Aleia
a next-generation router that uses block chain technology to protect your sensitive information
Aleia is a next-generation router that uses block chain technology to protect your sensitive information and give you complete control over your Wi-Fi and hot spots. The device tracks your internet activity and breaks down your history into chunks called blocks. Each block consists of your history over a specified period of time. Every action you take is encrypted by a set of keys that are linked to your account, one private and one public. These encryption keys set up a two-step verification for every action you take while using your Wi-Fi. Once the block is verified by the network, it becomes part of the linked chain of previous blocks and can no longer be changed or replicated.
