Why it matters
aelf is a long-running smart contract platform built on a main chain plus dedicated sidechains, so heavy applications can run in isolated execution environments rather than competing for shared blockspace. More recently it has repositioned toward AI-integrated infrastructure, a common pivot in the sector that should be judged on shipped products rather than announcements.
