# ALEO (ALEO) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/aleo.html

## Definition
Aleo is a layer-1 smart-contract blockchain focused on private decentralized applications built with zero-knowledge proofs.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
Native asset of the Aleo network — pays for transactions and blockspace, staked for AleoBFT consensus (per available project docs; no whitepaper was found). Evidence: the open protocol — the token is the chain’s native unit by consensus rules; there is no issuer to claim against.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Native fuel of the Aleo network — pays for transactions and computation.

## Key risks & notes
No standalone official whitepaper was fetched and read in this session (an AleoBFT formal specification exists on official docs but was not opened). Dual-engine security model (validators plus provers) adds proving-economics complexity; core components were audited by Trail of Bits, NCC Group, and zkSecurity with issues remediated.

## Primary source
