Roadmaps
Always pushing the boundaries of innovation
Since our inception in 2016 and through some tumultuous years, the ALIAS team has delivered cutting edge privacy technology. ALIAS was the first cryptocurrency to introduce “anonymous staking” using “ring-signature” technology. The team has innovated, optimised and delivered excellent privacy software, but we will not stop there. We are always seeking to improve and innovate and build a superior user experience over all platforms. We present the roadmap for the next 1-2 years and our past work from 2016.
2021/2022 and Beyond

Privacy Improvements

NETWORK SECURITY
- Update Tor on a regular basis
- Integrate further Tor pluggable transports. We endeavour to offer a range of “plugins” to make ALIAS useful to anyone who might be in a Tor blocked country anywhere on earth.
