Aleph Zero was initially bootstrapped by the founding team in early 2018. The project has since grown, with over 40 individuals contributing to the network's development and adoption. The team's previous accomplishments include the ACM ICPC World Finals, the first prize in the International Mathematics Competition, and the Simons-Berkeley Research Fellowship. The first version of the Aleph Zero mainnet went live on November 10th, 2021. Aleph Zero's Ecosystem Funding Program was launched in 2023, attracting close to 50 external developer teams within the first six months.
