#ALEO# Below is a summary and additional notes of key events for Aleo in the next 7 days (from July 20, 2025, to July 28, 2025):

1. July 20: The first batch of FPGA accelerator cards goes on sale.
Content: A limited release of 500 FPGA accelerator cards will be sold through the official website, specifically designed to enhance the zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) computational efficiency of the Aleo network. Compared to traditional CPU/GPU, FPGA accelerator cards have advantages in parallel processing and energy efficiency, making them suitable for high-load scenarios such as privacy computing.
Background: Previously, ASIC miners (such as Ice River AE0 and Golden Shell AEBOX) have appeared in the Aleo ecosystem, but the flexibility of FPGA may be more suitable for developers and small miners.
2. July 22: zkVM 2.0 Testnet Stress Test
Content: Simulate a load of 10,000 TPS (transactions per second) to test the performance and stability of zkVM 2.0. This is a critical step before the mainnet launch, aimed at verifying the network's processing capability under high concurrency.
Related events: Previously, Aleo completed multiple rounds of stress testing and optimized the hybrid consensus mechanism (PoS+PoW). This test may involve further validation of new algorithms (such as Bullshark Narwhal).
3. July 23: SEC Compliance Hearing
Content: The hearing will discuss the compliance of the Aleo token and decide whether to allow more institutional investors to participate. The SEC's previous regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies has leaned towards a classification-based approach, and if approved, it could propel Aleo into the mainstream financial market.
Potential impact: If the results are positive, it may accelerate the listing of Aleo tokens on compliant exchanges (such as Coinbase) and affect the initial circulating supply of the tokens (currently planned to be an initial circulation of 10%, or 150 million tokens).
4. July 28: New Ambassador Program Paris Event
Content: The first offline ambassador event after the Aleo mainnet launch focuses on the developer ecosystem and governance participation. The event will introduce updates to the ambassador program, such as on-chain interaction requirements, points allocation rules (up to 30 points/contribution), and new roles (such as managers, Maestro Checkers).
Background: The Ambassador Program has previously attracted more than 400 members, and after the mainnet launch, it emphasizes technical contributions more (such as deploying DApps and submitting vulnerabilities).
Other potential related events
Staking Mining Proposal (ARC-46): The ARC-46 proposal passed on July 12 requires validators to stake points to participate in mining, which may affect miner behavior after July 20.
Mainnet Countdown: According to the plan, the Aleo mainnet will officially launch on August 13, and the testing and compliance progress in the next 7 days may further confirm this schedule.
The above events integrate technological upgrades, compliance progress, and community ecosystem development, reflecting Aleo's final sprint phase before the mainnet launch. For more detailed schedules or participation methods, please refer to the official links of each event.
