DEPLOYED 💥 The moment you have all been waiting for… Just seconds ago, our Core dApp, “Powfi”, was launched on Public Testnet. Alephium’s Unifying DeFi Layer is now open for testing. Link below.

Be aware of accounts falsely claiming to be Alephium support! ⛔ Alephium does not have an official support channel anywhere, neither on Discord nor Telegram. No account will ever message or call you first. There are malicious bots that monitor our servers and channels for members asking questions. They then send them malicious links to harmful websites or instruct them to download malware. NEVER click or run anything from unsolicited messages. If you do happen to see anything suspicious, or you receive a potentially harmful message, feel free to alert the mods or admins (write /mods on Telegram or tag @ Community-Moderators on Discord). Thank you, and be safe out there!

Elexium.finance - back to normal ✅ Back to building.

Four design decisions, one blockchain.

👏👏👏 Congrats to @Ejeemode, one of the 3 lucky winners from our recent World Cup promotion with @Tangem! 🏆⚽️

Revisit the Q2 ecosystem recap ⏬

March to Mainnet 03/07 🏃 The core development team has reached a meaningful milestone in the Powfi smart contract audit process, while the broader tech stack has received a round of security, stability, and infrastructure upgrades. Here is this week’s dev report: <Powfi> 💥 The core development team has completed its audit of all Powfi smart contracts. 💥 Following multiple rounds of review, feedback, and iterative improvements, all identified issues have been resolved. 💥 The team will now redeploy to testnet for a final round of internal testing prior to mainnet deployment. 💥 This testing phase will verify that every feature and function performs as intended across the full scope of the protocol, including pool creation, liquidity provision, swaps, fee calculation, and the referral system. <Bridge> ↔️ The external audit is progressing, with the first round of reviews complete. ↔️ Auditors are now doing a second round of reviews. <Frontend> 🖥️ Desktop wallet security has been strengthened by restricting which external links the application is permitted to open. 🛜 A WalletConnect launch issue affecting AppImage builds has been resolved. 🔢 The display of low-value token prices, particularly those below one cent, has been improved for greater accuracy. 📲 Amount display formatting and modal spacing in the mobile wallet have been tidied up. 🔎 Additional validation and test coverage has been added around wallet hashing and desktop deep-link handling. <Backend> ⬆️ Released v4.5.5 of the Alephium core chain. ⬆️ Backend dependencies for the Explorer have been upgraded, and the internal actor infrastructure has been migrated to Apache Pekko. ⬆️ Market data handling has been improved, with the Market Service expiration window extended to reduce unnecessary API refresh cycles. ⬆️ WebSocket support is currently under active development <Full Node> 💡 Alephium's internal actor and networking foundation has been migrated from Akka to Apache Pekko, keeping the node stack current and well-maintained for the long term. Powfi completing its internal audit cycle is a moment the team has been building toward for some time. With final testnet deployment now underway, the path to mainnet launch is clear. Further updates will be shared as they emerge.

Alephium encapsulated:

PoW coins have the most robust foundations in crypto, yet they deliver the least DeFi infrastructure. That gap is there because almost all PoW chains were not designed to support smart contracts. Soon, that might not matter. @linx_labs is tapping into something huge here 👇

Powfi smart contracts, done ✅

New Article 📰 @BigPepGhost explores what PoS staking participation rates suggest about community conviction. He explains why he believes the upcoming launch of Powfi positions Alephium to close a long-standing gap for PoW. Read it here: 🔗 alephium.org/news/post/why-t…

Wanted: New Features 🤠

Bitcoin proved that PoW is the most trusted consensus mechanism ever built. Alephium then showed that you can build programmable DeFi right on top of it. The two ideas have always been compatible 🤝 it just took the right architecture to do it.

March to Mainnet 26/06 🏃 Powfi is taking its last steps before mainnet launch, bridge remediation is advancing steadily on both technical and legal tracks, and the wallet suite has received a fresh round of hardening and bug fixes. Here is this week’s breakdown: <Bridge> 🔀 Ongoing third-party audit of the exploited bridge component. 🔀 Infomed by the prosecutor's office that the cyber investigation division has officially been mandated to our case. 🔀 Deployed a clearer, more user-friendly 503 error page for the bridge. <Powfi> 💥 Completed all three rounds of internal auditing. 💥 Initiated the final round of internal battle testing ahead of the mainnet release. <Wallets> ✅ Reduced JS bundle sizes for both desktop and mobile wallets to improve performance. ✅ Fixed token price displays for assets valued under $0.01 across desktop and mobile. ✅ Resolved bottom modal header button alignment issues in the mobile wallet. ✅ Fixed Linux AppImage deep-linking functionality for the desktop wallet. ✅ Conducted extensive compatibility testing on Windows and Ubuntu VMs. ✅ Hardened overall security across extension, mobile, and desktop wallets. <Frontend monorepo> ☑️ Cleaned up the repository and removed deprecated codebase. ☑️ Resolved security audit warnings for project dependencies. ☑️ Upgraded core development tooling (eslint, pnpm, turborepo, expo). ☑️ Implemented strict guards against phantom dependencies. ☑️ Integrated knip for automated dependency and dead-code auditing. ☑️ Updated electron-builder to resolve multiple legacy audit warnings. In summary, internal auditing is complete, final battle testing is underway, and mainnet is within arm’s reach. Thank you for your continued support.
