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.

CFP to Fund Market Making on Bitrue

On 20 March, the DTL team submitted a proposal on Reddit to request funds from the Community Fund to strengthen the market making operations for DeFiChain on Bitrue.

Currently, the requirements for DFI’s liquidity are as follows:

• Spread Control: The spread percentage ((ask-bid)/bid) must remain within 1.5%.
• Liquidity Depth: At a 2% variance level, the depth must exceed $50,000

At present, the available liquidity is significantly below these requirements. This creates a tangible risk of non-compliance, which could ultimately lead to a delisting of DeFiChain from Bitrue. 

The DTL team requests 5.5 million DFI for the following purposes:

1. Liquidity Provision

• Increasing order book depth
• Improving spread stability
• Closer adherence to Bitrue’s requirements relative to the current state

2. Market Maker Operations

• Covering market maker fees
• Ensuring continuous and professional operation

The requested funds will be allocated to the DTL team to enable both liquidity provisioning and the sustained operation of the market making setup over time. Given the nature of market making, including continuous operational costs, infrastructure, and associated fees, the funds will be fully utilized over the defined period and are not expected to be returned. It is worth noting that the requested amount remains significantly below typical market making costs observed in comparable environments, reflecting a highly cost-efficient approach by the DTL team. The funding is intended to cover the period from the start in 2025 through the end of 2026.

DTL Expansion to Polygon

On 09 March, the DTL team announced their token, $DTL, has expanded to Polygon! The new DTL dApp has already gone live.

Users can now trade $DTL–POL, $DTL–cDFI, and $DTL–cUSDC on Polygon. For now, the limit on transfers from DeFiMetaChain to Polygon is 250 000 $DTL per transaction, which will be adjusted as the ecosystem grows.

dBTC 2025 year-end report 

Lord Mark published the year-end report on the dBTC exploit investigation on Reddit. It covers the ongoing status of the investigation, cooperation with authorities, financials, and next steps. Because the criminal investigation remains active, and in accordance with the advice of legal counsel and public prosecutors, no additional information or specific details can be disclosed at this time about the investigation. 

We encourage you to read the Reddit post and share your thoughts on it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/defiblockchain/s/5ZieMRi9Xj

As the DeFiChain marketing team, we’re planning to stay engaged on this topic and support community discussion continuing into 2026.

dUSDC Update

The DTL Team has a update on development:

Dear community, friends

we would like to provide a short follow-up regarding dUSDC on the native layer.

Since our last update, the DTL team has had to temporarily reprioritize development resources. As part of our broader roadmap, we are currently expanding DTL to Polygon, including work around the DTL token itself. This step is important for the long-term sustainability and reach of the DTL ecosystem and therefore required focused attention over the past period.

As a result, we unfortunately could not allocate development resources to the dUSDC topic during this phase. This does not reflect a change in direction or commitment. The introduction of native dUSDC on DeFiChain remains a clear objective, and the work already done continues to serve as the foundation for the remaining steps.

Once the Polygon expansion reaches a stable milestone and resources free up again, development on the cUSDC to native dUSDC bridge will continue. As previously stated, this component requires careful integration and coordination to ensure robustness and long-term stability, which is why we prefer progress based on readiness rather than fixed deadlines.

We remain committed to transparency and will continue to keep the community informed about progress and prioritization changes as they occur.

Thank you for your continued trust, patience, and support.

Your DTL Team

 

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

Donations for the Market Making on Bitrue

Thanks to the continued support of the community, an additional 71,000 DFI from donations has been added to the DTL team’s Market Maker Bot account on Bitrue. These funds directly support liquidity efforts and help improve overall market conditions for DFI.

However, we are still far away from the liquidity levels required to fully meet the long-term requirements. However, every increase in liquidity matters. Each contribution is a tangible step forward and shows the ongoing effort to move steadily toward that goal. If you can provide support, please donate to:
