Market down mode this weekend meanwhile $ALPH is holding the support.

Patience with @alephium gave me a really good entry.

I also bought decent amount higher but my biggest stack got in my bags at this range.

While paperhands selling myself is enjoying my bags 💼

While the market may be rough, real builders never stop 🙅

Phase 2: Aligned Economics is now materialising, with the Core dApp approaching Testnet.

Expect a full update on Friday 21st as we begin a sprint towards Testnet launch.

The Alephium Bridge just got a brand new look! 🤩

👉 https://t.co/85xAArbucv 👈

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.

As promised...

Another one! 🧵

Here we are, and it is what it is. Looking around, you notice recurring patterns in many communities. For some, this cycle already ended last year. According to others, it will be over in six months at the latest. And something you often read is: “We need ... (fill in the gap) ASAP, otherwise the project is doomed.” A rather extreme way of thinking, to be honest—especially when you hear it about a top 50 project that is financially not badly positioned.

Speculation and high investment expectations are part of the crypto space. Every trade has a winner and a loser. The dream of wealth, big gains and big losses are just as much a part of crypto as the emotional rollercoaster that investing in this volatile sector brings.

That’s also what we’ve experienced with Alephium over the past few months. If a project manages to generate hype, it becomes all the harder to sustain it. For holders, so-called “catalysts” are of great importance. What comes next? And what will drive the next price surge? All metrics always need to keep rising, so that there’s no sign of stagnation. In crypto, people become restless very quickly when they see their investment stuck at a certain price level while other coins are “printing,” and even more restless when they’re losing money.

Frustration builds up—something you can feel almost daily in Alephium, stretching out like chewing gum. People loved Alephium for what it was, and many still do, which is why the frustration runs deep. Whenever Alephium was pumping, the community got that dopamine hit, and as soon as a small correction came, it was "OVAH". Quickly, demands start coming in: we need new exchanges, we need more users, more volume, more TVL, more marketing, more KOLs—always more, more, more. What they call Peak Euphoria is probably also a good indicator to take profits, if your greed doesn’t get in the way.

Today, Alephium is again close to its all-time low, and it’s easy to label it as “Alph is dead.” But I always struggle with that phrase when I see how hard the team is still working. The price and sentiment are not great—but the project itself is not dead. The fact is, Layer 1s are swimming in a shark tank where everyone is fighting for attention, tvl and users. The big fish are the ones with deep pockets and Tier-1 VCs backing it. Honestly, it’s quite impressive that Alephium even had this level of hype with a budget that wasn’t among the biggest.

The tech is really hard to downplay: sharding on Proof of Work that actually works, smart contracts on the native chain, 8-second block time—fabulous. But with such a price crash, people start looking for flaws. And honestly, with all the theories floating around, it’s hard to pinpoint one main reason.

Of course, the Gigatons announcement plays a big role. The fact is, it was bad luck that the market crashed on that exact day, and many alts saw their last high in December 2024 over the past 10 months. But the fact is also: so far, Gigatons is just promises, and after nearly a year, everyone simply expected more. The event was overhyped, also because people expected more of what would come after. Gridserve is a respected company in the UK, and while it’s fair to be critical—so far it has all just been a gentle breeze of promises compared to the trust that GIGA was given. At this point, the ball is clearly in their court…

👉 Do you want me to translate Part 2 as well about Alph Projects, the Core dApp, and Alphbanx?

The bulls still wondering whats happening to $ALPH @alephium?

On the way to new lows with uptrend since 26.02.2024 ( 1,5years now )

After such -94% correction there should slowly come a bounce and a bullish turnarround

Still holding a bag - and If we see my entry from end 2023 arround $0,20 again, myself thinking about loading more.

Now lets hope the team with @MaudBannwart and co will bring some nice news with #ALPH PHASE 2

TL;DR: A Core dApp from the Core Team and $ALPH Staking are coming to Alephium!

[tata.sol @Tata_Solana]

$ALPH is set up beautifully — right where we want it.

Volume's picking up, and the range is looking tight.

Buyers aren't just lurking; they're showing up strong.

It's not about catching up, it's about being ahead. I'm in.
