Introduction to Alephium

Blockchain
Technology
DeFi

Blockchain technology has evolved significantly over the past decade, yet challenges related to scalability, security, and energy efficiency continue to hinder widespread adoption. Alephium, a Layer 1 blockchain, introduces groundbreaking solutions to these issues with its BlockFlow sharding algorithm, Proof-of-Less-Work (PoLW) consensus, and stateful UTXO model. This course provides an in-depth exploration of Alephium’s technology, its impact on the blockchain ecosystem, and the opportunities it presents for developers, investors, and users. Whether you are a developer looking to build decentralized applications (dApps), a miner interested in PoLW, or an investor analyzing ALPH tokenomics, this course will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the Alephium ecosystem.

About the Course

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Alephium, a next-generation blockchain designed for scalability, security, and sustainability. Learners will explore Alephium’s technical innovations, tokenomics, developer ecosystem, and future roadmap. The course is structured into five modules, each covering a crucial aspect of Alephium, from its foundational principles to real-world applications and growth strategies. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with a strong grasp of Alephium’s technology and ecosystem, preparing them for active involvement in its development, investment, or adoption.

What You Will Learn

  • Core blockchain principles and how Alephium enhances scalability, security, and decentralization.
  • How BlockFlow sharding increases network throughput, enabling 10,000+ transactions per second (TPS).
  • The Proof-of-Less-Work (PoLW) consensus mechanism and its role in reducing energy consumption by 87% compared to traditional PoW.
  • Alephium’s stateful UTXO model and how it ensures secure and efficient smart contract execution.
  • ALPH tokenomics, including supply distribution, mining rewards, and deflationary mechanics.
  • How to develop dApps on Alephium, using Alphred Virtual Machine and Ralph programming language.
  • Wallet options and accessibility for managing ALPH tokens across desktop, mobile, and browser wallets.
  • Alephium’s ecosystem expansion, partnerships, and future roadmap.
