Nearly 10 years in the industry: it’s always interesting to see how prices can become decoupled from the actual value being built. Over time, you learn to ignore the noise and keep building through the lag, surfin' the waves 🌊

Deleting X for a little while, too much toxicity. I’ll be back in a few weeks to talk about all the great things coming to @alephium! Cheers fam, take care! 🫶

We got to work IRL with @_nop33 and @MaudBannwart this week and it felt good! We got a lot of sh*t done by focusing on our core objectives and brainstorming together 🙌 We should def do this more often! Here's the @alephium's front-end update: 🌉 Bridge Widget (for Core dApp) • Finished upgrading MUI from v4 to v7 • Upgraded React from v17 to v18 • Upgraded notifications dependency • Moved token registration flow into the widget (out of react-router) • Cleaned up components and reorganized them into a clearer folder structure • Removed react-router dependency when navigating from Tx History → Recovery 🧩 Core dApp • New position design pretty much done • Experimented with a new modal layout ideas • Started designing the Pools screen 🌸 Misc • Visuals for X and upcoming articles

💯

Hey @alephium fam! @nop33 and I spent the week focused on core tasks, extracting the bridge into a package and pushing hard on Core dApp design. Feeling confident we’re on track to ship one of the smoothest experiences out there… :) Here’s the detailed #DevUpdate: 🌉 Bridge • Integrated the Recover flow into the new UI • Integrated the Transaction History page into the new UI 🧩 Core dApp • Started exporting bridge code into a reusable widget for future integration • Front-end design work continues, lots of screens and components in progress 🌸 Misc • Created illustrations for upcoming articles and social posts • Spent more time on community engagement

For those curious about my work at @alephium, a wonderful project with a growing, talented team 🚀

Well that was a busy week! Really good vibes internally, more collaboration between teams… and I can officially say: the devs are doing something! Here’s the #DevUpdate for you fam, enjoy! 🌊 📱 Mobile Wallet • Released v2.4.2 in staged prod rollout • Fixed Google Play warning (16KB memory pages) • Fixed wallet delete bottom modal • Added support for browsing non-referenced dApps via custom URLs • Persisted dApp data cache for better resilience 🌉 Bridge • Deployed the redesigned bridge 🎉 • Fixed bugs and improved UI after collecting user feedback • Ran experiments to improve the mobile experience • Fixed overlapping tokens in the token picker on mobile 🧩 Core dApp • Made solid progress on wireframes and mockups • Getting more familiar with the Core dApp front-end stack • Updated ESLint rules and project settings for better DevX • Cleaned up linting warnings 🖥️ Desktop Wallet • Fixed app header • Updated layouts for consistency with the upcoming Core dApp 🌐 Website • Final fixes on the new roadmap • Cleaned and merged the new roadmap code 🎨 Design • Created multiple illustrations for Pepper’s X thread • Created an illustration for Bitcoin’s birthday

Just the beginning. The Core dApp is where we’ll make waves by creating something unique and truly user-focused.

The Alephium Bridge just got a brand new look! 🤩 👉 bridge.alephium.org/ 👈 We’ve completely revamped the Alephium Bridge UX/UI, making it faster, sleeker, and more intuitive. As we gear up for Alephium Phase 2, the Bridge will become more important than ever before, inviting liquidity from $ETH and $BSC to flow into Alephium ($ALPH), bringing with it essential assets like stablecoins, wrapped Bitcoin, and other important pieces that thriving DeFi ecosystems require. So, try out the new interface, explore the improved experience, and let us know what you think in the comments. A big shout-out to our front-end devs, @mikalph and @_nop33, whose impressive design skills brought this revamp into reality 💪

I've recently been approached by several community members about repeated attacks from Kushti toward Alephium, both privately and publicly. Until now, I've preferred not to respond. I'm not interested in internet fights, and public arguments rarely create value. However, it feels like the situation has crossed a line. I want to address it once, clearly, and then get back to building. I've always respected Ergo, Kushti, and their early community. We come from similar roots and care about similar principles. So the level of hostility directed at Alephium has been surprising. PoW is already a niche part of the current market. Attacking other PoW projects doesn't strengthen anyone, it only weakens the broader ecosystem. One recurring claim is that Alephium is a "company-owned project." That's simply incorrect. Alephium is a permissionless network, open to anyone to build on, and everything is open-sourced. Like Ethereum, Zcash, Solana, and many others, we have a entity that supports core development and ecosystem growth. As far as I'm aware, Ergo also has a foundation coordinating development. This is not unusual, complex infrastructure requires organization and continuity. What matters more in the short to medium term is how effectively resources are used. And I'm proud of what the core team has delivered with comparatively minimal funding: - A scalable stateful UTXO model - Native sharding - A new VM and programming language - Multiple wallets, an explorer - A multi-chain bridge - A growing ecosystem from scratch Our approach has always been community-first. When strong teams step up to build, we support them. We only build in-house when the ecosystem lacks an alternative. A recent example is our decision to build the core dApp for the community because we haven't yet seen a production-grade CLMM emerge organically; a very complex and foundational piece of infrastructure, critical to Alephium's next stage of growth. That said, our long-term goal is for more of the ecosystem to be built by the community itself, and we actively encourage and fund that. This will be my only post on the matter. I prefer to spend my time building rather than arguing on X. The work speaks for itself, and that's where we'll continue to focus.
