First time hearing about Aramid, all the best to your project. I’m not sure if this qualifies as a “layer 2” that the Inc article suggests. I’ve simply not heard anything in regards to this unique structure. Does it not yet exist?
As far as Voi, I would consider that “parallel chain run on algorand software”. Reach/Chris Swenor pulling this move out of emotional spite, still without any details, during probably the lowest sentiment of the community since Algorand’s inception is just as shallow, weak as Headline copying xGov name. I sincerely wish for its utter failure just as he took advantage of Algorand at its one of the most vulnerable states.
