**Scammers are targeting the Alephium community** with a fake Telegram group migration exploit. The fraudulent group appears identical to the official channel and pushes users to "migrate" their assets - a common crypto scam tactic. **Key warning signs:** - Unsolicited messages from fake admins - Requests to migrate accounts or assets - Fake airdrop announcements **Stay safe by:** - Verifying information through official channels only - Never sharing private keys or seed phrases - Being suspicious of urgent migration requests This appears to be a recurring scam pattern affecting the $ALPH community. Always double-check group authenticity before taking any action.

Alephium has unveiled the **first iteration** of its Core dApp testnet interface, marking significant progress toward launch. **Frontend Progress:** - Portfolio page designs completed - Swap page interface finalized - Liquidity pools design finished - Bridge widget integration complete **Backend Developments:** - Referral system support added for CLMM and CPMM - SDK bug fixes for swapping functionality - Enhanced liquidity position management The development team emphasizes **precision and security** as core priorities.
