Aelf
aelf (styled lowercase by the company, listed on the secondary market as "Aelf Inc") is a Singapore-headquartered AI-enhanced, cloud-native layer-1 blockchain network founded in 2017. It is written in C# with a modular multi-side-chain architecture, parallel transaction execution and built-in cross-chain communication. Its public machine-readable surface is the AElf node Web API — an OpenAPI 3.0.1 contract every node serves at /swagger/v1/swagger.json and reachable anonymously on the public mainnet nodes — alongside 89 published protobuf contract definitions (the ACS contract standards, plus the gRPC peer and cross-chain services), six first-party chain SDKs, the aelf-command CLI, and a first-party agent layer of packaged Agent Skills and a local MCP server.
Aelf publishes 16 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Admin API, Approvals API, Balances API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Company, Blockchain, Layer 1, Web3, and Smart Contracts.
The Aelf catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Aelf’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, CLI, authentication, and 35 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages) | distribution | 19.2 (thin) | - | 1 |
| Buf Schema Registry (public Protocol Buffers modules, gRPC / ConnectRPC schema publishers) | distribution | 19.2 (thin) | - | 1 |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
