xAlliance Member of the Month
Meet our Member of the Month, Vini Barbosa!
Among the first to break the story of a most "interesting" address in Palo Alto via Finbold, he also started delving deeper into the MultiversX developer trenches and is documenting his technical and non-technical journey for others to follow in several blogs. He’s also piloting the MvX Ambassador Program (more on this later), and hosted his first event onboarding entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts just a few days ago.
Buses, Bureaucracy & Blockchain: Our Intern’s Last Stop
Some journeys are measured in miles—this one was measured in blocks. This month, Intern Intel took an unexpected yet poetic turn as Beniamin Mincu himself quoted a passage from Chapter 8, spotlighting xAlliance’s impact in the MultiversX ecosystem.
As Irene wraps her internship program, she signs off with a final blog post. From deep dives to discoveries, it’s been a ride—one worth revisiting:
Buses, Bureaucracy & Blockchain – Bringing MvX to Nigeria.
The Builders’ Edition – A tribute to the innovators.
Lessons, Laughter & the Blocks That Built Me– Her final reflections.
Celebrating Women in Blockchain
The energy was high at the community space we hosted to celebrate Web3 Women on the occasion of Women’s Day! Huge shout-out to Georgiana, Bianca, Diana, Ulyana, Irene for sharing their wisdom and journey with us.

A huge congrats to all the participants. Keep BUIDLing!!
Building Without Code? Yes, Please!
Andrei Giura proved you don’t need to write a single line of code to create onchain applications. With Cursor and Claude AI, he “vibe-coded” a Tic-Tac-Toe game—showing just how powerful AI-assisted development can be. Here's how to create your dApp.
Andromeda Upgrade & Testnet Live
After years in development, the Andromeda upgrade is here! This is the first step in a two-phase roadmap that will reduce transaction finality time from 6 seconds to 600 milliseconds, making MultiversX 20x faster! The protocol upgrade is now live on testnet and undergoing a crucial governance procedure.
