❤️ Rest In Peace Angelo ❤️

 Dear DeFiChain Community, Angelo Castiglione passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 10th. This news has deeply shaken us, and we are heartbroken and struggling to find words that truly express the depth of our sadness. Angelo played a significant role within the DeFiChain ecosystem. He was responsible for the DeFiChain YouTube channel, where he regularly shared news and updates with the community. He was also the administrator of the Italian DeFiChain channel, the creator and maintainer of the DeFiChain blog, and an active member of the Marketing SIG. DeFiChain was a very important part of Angelo’s life, and he truly enjoyed contributing as a highly respected and valued member of the community. He brought warmth, kindness, and sincerity into every interaction and every session we shared with him. We will truly miss you, Angelo. Thank you for everything you gave to this community, for your dedication, and for the positive spirit you brought with you. You will always be r...

DeFiChain News (Week 51)

Due to unexpected situations, this blog post was delayed. In this blog post, we will share a summary of the events of the last two weeks. Dex Trading Live - Status Update on cUSDC/dUSDC and the Vanilla UI: Reminder On the 2nd of November Vanilla Labs informed the community that the VanillaSwap UI would sunset on the 24th of November. In order to ensure that all community members would continue to have access to a working and easy to use interface for swaps on the EVM DEX, the DTL team decided to step in and build a replacement frontend as quickly and as simply as possible. The new UI is currently being tested and feedback is being collected. You can find the UI here: https://defichaincommunity.github.io/cAssets_dToken_wrapper/ . It is already running in production mode, in case you want to check it out. Please be aware, there may still be minor bugs. Additionally, there were some concerns regarding security when using the DeFiMetaChain DEX (provided by the DTL Team). Below is the clari...

DeFiChain News (Week 48)

Image
The community has been quite active the last few weeks. In this blog post, we will share a summary of the events. Tokenomics Discussion The community in the DeFiChain Future channel ( https://t.me/DeFiChainFuture ) has been actively debating the changes, if any, that should be made to create a functioning RWA system on DeFiChain. As DeFiChain’s primary usecase, the successful implementation of this system would boost the value provided by DeFiChain in the crypto space. This type of decentralized ecosystem has not been found anywhere else, which would make this RWA system particularly special. Here are some of the topics that have been discussed: Locking 99.999% of the tokens that are currently present in the RWA system Implementing the Future Swap (FS) with limitations Limit the Future Swap to a total volume of 10% of the average liquidity of the last 28 days in the corresponding liquidity pair. For example, if a pool averages 1 million dUSD and 10 000 dMSTR of liquidity, only 100 000 ...

📢 Update on VanillaSwap (DMC)

Image
The VanillaSwap team has announced that Vanilla Labs will sunset on November 24, 2025. ✅ All user funds and on-chain functionality remain safe and accessible. ✅ Smart Contracts remain fully operational on the DMC. ✅ Only the user interface is affected by the shutdown. The community is already in touch with the VanillaSwap team to understand what’s needed to maintain or rebuild the frontend. At the same time, several projects are ensuring smooth continuity: 🔸 CryptoFactor is integrating buy/sell functions for CFR/cAssets and Client Tokens (DTL, TAX) directly into dApps before Nov 24th. 🔸 Adding/removing liquidity will remain possible via multiple dApps on DMC. 🔸 DTL is evaluating frontend options (to also handle pools like DFI/DUSD) and developing a wallet solution to trade all DMC tokens seamlessly in one place. There’s no reason to worry! The ecosystem is active, already covering all critical areas before November 24th. Once again, the community shows how resilient it is when facin...

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...

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...

sDFIP: Strengthen Community Fund by Adjusting BBB / LP Block Rewards

Image
The new SDFIP “Strengthen Community Fund by Adjusting BBB & LP Rewards” is now on-chain! This proposal ensures sustainable funding for the Community Fund by redirecting BBB rewards and dToken liquidity pool rewards. It also introduces a balanced mechanism for DUSD burns, tied to market efficiency. Why it matters: The Community Fund is currently depleted and urgently needs a predictable funding source to support essential activities (development, infrastructure, marketing, SIGs, listings). The proposal balances CF funding with efficient DUSD burning, avoiding wasteful use of DFI. Voting Details: Duration: 14,400 blocks (~5 days) Voting Ends on block: 5402147 Eligible voters: Masternodes All users staking DFI with Bake cDFI holders (via CFR Governance) We encourage all eligible community members to cast their votes. Your participation is crucial to shaping the next phase of DeFiChain. 📌 Link to sDFIP:  https://defiscan.live/governance/2be874b13c5fa0756a5417432b7c5e11675c3d6...

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...
