Powfi is now LIVE! 💥
The first two foundational layers of $ALPH DeFi are now available:
▪️ Concentrated liquidity
▪️ ALPH liquid staking
That also means:
▪️ ALPH x USDT liquidity can now be provided through the CLMM.
▪️ ALPH can now be staked for xALPH.
▪️ Other markets can also be added to the CLMM.
More details below 🧵
Powfi is built differently 💥
By merging the architectural safety of PoW with the advanced trading efficiency of modern DeFi, we've forged something unique.
Even then, there's way more than meets the eye, so let's peek under the hood 👀
1️⃣ CLMM drives hyper-efficient liquidity allocation through custom price ranges, maximizing rewards with minimal capital.
2️⃣ Buybacks/Burns of $ALPH are done using a portion of every swap fee.
3️⃣ Staker rewards come from swap fees, keeping financial incentives right here, within our valued community.
4️⃣ sUTXO replaces vulnerable EVM account models with secure, Bitcoin-esque ledger mechanics.
5️⃣ Ralph, Alephium's coding language, uses an asset-centric approach that treats tokens like physical property so they cannot vanish or be duplicated.
To add to these five facts, we are now five weeks post-launch, and can report the current data as follows:
💥 13.5m $ALPH staked
💥 9.62% of circulating $ALPH staked
💥 $47k TVL in the $ALPH x $USDT pool
💥 xALPH staking APR ~6.68%
💥 >460 xALPH holders
If you're reading this, you're still early to Powfi.
The next edition of Block by Block will arrive on Friday!
For now, enjoy the previous publication and catch up on the latest activity here on your favourite scalable and sharded PoW L1! 👇

Hello Alephium family! 👋
Thanks for rejoining us for another bi-weekly breakdown of what’s being built, which bugs have been squashed, and anything else of merit across both Alephium and Powfi.
💥 Powfi Updates 💥
Our core contributors continue to focus heavily on refining Powfi. If you’d like to support this process, they rely on active users reporting bugs, typically via Telegram, Discord, or Github. If you see something that doesn’t look quite right, or could be improved, please let us know!
🧑🏻💻 Building on Powfi has now been made easier than ever, thanks to the SDK.
🧑🏻💻 The developer kit sets itself up and works with the tools that apps already use, while we’ve also made improvements to integration reliability.
🧑🏻💻 Collecting earned fees when providing liquidity has been made even simpler.
🧑🏻💻 The “Unstaking in progress” section has been renamed for clarity (previously pending unstakings)
🧑🏻💻 Claimed amounts will be displayed on each unstake request, while refund amounts will be shown when cancelling an unstake.
🧑🏻💻 Unlock progress is now shown as a percentage, while the time remaining is shown in hours, not just days.
🧑🏻💻 Remaining unstake amounts are now correctly shown after partial claims.
🧑🏻💻 In the case that a claimed amount is too small to process, an explanation will appear to the user to inform them.
🐞 The devs have resolved a bug previously affecting pools without extra rewards and pools with zero liquidity.
⚙️ Pool rewards APRs now include liquidity mining rewards, not just trading fees.
⚙️ We’ve given APRs a clearer breakdown, so farmers can see exactly what they are earning.
🐞 Swap quotes have been updated on the backend, fixing a previous issue related to insufficient liquidity. Now, the app blocks a swap if it would move the price too much, displaying an “insufficient liquidity” message, so users don’t get a bad fill.
🐞 After solving a UI bug, now, when you add or remove liquidity on a concentrated liquidity position, the fees you can collect will show the correct amount.
🅰️ Alephium 🅰️
📡 A new Full Node (v4.7.2) makes the network handle pending transactions more reliably.
📡 This update is recommended for mining pools and node operators.
📡 We found and fixed a stall issue on the testnet, so builders now have a much steadier test environment before deploying their dApps.
💰 Wallets 💰
🤳 The next release of the mobile wallet will feature several bug fixes, such as:
📱 iPhone users won’t get stuck in a Face ID unlock loop anymore.
📱 Screen brightness will return to normal after you show a QR code.
📱 The “Unstaking” screen has undergone a UI overhaul and improvement process.
☑️ Ledger users will now get a genuinely new address when they create one.
☑️ New community translations continue to bring the wallet to more languages and communities, so thank you for your contributions.
🔌 Integrations & Launches 🔌
📃 The full Powfi documentation has moved to docs.powfi.alephium.org
📃 Previously integrated (and still visible) on the Alephium Docs, we felt it was appropriate for Powfi to get a complete docs site of its own, with:
✅ A “User Guide”, covering wallets, swapping, providing liquidity, staking, and an FAQ section.
✅ A “Developer Guide”, with everything you need to know about integrating Powfi into your dApp.
✅ A new step-by-step guide showing how to create a wallet address in a specific group.
🪙 The KARMA token (from KarmALPH) now shows up in wallets and the explorer.
📹 Alephium collaborated with Crypto With Rico on a new YouTube video (youtu.be/iES_UPNNBnY)
🪧 Campaigns 🪧
🆙 More than 13.1 million $ALPH have now been staked on Powfi, approximately 9.38% of the total circulating supply.
💦 The $ALPH farming campaign is currently 27.7% of its way towards reaching the $200k target.
🌐 Alph.land 🌐
➕ A number of interesting new dApps have been listed on Alph.Land, such as Blockflow Index, Community Powfi Dashboard, Alephium Mirrors, KarmALPH, Synefields, Central Station, and Nóatún.
➕ Bumped AlphLand to a new version.
🏆 On the bounties side, USD-denominated bounties now show the USD amount first in the sponsor dashboard and bookmarks
🐞 A bug that showed inaccurate USD values in the sponsor dashboard and bookmarks has been fixed.
🔐 Profile and notification features now require you to sign in.
🔐 We’ve also tightened cross-site access rules and duplicate-transaction checks to make the platform more secure.
🚧 Work in Progress 🚧
🏗️ Certain users who have funds on groups other than 0 have received errors when trying to swap or stake on Powfi. Due to this, we are working to migrate mobile wallet users to groupless addresses.
🏗️ The first step is to build a migration flow from the legacy grouped addresses to a groupless address.
🏗️ The devs are also working on integrating the Alephium Bridge directly into the mobile wallet.
Block by Block: Edition 2… Complete! ✅
Powfi is less than one month old, but many of you have already staked, provided liquidity, swapped, and more. Thank you for using Powfi, and remember to tell your friends!
See you in two weeks.

