# Aleo

## One line

Aleo is a blockchain protocol that enables private, programmable stablecoin payments for businesses and institutions.

## Segments

Stablecoin, Payments

## What we do

Aleo provides a blockchain infrastructure built around zero-knowledge technology that allows organizations to transact using stablecoins while controlling who can see transaction data. It hosts private stablecoins including USDCx, backed 1:1 by USDC via Circle's xReserve, and USAD, issued by Paxos Labs and backed 1:1 by USDG. The platform targets use cases such as global payroll, humanitarian aid disbursement, and institutional payments, positioning itself against traditional finance networks, public blockchains, and legacy privacy coins.
