Scaling PoW was just the beginning. Now we build the flywheel. Alignment begins. 🌀

The cause of the exploit has been identified. The exploit was NOT caused by a compromise of the guardian keys, contrary to some early external reports. The team is now fully focused on recovery and remediation efforts. We are working around the clock to address the impact of this incident and support affected users. Our next update will be shared on Monday. Throughout next week, we will provide additional information regarding the recovery process for users with ALPH locked in the bridge, further details on the exploit and its cause, and a comprehensive postmortem. We sincerely thank our community for its patience and support while we work through this situation.

The Riemann Hypothesis will likely be solved within the next five years.

Why npm everytime ?!

Big milestone by the team! Please test and provide feedback

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.

WHAT…

Use locked versions whenever you can!

Much better dapp interaction!

Code editors should show you which lines were written by AI vs. humans. Would change how we review, debug, and even trust code.

Accelerate!
