Hi DeFiChain community,

As another week rolls by, we bring you the latest updates, developments, and opportunities within the DeFiChain ecosystem. Let's get straight into the highlights of this week.

Celebrating 4 Million Blocks on DeFiChain

Back in 2019, it was just a dream to bring DeFi to Bitcoin by offering secure staking, liquidity mining and RWAs.

On Tuesday, DeFiChain just minted its 4,000,000th block, and the dream has become a reality. 

The next millionth block will bring new opportunities and innovations, but the founding vision stays the same: democratizing an open and transparent financial future for all.
