📢 Just in case you missed it yesterday...
@wachmc and @hongchao dropped MAJOR ALPHA on the upcoming Core dApp and $ALPH staking.
So, how does this new financial primitive benefit stakers and builders across Alephium?
Your questions are answered in the Medium link below 👇
TL;DR ➡️ Phase 2 signifies Alephium’s intent.
- Phase 1, we scaled PoW without tradeoffs.
- Phase 2, we make it self-sustaining with aligned economics, and we grow together.
We’re building for longevity, not for hype-cycles, bandwagons, or short-lived trends.
Alephium is a PoW chain. One that endures, sustains, and keeps on delivering.
We recently shared a comprehensive X Article about our upcoming plans, transparently sharing everything we can currently reveal.
What we are building has a lot of moving parts, so ease yourselves through the following points and digest everything we’ve shared… (so far 👀)
🅿️1️⃣
Phase 1 delivered scalable infrastructure, evolved and battle-tested through three major network upgrades, Danube being the latest.
✦ Faster block times (64s→16s→8s) and >20,000 TPS.
✦ We abstracted sharding, now a single chain experience, with more UX gains for both devs & users.
✦ Deflationary mechanisms already live or scheduled: every single block transaction fee is already burned, and further deflationary pressure will be introduced when our PoLW kicks in. Usage = deflation = added economic security and $ALPH scarcity.
🅿️2️⃣
Phase 2 aligns the economics, with a Core dApp and ALPH staking to bootstrap sustainable, composable & community-driven growth.
✦ We will redistribute 100% of the Core dApp swap fees to its LPs and xALPH stakers, while using a portion for buybacks & burns, creating a win-win-win situation 🥇
✦ $ALPH staking opens the door to new rewards, composable yield opportunities, and further decentralization.
✦ Further ecosystem growth via utility opportunities and community initiatives.
🔄 Our Aligned Loop = Infra → Usage → Fees → Deflation → Growth.
Our intent is clear. The alignment is coming.

For a smoother experience, you can connect to dApps on Alephium directly inside the Alephium Mobile Wallet using the built in Browser button, no WalletConnect needed! $ALPH
✨⚒️ DevX just got better on $ALPH, Ralph-LSP takes a big step forward!
Ralph-LSP now uses Soft Parser, a new foundation that makes coding smoother and more reliable. Unlike strict parsers that break when code is incomplete, Soft Parser always provides the structure needed for IDE features to work while you type.
This means developers keep access to key tools like navigation and references, even if the code isn’t finished, bringing Alephium development on Ralph closer to the seamless experience found in mainstream programming languages. #DevX #RALPH
