What Next for aelf? Mapping Out the Journey Ahead

Press Release • October 11, 2021

A little over a month ago, aelf launched its mainnet token swap, one of its most essential upgrades in Q3 2021. aelf aims to build a blockchain infrastructure that connects with existing ecosystems such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. 


According to the official website, tomorrow is running on aelf. But, what does the future hold for aelf? Let’s have a more in-depth look at the ecosystem’s roadmap. 


What is aelf?

aelf is a digital assets technological company whose focus is on building a fully functional blockchain ecosystem. aelf introduces a new cloud network designed to lead the decentralized future. 


The one-stop blockchain solution includes; 



  1. aelf mainnet- a cross-chain network that enables the transfer of digital assets from one node to another across different chains within the cloud computing software 
  2. aelf oracle- Helps with the retrieval of off-chain data between public chains
  3. Diversified DeFi protocols- use aelf’s technical advantages to tap into DeFi through AMM, lending, and NFTs. 


Unraveling the aelf roadmap

With only a quarter of the year left, aelf is keen on making tech, product, and ecology upgrades in the upcoming months. aelf is looking to explore the emerging trends within the blockchain scene, including DeFi, GameFi, trading, and NFTs, among others. 


Tech and product upgrades for Q4 2021

For the next three months, aelf’s technological pursuits will center around upgrading the ecology kit and releasing aelf v1.1.1.


The project developers will be working to introduce new versions of products on the aelf blockchain browser. Users can expect new features such as the aelf wallet and the night Elf extension. Further, aelf will be enhancing user experience in the ecosystem by improving interactivity and diversifying the available applications. 


The release of aelf v1.1.1 will mark the deployment of NFT contracts into the ecosystem. Nodes will be able to connect via addresses. 


Ecology upgrades for Q4 2021

Much of aelf’s efforts in the remaining months seem to be directed towards making ecology upgrades. The project has so much in store for this last quarter. Here’s a breakdown of what these upgrades look like. 


  • Circulate stable coins- following the release of the aelf v1.1.1, the project will start mapping out stable coins, USDT and USDC. aelf will support fast and secure payment transactions using the said stablecoins. 
  • Hackathon events- Together with the developer community, aelf will hold hackathon events to introduce the most popular DApps. 
  • Open node election- Voters will stake to vote to select 17 production nodes in charge of the ecosystem’s ecology. 
  • Sidechain auctions- aelf will use auctions to allocate side chains to individual applications as needed. 


What’s in store for 2022?

From the released roadmap, aelf will drive most of its technological and product upgrades next year. The project will only make an ecology upgrade in the first quarter of 2022 by extending the aelf Oracle system. Following the upgrade, two-way communication will be open among projects. 

So what efforts will aelf be making to improve its technology and product? Here’s a run-through by the year’s quarters. 


Q1 2022

The first quarter will focus on simplifying the workflow of blockchain development. The integration of the Developer Kit into the ecosystem will make it easier to deploy smart contracts within a few minutes. Further, the team will be releasing the aelf v2.0.0, which will see the partial reconstruction of models with distributed framework dapr. 


Q2 2022

The release of aelf v3.0.0 is scheduled for the second quarter. This upgrade will enable the webassembly smart contract. Additionally, users will be able to earn by providing storage to increase usage efficiency. 


Q3 2022

aelf will launch a decentralized storage platform with the release of aelf v4.0.0. Ecosystem users will be able to find decentralized storage nodes for their app data. aelf will build a market that uses storage awards and algorithms to allocate the storage nodes. However, one sidechain will be identified as the central storage for media resources. 


Q4 2022

The final step in 2022 will be to pave the way for further extensions on aelf’s ecology. This will be made possible by the release of the aelf v5.0.0 that will index homo-structure chains on the PoS consensus.

 

Final Thoughts

aelf has made significant steps towards its goal of being the next breakthrough in the blockchain world. Just this year alone, aelf has had several wins, including the mainnet launch and a rebranding that expanded its product structure into an entire ecosystem, including a mainnet, a versatile Oracle network, and diversified Defi protocols. 


Following the successful completion of the technology upgrades scheduled for the coming year, aelf will be looking to expand its ecology depending on the progress made.

The crypto world has a new viral disruptor: $VPN, a memecoin with a name that turns heads and a strategy that turns momentum into community. Unlike traditional VPNs (“Virtual Private Networks”), this VPN stands for Vagina Penis Network. The result is a meme-powered project that blends internet culture, social irreverence, and ironic utility into one fast-growing token. Now crossing 3,000 holders and expanding rapidly, $VPN captures the chaotic spirit of the internet. The team is openly tapping into the most viral meta of 2025: anatomy meets anonymity. This alignment has sparked a wave of “VEEPEEN” memes that now fuel much of the project’s viral energy. A Meme That Understands the Internet At its core, $VPN is a double entendre. It hijacks the acronym most associated with encrypted browsing and redefines it through the lens of raw, meme-ready branding. It is this intentional contrast (between data protection and digital depravity) that has made $VPN impossible to ignore. $VPN stands out for its cultural awareness and total commitment to internet-native humor. Gaining Traction and Market Attention Despite its absurd premise, $VPN is showing real momentum. Backed by high-engagement KOLs and degen communities, the token has evolved from a joke into a serious contender. Early buyers are aligning not just with a token but with a brand that openly challenges crypto’s tendency toward sameness. With viral growth, mounting attention, and talk of future listings, there’s a lot of hype around VPN. In fact, people in the space now cite $VPN as a potential $100 million market cap breakout. Built for the Post-Ironic Web3 Era The project’s tagline (“The only protection you need”) sums up its self-aware design. While traditional VPNs offer encrypted access and privacy, this $VPN offers something more abstract: a mirror to how crypto, memes, and culture collide in 2025. The VPN team is working to go beyond the mere memecoin definition. In fact, this project is more of a commentary wrapped in community. The idea is powered by people who understand that the internet rewards contradiction and commits to the bit. About VPN VPN (Vagina Penis Network) is a community-driven memecoin launched as a provocative fusion of privacy culture and viral internet branding. By reinterpreting the acronym VPN, the project builds its identity on contrast, chaos, and cultural resonance. With over 3,000 holders and rapid growth, $VPN has positioned itself as a standout token in the Web3 memecoin space. It is not a protocol; it is a performance. A decentralized brand for those who understand the power of memes, meta, and momentum. The project’s meme culture continues to expand across platforms, driven in part by the growing popularity of the “VEEPEEN” meme trend. Anyone curious to learn more about this project can check out the founder's official announcement and VPN's DexScreener page below. Website | X (Twitter) Official Announcement | $VPN on DexScreener
