DeFiChain News (Week 04)



Welcome to the first blog post of 2026. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and a productive start to 2026. In this blog post, we will share a summary of the events and announcements of the past few weeks.

Marketing SIG Opportunities

YouTube Channel

With the passing of Angelo, our beloved community member, who managed the YouTube channel, we seek a community member who is willing to carry on his legacy and continue making content for the channel. Although experience would be helpful, it is not required. We seek community members who want to see DeFiChain grow and are willing to volunteer a few hours per week to create videos for the channel. Please reach out to marketing@defichain.com or DM @DeFiChain_Marketing on Telegram.

Marketing

The Marketing SIG is also offering opportunities for community members to join the Marketing SIG as an extended member. In this SIG you will be working with a group of motivated community members and there are a wide variety of tasks. These tasks range from creating content for the DeFiChain’s official X account to reaching out to different platforms to gain information. If you are interested in helping out DeFiChain, please reach out to marketing@defichain.com or DM @DeFiChain_Marketing on Telegram.

Development SIG Charter DFIP Voting

The Development SIG Charter DFIP was approved last week with a 99% proportion of yes votes.

The Development SIG will focus on all technical and code-related aspects of DeFiChain. It will ensure that development efforts align with the blockchain and community's ideals. The team will initially consist of Peter, Kuegi, Smo, and Andy. These community members have helped DeFiChain for years, and the creation of this SIG will enable them to continue to develop DeFiChain. You can read the entire list of details at the Reddit link below.

dUSDC Update

The DTL Team has a update on dUSDC development:


As previously announced, the DTL team is leading the effort to bring dUSDC onto the native layer of DeFiChain. This dUSDC is decentralized, not backed by a single entity, and not the same dUSDC created by Bake. Its introduction is an important step toward enabling a reliable DEX price for DFI again.


While our expectation was to make dUSDC available in December, this timeline could unfortunately not be met. The missing piece is the bridge from cUSDC to native dUSDC. Due to resource constraints and the holiday season, development progressed more slowly than anticipated, and the bridge could not be finalized in time.


Development of this bridge remains highly prioritized within the DTL team. However, we will not provide a fixed completion date at this stage, as the remaining work requires that all components fit together cleanly, with careful coordination between the individual pieces to ensure long term stability.


To ensure transparency going forward, we will provide weekly progress reports in this group. These updates will also be shared across the wider DeFiChain community, starting this week.


Thank you for your continued support and understanding.


The introduction of native dUSDC is an important, crucial step for the success of DeFiChain. Stay tuned for more updates regarding this development. 

Tokenomics Discussion

The tokenomics discussion is crucial to improving one of DeFiChain’s main use cases. Every user’s brainpower is critical to make a strong, secure system.

The community has spoken: sDFIP results

Image
Voting for the proposal Special DFIP: Strengthening the Community Fund, ended at block height 5,402,147. 🟢 Yes Votes: 3,215 (95.26%) ⚪️ Neutral Votes: 87 (2.58%) 🔴 No Votes: 73 (2.16%) ✅ The proposal reached the minimum approval rate of 66.67%. ✅ The proposal reached the minimum of 1,594 votes. How does this affect DeFiChain? The SDFIP has already been implemented. Adjustments to the BBB when the DUSD–DFI ratio is below 1:4 are ongoing. At the time of posting, 1 dUSD equals 5.08 DFI. Before the implementation of this proposal, only a negligible amount of DFI was entering the Community Fund. With its approval, approximately 58,200 DFI per day from block rewards is now directed to the fund. It is important to note that this number changes based on two factors: 1️⃣ The dUSD-DFI price ratio According to the proposal, BBB block rewards will continue to be redirected to the Community Fund as long as dUSD remains above 4 DFI. Otherwise, some or all of the block rewards will be used to buy a...

A New Chapter for Stability on DeFiChain: cUSDC is Live

Image
DeFiChain has taken another important step forward in its journey toward interoperability and cross-chain connectivity. With the launch of cUSDC, the ecosystem now gains a powerful new foundation for consistent value that can move seamlessly beyond DeFiChain. This is not just another token, but a structural upgrade that strengthens the chain at its core. From Isolated to Portable Stability In the past, stable assets on DeFiChain were confined within its native environment. With cUSDC, that reliability becomes portable and credible across chains. It allows liquidity to move freely between DeFiChain and other ecosystems, starting with Polygon — and makes that liquidity usable within multiple DeFi environments. In simple terms, while previous stable assets provided on-chain parity with USDC, cUSDC now enables that same 1:1 value to move across chains, giving users real flexibility to enter and exit DeFiChain with genuine utility. A Complete Stable Layer for DeFiChain Together, cUSDC on th...
