero-knowledge proofs. Unlike traditional blockchains where every transaction is publicly visible, Aleo allows developers to build applications where sensitive information remains confidential while still being cryptographically verifiable.
Aleo’s architecture achieves this through a unique approach to computation:
- Programs execute privately off-chain, processing sensitive data without broadcasting it to the network
- Zero-knowledge proofs are generated from these executions, cryptographically confirming correctness
- Validators verify proofs and finalize blocks on-chain, maintaining decentralization without accessing private data
This design enables use cases that are impractical on traditional blockchains - from private DeFi and confidential identity systems to enterprise applications requiring both privacy and risk mitigation. Developers can build on Aleo using Leo, a programming language specifically designed for private applications, powered by snarkVM, the execution system that makes private computation at scale possible.
The network combines:
- Privacy by default: Transactions are private unless you choose otherwise, not the other way around
- Smart contract programmability: Full application logic execution with privacy preserved
- Configurable risk mitigation: The ability to selectively disclose information for audits or regulatory requirements
The network runs on AleoBFT, a hybrid consensus mechanism combining proof-of-stake with Aleo's ZK proving system. Validators stake tokens and verify zero-knowledge proofs submitted by provers; a division of labor that keeps the network both secure and scalable.
Aleo is backed by some of the most respected names in venture capital, including a16z, SoftBank, Coinbase Ventures, and Galaxy Ventures; a testament to the institutional interest in privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure.
Why Stake ALEO?
Staking ALEO tokens contributes directly to the security of the Aleo network while generating rewards for institutions that stake.
