Alephium Bridge

Alephium has lowered the barrier for developers to build on its platform through new tooling that streamlines the migration process. **Key features:** - Browser-based translator converts Solidity contracts to Ralph language at [henrycoder.com](https://henrycoder.com/) - AI-assisted development through integration with Claude Code and Cursor at [ralphskills.com](https://ralphskills.com/) - Local testing environment via single-command devnet deployment - No testnet tokens or waiting required Developers can translate existing EVM code, build with AI assistance, and deploy without changing their workflow. Documentation and tutorials are available at [docs.alephium.org](https://docs.alephium.org/dapps/tutorials/quick-start/). The tooling addresses a common blockchain development challenge: learning new smart contract languages when migrating to non-EVM chains.

**Mobile & Desktop Wallets Upgraded** Alephium released mobile wallet v2.5.4 and desktop wallet v3.2.5 with significant improvements: - **Native swap prototype completed** using Powfi SDK - users can now swap tokens directly within the mobile wallet - Battery and data usage reduced by removing background fetching - NFT tab performance dramatically improved through image caching - Wallet unlock speed enhanced with lower CPU and network usage **Explorer & Infrastructure** - Transaction confirmations now update correctly - Homepage performance improved with cached chart data - Address pages refresh automatically when new transactions arrive - Latest blocks update every 5 seconds with visual highlights **Security & Ecosystem** - Alphland bounty system strengthened with added authorization checks - Website communities section reorganized to separate official/unofficial channels The native swap integration marks a key milestone in bringing decentralized exchange functionality directly to wallet users without requiring external platforms.

**Ecosystem Review 005** covers two weeks of development in the Alephium network: - **One year milestone** since the Danube upgrade implementation - **Aura Markets** completed security audit - **DOH** launched mobile version - **Linx Labs** released double wallet refresh - **New on-chain game** deployed to the network - **Alephium Avenue** published platform updates The review follows Q2's recap featuring multiple ecosystem projects including Linx Labs, Aura Markets, DOH, Ralph Studio, and others. Development activity continues across the Alephium blockchain infrastructure.

**Powfi's mainnet launch approaches as smart contracts complete second of three internal audits** The backend team continues rigorous testing of Powfi's smart contracts, with two of three internal auditors now approving the code. The third review stage is underway alongside fuzz testing and deep DEX analysis to identify any remaining bugs from the public testnet phase. **Key developments:** - Second internal auditor completed and approved smart contracts - Third-stage review already in progress - Intensive fuzz testing underway to catch edge cases **Alphland improvements:** - Dashboard rebuild for better AI crawling and faster response times - User and sponsor documentation being revised - Tutorial videos in production Frontend updates delayed as team returns from personal commitments. A more comprehensive report expected next week as the project nears its mainnet deployment.

Alephium continues its public testnet phase for **Powfi**, its core DeFi platform, with an active bug bounty program. **Key Points:** - Community members are encouraged to test [Powfi on testnet](https://powfi.alephium.org) and submit bug reports or improvement ideas - The most helpful submissions will receive rewards - Over 140 bug reports have already been submitted since the testnet launch - Reports can be submitted through the dedicated [Discord channel](https://discord.com/channels/747741246667227157/1471503694162952367) The campaign is part of Alephium's battle-testing phase, where the team actively refines the platform based on community feedback before mainnet deployment.

**Alephium has released its latest Core dApp Testnet update**, continuing development of their cross-chain bridge infrastructure. The update builds on previous progress outlined in "The Road to Core dApp Testnet" documentation. **All testnet updates are consolidated in a pinned thread** for easy tracking. **Key points:** - Latest testnet iteration now available for testing - Updates focus on Core dApp functionality - Documentation available for developers - Ongoing development of Ethereum-Alephium bridge capabilities The Core dApp represents Alephium's effort to enhance their lock & mint bridge system, which enables asset transfers between Ethereum and Alephium networks.

**New Team Interview Released** Alephium published another Team Talk featuring @babyxDDD, the project's Operations, Ecosystem & Marketing Specialist. **Career Journey** - Started as community moderator - Promoted to core team member - Now bridges gaps between developers, ecosystem, and community **Role Focus** The interview explores how Baby connects different stakeholders within the Alephium ecosystem, facilitating communication between technical teams and the broader community.

**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.
