Weekly Update – MetaChain Timeline Update & New Testnet, Project Spotlight And More

Aug 4, 2023

Hi DeFiChain community!

It's that time of the week again where we bring you the latest news from our rapidly evolving ecosystem. So, let's not delay and get right into it!

MetaChain Timeline Update: Onward and Upward!

We are thrilled to inform you that our Core Developer Team has been fully engaged in the research and development phase for DST-20. This essential functionality will allow seamless transfers of dTokens & dAssets between DeFiChain and the soon-to-be-released MetaChain layer at the launch of MainNet.

Furthermore, we've successfully implemented block burn fees and priority gas fees following Ethereum’s EIP-1559 standard. This innovative move ensures that burnt fees go to the burn address, while priority gas fees are directly credited to miners on the Account layer.

Based on our current progress and planning, we are confident of a potential mid-Q3 launch for the MetaChain layer. The core development team is working tirelessly to ensure a seamless launch, while also preparing for any contingencies to maintain the established timeline.
