Build Smart Contracts on Alephium – A Dev Workshop with Core Devs
Curious about how smart contracts can work on a Proof-of-Work blockchain? Want to explore something beyond the EVM world? Join us for a relaxed, hands-on workshop with core developers from Alephium!
We’ll dive into:
The evolution of the UTXO model and how Alephium extends it for scalability and programmability
The design and features of Ralph, Alephium’s purpose-built smart contract language
A live session deploying a smart contract on Alephium’s testnet
What is Alephium?
Alephium is a Layer 1 blockchain founded in Switzerland, built on Proof-of-Work. It combines innovative sharding, expressive smart UTXO (sUTXO), and an energy-efficient consensus called Proof-of-Less-Work. Alephium enables scalable and secure dApps designed for real-world use cases — and it’s been running smoothly for over five years.
This is for you if you’re:
A developer who’s used to EVM and curious about other virtual machines
Interested in UTXO, PoW, or just want to try something new
Keen to see how smart contracts can live on a scalable Proof-of-Work chain
Bring your laptop and make sure Docker is installed – we’ll get you set up and building in no time!
