ALEPH: The Guardian of your NFT on TEZOS

14 avril 2022

Cloud 3.0 – Aleph.im ($ALEPH), the cross-blockchain decentralized computing and storage network has just announced its integration into the Tezos (XTZ) network. Aleph is a company based in France. The concept ? A “simplified cloud computing solution for DeFi and Web3”. This new synergy between Aleph and Tezos notably improves the security of non-fungible tokens (NFT) hosted on the XTZ blockchain.

NFT On TEZOS: Increased decentralization thanks to ALEPH

This integration announcement means that decentralized applications and marketplaces based on Tezos can now use Aleph.im's compute nodes and decentralized storage.

The press release places particular importance on the advantages conferred by the Aleph technology in the management of NFTs. A critical advance, the latter having generated “a trading volume of more than 23 billion dollars in 2021”.

Thanks to this integration, the metadata of NFTs hosted on Tezos are saved natively on Aleph. Protecting this metadata is important. They provide a description of the NFT and the object that is linked to the token – art, other physical or digital assets. NFTs on Tezos will be backed up and protected on the Tezos blockchain network. Aleph protects NFTs on the Tezos blockchain network

Too many NFTs have their metadata stored centrally in the cloud. NFTs on Tezos will now be protected from a possible failure of these “classic” storage systems thanks to Aleph. They thus benefit from an additional layer of security integrated and permanent on Tezos.

CEO and founder of Aleph.im, Jonathan Schemoul, indicated that the $ALEPH token will be integrated “directly into the Tezos NFTs”. An integration that will allow “end users to easily back up Tezos NFTs to the Aleph network.”

These $ALEPH tokens make it possible to pay for the storage of NFTs or their metadata on Aleph. Payments that serve in part as an incentive for node providers that secure the network. They thus receive a “minimum wage” assumed by the Aleph.im network. This incentive is an effective way “to ensure the resilience of NFT storage”.

Before its integration on Tezos, Aleph.im already provided decentralized storage and indexing solutions to solutions developed on major blockchains like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Polygon (MATIC).

Aleph.im is therefore continuing its conquest of new blockchains, an essential component of its development strategy. The project also fueled its growth with a fundraising of $10 million in January 2022.
