LAST UPDATED: 18 August 2022 Various companies have announced stock splits over the past year. Companies split their stocks for multiple reasons such as making their stock prices look more attractive to investors. Although the number of shares outstanding increases by a specific multiple, the total dollar value of all shares outstanding remains the same because a split does not fundamentally change the company's value. Changes like these have to be properly implemented on DeFiChain as well. As a result we came up with a process that applies to all future stock splits. How do stock splits affect dTokens on DeFiChain? Since the minting of dTokens are dependent on the price oracles of the underlying, a stock split without adjusting the respective dToken would cause severe issues, resulting in a wrong price of previously minted dTokens. Hence, a split is inevitable to keep the respective dToken’s price in line with its underlying. A stock split follows a standardized procedure on DeFi...

Throughout the last couple of weeks, nearly all stablecoins encountered some turbulent times. Some had to do with bad tokenomics, others were due to FUD. Hence, this blog post aims to explain how the recently implemented DeFiChain Improvement Proposals (DFIPs) will stabilize the price of DUSD and what users should do next. Status quo and what has happened? Let’s quickly look a few months back, when the DUSD price oscillated around US$1.20 and stayed there for quite some time before successful implementations were introduced that brought the price down to US$1. Now, we have the exact opposite scenario: Instead of +20%, DUSD is trading around US$0.80 prices for the last few days. As a result, the community put their heads together and came up with some well-thought-out DFIPs that have been voted on last week by the masternodes and have been implemented today to bring the DUSD price back to 1 USD. In this blog post, you can find a summary of these proposals; today’s blog post will take a ...

Early in March, AMZN announced a 20-for-1 stock split. Though it will ultimately take place on 3 June 2022, it has already sent the stock on a rally not seen in recent months. In theory this should not happen, because a split doesn’t affect a company’s business fundamentals. Yet such splits  often cause day traders to pile in, fueling rallies like these. However, there is no change in the fundamentals that would justify such an increase, rather, the only thing that will happen is that each shareholder of AMZN in the traditional stock market will receive 20 shares for every 1 share of AMZN they currently own. The distribution from the stock split will take place at the close of business on Friday, 3 June 2022, and trading will begin on the split-adjusted basis on Monday, 6 June 2022, at 9.30 am ET (1.30 pm UTC). How does this affect dAMZN on DeFiChain? Since the minting of dAMZN is dependent on the price oracles of AMZN, a split without an adjustment on DeFiChain’s side would cause ...

After the recent turbulence surrounding the Luna ecosystem, we would like to have a closer look into what has happened there and explain the differences between the DeFiChain ecosystem and its different approach when it comes to the utility of the DeFiChain stablecoin DUSD. What has happened to the Luna ecosystem Over the last couple of days, Luna, one of the leading EVM blockchains, experienced a sharp decrease in the $LUNA price. As a result, its algorithmically pegged stablecoin called $UST lost its peg to the US dollar. Let us quickly have a look at what exactly has happened there: $UST stabilizes its peg by allowing anyone to redeem 1 $UST for $1 worth of $LUNA or 1 $LUNA for its equivalent value in $UST. To incentivise arbitrageurs, $UST must possess true utility. The main utility in the Luna ecosystem is derived from the Anchor protocol, which guarantees a 19.5% yield and is currently responsible for more than 50% of $UST’s circulating supply. However, Anchor’s dominance over $U...

On this day, 2 years ago, the first block of the DeFiChain blockchain was minted. Since then, it has established itself not just as a highly popular platform among DeFi enthusiasts but - and perhaps most importantly - one of the world’s best performing and well-utilized blockchains today. Indeed, one can’t help but reflect on the memorable milestones that the amazing team behind DeFiChain has managed to achieve in the previous year. In fact, below is an infographic that summarizes the notable highs and remarkable feats that transpired in the year that was. 2yr anniversary Infogram With that, we take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone - our team members, DeFiChain community members and all stakeholders - for their much valued support.
