Rhône Network Upgrade 🧵#2
@alephium will enable Programmable Gasless Transactions!
Why?
What does this mean?
Why is it important?
⬇️
Imagine you're a new user wanting to interact with a dApp on Alephium, for example, a Decentralized Exchange.
Even if you are swapping other tokens, you need $ALPH to interact with the blockchain and get your desired item.
It's inconvenient if you don't have $ALPH on hand.

Sharding is a term we often hear in the blockchain space, but what does it really mean?
Especially in the context of UTXO and PoW based systems, @alephium sharding takes a very unique approach.
Let's dive in! 🧵
Technically, sharding simply means partitioning.
And there are numerous ways to implement it.
We've talked about it quite a lot in the past already!

Bridge Thread #1
Bridge is getting closer... Did you know tokens never leave their "home" chain when you cross the bridge?
Here's why👇
Let's assume Alice wants to trade 100 $ALPH on a DEX on Ethereum.
She visits the bridge site, connects her @Alephium wallet, and sends 100 $ALPH to Ethereum.
Here's what happens under the hood:

June was a busy month!🏗️
Let's look at what happened on @alephium 👀
The Core devs deployed a Proof of Concept NFT Marketplace on testnet.
With @ethereum heading for #TheMerge, it’s a good time to remember how consensus mechanisms work, especially our very own Proof of Less Work and the benefits it brings to the security of our network.
2/ We wrote an article about it in our blog. If you didn’t read it yet, now’s a good time! Especially since next thursday @wachmc will do an AMA on our Discord on this subject!
We’ll explain how Blockflow prevents double-spending using #UTXO, #PoW and #DAG!
We are going deep-nerdy, so strap-on!
This 🧵is inspired from a convo between @wachmc & @programmargorp in our Discord discord.com/channels/74774…
This started well, but while writing it, it took on a life of its own as we went further down the rabbit-hole, so it’s a bit of a monster thread! Please bear with us!
