Hi Ethereum. I am so happy to announce uniflash: a simple and decen. protocol for flash loan. Like

It’s my first de-fi protocol, your feedbacks are important. Here is the link:

@alephium
!
After months of hard work, testing, and refinements, it’s now live on mainnet.
Huge thanks to our dedicated team and amazing community.
The future is bright for secure and scalable dApps on $ALPH with PoW.
🚀Excited to share we've taken $ALPH's Rhone upgrade a step further with a massive boost in full node performance!
Historical block benchmarks show an 80+% increase in block execution speed, jumping from 1200 BPS to 2200 BPS.
Note: These results are from single-thread tests.
GM!
Thrilled to announce that the Rhone upgrade release (2.14.0) for Testnet is officially out! 🚀🚀🚀
This is a major milestone for Alephium, bringing enhanced functionality, improved development and user experience, and stronger security.
More about Rhone upgrade and why
And 16 seconds is not the endgame!
We've successfully tested block times as low as 4, 2, and even 1 second in a local test env.
In future upgrades, we plan to further reduce the block time following full node optimization.
However, we must carefully assess the overheads.
That's why

implemented a storage renting mechanism from day one — a sustainable approach to manage the size of chain state and encourage users to recycle used state.
State bloating is a challenging issue. The EVM ecosystem has been grappling with it for years. It
~68% of Base chain state has been taken over by a single protocol of questionable utility
thanks to cheap fees + storage mispricing, a tiny number of users have monopolized the majority of network resources
this has implications for every cheap fee blockchain. some thoughts 👇
🔥 DIA Oracles Now Available on
@alephium
We are delighted to announce our partnership with Alephium to make DIA’s suite of oracle products, including token price feeds and on-chain randomness available as a public good within the Alephium ecosystem.
I agree, the foundation is solid, especially after the two successful network upgrades.
Moving forward, we will focus on refining the protocol, enhancing the infrastructure, and developing more user-friendly products.
@Alephium
will be well-prepared for mass adoption.
Just implemented symbolic execution to extract contract call details offchain securely.
Wallets will be able to show dApp interactions in a more user-friendly way 🚀
🚨 [1/6] ScamSniffer's February Phishing Report
In February, about 57,000 victims lost approximately $47 million to crypto phishing scams.
Compared to January, the number of victims who lost over $1 million decreased by 75%.
🎉 The first devnet release of the Rhone upgrade is here, packed with the exciting new upgrade features!
- Full Node: rhone-0.4.0
- Web3 SDK: 0.38.0
Happy coding! And don't forget to share your feedback on these new features.
Devnet release is coming very soon!
Developers, please stay tuned for early access to these exciting new features before their deployment on the mainnet.
Meanwhile, core devs keep meticulously reviewing the code!

Hi
@hus_qy
, appreciate your thoughtful exploration of Alephium! As a core dev, I'd like to clarify a few points.
TLDR:
@Alephium
supports sequencing and composability via its new UTXO model and the protocol is a MEV-aware design.
Alephium operates on a stateful UTXO model
EVM isn't a good "Glue" right now due to security flaws and the need for extreme gas optimizations caused by inefficient storage. This undermines the idea mentioned in the article that "EVMs don't need to be efficient, they just need to be familiar".

Moving to protype testing (STILL ADDING INPUT) - Once there is 101% safety in the outcome, well move to frontend integration, fasten your seat bells - DeFi Masterpiece coming to Alephium⚡️
This is impossible due to our explicit approvals with APS (Asset Permission System). If a transaction is designated to use only a specific amount of ALPH, attackers cannot manipulate it to transfer other tokens or use more ALPH.
Even in the case that TX simulation gets bypassed
A "bitflip attack" is a transaction that looks like it’s sending you SOL (for example) when our system simulates it, but in reality it drains your wallet when it's actually submitted on chain.
How is this even possible? And what does it look like when it happens?
DeFi security is hard!
Logic bugs are a tough nut to crack, as we recently saw with the
@kyberswap
hack.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this fantastic thread by

:
26/ And that's because the "reach quantity" was the upper bound for reaching the tick boundary was calculated as ...22080000, whereas the exploiter set a swap quantity of ...220799999
That shows just how carefully engineered this exploit was. The check failed by <0.00000000001%
IMO, EVM's token approval design is a billion-dollar mistake (like null references). It's alarming to see on CT that users' funds often got drained due to unintended signature/token approvals or when the intended approvals are exploited.
🛠️ Alephium's Asset Permission System represents a huge security improvement over the EVM's token approval transaction mechanism.