A trash can just outbid a mansion 🗑️🏰
Only on Flippers, the latest multiplayer game to launch on Alephium, could such a statement make sense.
@iWalkingCat explained, "I really love this game because it's fun, simple, and easy to learn. I wanted to create something similar on Alephium."
The impressive result is a fresh and modern mostly-on-chain version of the 1997 classic board game, “For Sale” 🪧
The two-person team at @CatCorpGames has created 30 ridiculous properties, including a fridge box, a house on a cloud, a sandcastle, a home in heaven, and a trash can 🗑️
Each property hides secrets, Easter eggs, and extra perks (if you hold the NFT equivalent, that is).
"Every card makes you want to take a closer look, discover some cute little details, and try to figure out the story behind it," @iWalkingCat adds.
Use $ALPH to acquire one of 30 property NFTs from Flippers and you’ll also unlock $ALPH matches fee-free across ALL Cat Corp. games.
Own one of the four “special” houses and you’ll gain free entry to every Alephium Detectives case, too 🕵️
"Players who support any of our games will receive benefits not only in the game they supported, but also in other games within the ecosystem."
Start playing however you like, against bots (with or without a helpful tutorial), free and online with your friends, or to win real $ALPH against live competitors (if you want to up the stakes)!
No sign-up or wallet is needed to start, as they’ve made the game completely free and accessible within your browser 🧑🏻💻
@iWalkingCat finished by sharing, "I think it's great when players have complete freedom to choose how they want to play."
We agree, so we hope you’ll use your free will wisely and fire up a game right now!
GLHF!

Capital needs a framework.
We’re deploying stablecoin liquidity through @linx_labs on @alephium 🔀
Protocol selection. Liquidity assessment. Ongoing risk monitoring.

"How Coinstancy Brings Professional Capital Management to Alephium DeFi" 🤝
@Coinstancy, now serving over 3,000 users and managing more than $1M in assets, has deployed stablecoin liquidity into the Alephium ecosystem through @linx_labs.
They evaluated protocol maturity, liquidity depth, smart contract exposure, and exit conditions.
Alephium passed the test ✅
A strong signal for where this ecosystem is heading.
Read more about this co-operation in a new collaborative article with our friends over at @coinstancy.

Alephium Flippers is a hit! 🎯
@CatCorpGames has just shipped its THIRD game of 2026, following up Alephium Avenue and Alephium Detectives with another title featuring original art, original designs, and smart contracts that put real $ALPH on the line for players.
Credit to the builder, @iWalkingCat, who chose Alephium as his playground and got to work, leveraging our PoW tech, Ralph coding language, and brilliant community to create fun on-chain experiences for all.
If you haven't tried Flippers yet, open the link in the post below, connect your wallet, and play!

New Ecosystem Project! 🌐
What happens when a composer, sound designer, and competitive motorcycle racer launches a breathing dApp on Alephium? 🎼🔊🏍️
You get Synefields.
Now, the breathing exercises he uses to stay calm on the starting grid are available for everyone to use 🧘
Access:
🌎 6 free breathing worlds
💭 All original music (no AI)
🎧 80 unique NFTs that extend the experience beyond the free preview.
Box breathing was originally made famous by Navy SEALs for high-pressure stress management, but on Synefields, it has been advanced into something even more graceful and accessible.
Z155OU, Synefields' builder, added, “Honestly, I'm just happy when the app can bring some people closer to calmness throughout their day ☺️ We tend to stress so much over a lot of tasks and I believe establishing these very simple routines can help a lot.”
🌬️ Take a breather, and check it out at synefields.app
At times, the world’s most established PoS chains have managed to lock up 60 to 70 percent of their circulating supply via staking.
That is a clear demonstration of acute conviction in a network.
$ALPH never had a staking layer before, but xALPH changes that.
We are now approaching 10% staked after just ~1 month.
New Column! ✍️
With traditional PoS staking, users typically choose between earning yield OR using their capital 🤷♂️
@bigpepghost's latest piece explores why xALPH eliminating that compromise is a massive moment for PoW, and why Powfi could signal the start of a new era for DeFi.
