Wondering about the naming?

All coming hardforks will be named from a to z after train stations in Singapore, and the community will be able to vote on which ones to choose! Next up is the letter “b” — and for those wondering, here is a list of all train stations (read: possible hardfork names) in Singapore.


What you need to do

If you are just a regular DFI hodler, there is nothing you need to do.

If you are running your own masternode, this is how you can run the update:


Download and untar the relevant version to your operating system, run bin/defid or bin/defid.exe to start a DeFi Blockchain daemon. The client (CLI) can be found at bin/defi-cli or bin/defi-cli.exe.


Reindex

You will have to reindex after the first upgrade to 1.2.0. To reindex, run defid -reindex.


App (GUI) users

If you are running the desktop app, you do not have to manually update the underlying node. Check https://github.com/DeFiCh/defi-app/releases for the latest releases.

The DeFiChain Labs Team Says Good Bye!

Image
DeFiChain has been an extraordinary project, and the whole DeFiChain Labs team was honored to be a part of it. But all good things have to come to an end, and for us, that means handing over our responsibilities to new groups and individuals represented by the community. Since we took over the agenda from the Bake team almost a year ago, we always acted in a way that benefited the community. Sure, we could have been a bit "louder" and discussed things more thoroughly, but as the good old saying goes: “too many cooks spoil the broth." We initiated most things ourselves because, most of the time, there was simply no time left to discuss things for weeks. Going Above and Beyond for the Community One example of this was when a promised deal was not kept, and we suddenly found ourselves facing the decision of either keeping Kucoin as an exchange partner back in April or not.  Without much hesitation, we used our own funds - money that was intended to last us for a couple more...

Results for the July DFIP & CFP Voting Round

Image
One DeFiChain Improvement Proposal (DFIPs) was up for vote in the latest governance voting round and here are the final results. DFIPs: Listing of New Wrapped Crypto Tokens DFIPs DFIP 1: Listing of New Wrapped Crypto Tokens With the integration of DMC support, DeFiChain users would then be able to move assets seamlessly between DeFiChain and other blockchains. This decentralised process, managed by Crypto Factor, ensures that the wrapped tokens (DATs) will maintain value and usability across both chains, offering real-time access to assets. Initiation by Economy SIG: The specialized Economy Special Interest Group (SIG) identifies a promising asset—say, Partisia’s MPC or Polygon’s POL—and submits a DFIP for Masternode voting. On-Chain Creation: Upon approval, the Development SIG (or, if absent, governance-key holders) invokes the creation of a new DAT contract on DeFiChain’s blockchain. Token Issuance & Custody: The Economy SIG sets the initial supply based on market demand; tokens...
