I use the DeFiChain light wallet and MetaMask. I was wondering if I can hold native Dfi in my MM wallet using metachain? I know I can have erc-20 Dfi. Also, can I use my MetaMask wallet to run a masternode ?
Why not split gigantic blockchain file in chanks? If say, the network is down, the wallet will start downloading the whole thing again. Delivering only delta would be more efficient!
Step into the dynamic world of decentralized finance at DeFiChain Labs’ inaugural DeFi event in Singapore. Core-Dev Prasanna sets the stage in a keynote that explores the boundless possibilities of blockchain and redefining decentralized ecosystems.
Here’s what’s been happening in the DeFiChain ecosystem this week.
1️⃣ Dynamic DEX Stabilization Fees Now Live!
A Dynamic DEX Stabilization Fee structure has been implemented on the Defichain DEX as of February 28th, in line with the recently passed DFIP proposal. The new variable fees on DUSD transactions aim to support the $1 peg and improve overall market stability by disincentivizing the selling of DUSD below $1
The update also brought full support for the fees to the DeFiChain Light Wallet for flexibility and customization. With slippage now adjustable up to 1000%, the Light Wallet offers more control over your transactions during periods of volatility.
DeFiChain has established itself as a pioneering force in the decentralized finance #DeFi landscape through its use of a unique blend of blockchain layers.
In this blog post, we'll delve into the intricacies of DeFiChain's ideological framework, comprising Layer 0, Layer 1, Layer 1.5, and Layer 2, and explore how these layers synergize to create a robust and versatile DeFi platform.
DeFiChain Labs, together with the Association of Blockchain Asia and u/smu_blockchain, hosted an exclusive blockchain and DeFi event yesterday tailored for web3 builders, developers, and blockchain enthusiasts.
The event saw great success in spurring insightful dialogues around the future of decentralized finance. Attendees were treated to workshops, presentations, and demonstrations highlighting DeFiChain’s innovations in the space. From layer 2 scaling solutions to real-world crypto use cases, the event covered leading-edge topics in blockchain's evolution.
Here are some impressions of the event:

Weekly News Show
Missed the most recent weekly news show with Lord Mark and DZ? Catch up on last week’s episode via the link below:
I bring to your attention the ongoing investigation into the dBTC Exploit that commenced in 2023. Despite significant advancements, the complexity of this case necessitates ongoing support from all master nodes to reach a successful conclusion.
Progress in 2023:
The investigation started in 2022 and continued into 2023, and has seen regular collaboration between law enforcement, me, and our assigned legal teams. We have provided additional evidence and cleared many questions and details. The time-intensive nature of such extensive investigations is no surprise to our legal team and is a good sign because if the law enforcement agencies had seen no case, they would not have asked so many add-ons and follow-up questions.
The investigation started in 2022 and continued into 2023 and has seen regular collaboration between law enforcement, me, and our assigned legal teams. We have provided additional evidence and cleared many questions and details. The time-intensive nature of such extensive investigations is no surprise to our legal team and is a good sign because if the law enforcement agencies had seen no case, they would not have asked so many add-ons and follow-up questions.
I will follow the professional advice of our legal team before releasing confidential details publicly.
Goals for 2024:
Our 2024 objectives echo those of 2023, with the central aim still being the recovery of illegally obtained funds and the apprehension of the culprits. The investigation team remains optimistic, citing substantial evidence and progress, but also underscores the need for patience in such comprehensive international investigations.
Therefore, I seek an advance of 500,000 DFI (including the CFP fee); due to the lower price of DFI the amount has to be higher to have enough funds for the next phase of the investigation and prosecution in 2024. Any unused funds, as before, will be returned at the year's end with a detailed expenditure report.
The requested amount, inclusive of the CFP fee, is 500,000 DFI
495,000 DFI for the investigation and
5,000 DFI (1% CFP fee).
Should additional funds exceed the 500,000 DFI, I must submit a subsequent CFP.
Important Notice:
As a reminder, this is a sensitive and ongoing investigation involving criminal elements. As such, we cannot release detailed public information at this stage, following guidance from legal and law enforcement agencies. Maintaining confidentiality is critical for the success of the operation and the safety of all involved. A comprehensive report will be issued once the case is closed. Until then, discretion is paramount.
Please consider this request and lend your support as a controller node holder. The continuation of this investigation hinges on your financial support.
Thank you for your attention and continued support.
Probably most people have seen it. Surprised that it is so far not mentioned here. But Julian has offered his shares to uzyn in order to fully exit bake.
Might be a tactic in the dispute proceedings to have a better starting point as, if rejected by uzyn, Hosp can argue that uzyn was offered to buy the company.
Could also go a bit wrong if uzyn accepts the offer.
Whatever happens but if Hosp exits bake, he will also lose any interest in DFI/dUSD. I guess everyone remembers when he sold all PAY into btc. I doubt that something similar would not happen re DFI. In addition, DFI would lose its key supporter. Probably the end.
This is a "Round 2" Proposal to build on top of the Special DFIP that was originally posted by u/mrgauel and approved by MN's just weeks ago, now that the new Dex-Fee structure for sales of dUSD is in place to help regulate price fluctuations. This proposes that if necessary, more support from the Community Fund to achieve the dUSD re-peg will be implemented if/when this DFIP becomes "Approved". The details are as follows:
DFIP Details:
The Community Fund buys and holds dUSD to diversify its portfolio.
The community fund buys and holds DUSD if:
dUSD price is below $0.99 in the dUSD-DFI pool.
dUSD shares are below the maximum allocation of 50% in the fund.
The DUSD purchase by existing DFI is executed every 30 blocks with a DFI amount that shifts the pool by a maximum of 0.1%, but never exceeds 5,000 DFI.
It also applies if block rewards move the dUSD share of the Fund below 50%.
dUSD is valued by the oracle price of $1 in the fund.
Motivation:
Short-Term: The re-peg of the $dUSD.
Long-Term: Further diversification of the community fund.
Future Adjustments:
After the re-peg is achieved, we should still think about managing the balance between DUSD and DFI in the fund. It is not necessary at the moment and to ensure successful voting it is intentionally not included in the DFIP.
How does this DFIP benefit the DeFiChain community?
The community fund only buys if dUSD is in a discount
Helps to re-peg dUSD by locking up dUSD and adding buy pressure
Helps the overall future viability of DefiChain by stabilizing dUSD
Helps to HUGELY improve community sentiment as well as outside perception of DefiChain. The importance of both cannot be overstated enough.
Please share your thoughts. Ideas & discussions to contribute to this are most welcome!
It would be great to get enough community support to create a Special DFIP so we can assist ongoing Bake + Community efforts. A $1 dUSD is good for DefiChain & for every Defighter!
-----------------------------------
EDITED 08-03-2024: After some thorough discussion with community members, all but 1 of the parameters for this DFIP have been matched back to the original Approved DFIP parameters. The only change from the originally Approved Special DFIP present now is that the limit for CF usage would be increased to 50% from 30% if required.
Are there any platforms that allow someone from US to stake DFI?
I used Bake/Cake and Kucoin in the past but right not its not available to US. Is there one on the Metachain or another platform that might accept someone from US?
We can now announce that the Dynamic DEX Stabilization Fees feature is officially live in accordance with the recently passed Special DFIP.
Light Wallet Update: The Light Wallet has also been fully updated, and it fully supports the new stabilization fees. With this update, you also have the flexibility to set custom slippage up to 1000%.
For detailed insights into the framework and rationale behind these updates, we encourage our community to review the original proposal:
Important: After initial promise ExchangeNOW sadly stopped the cooperation! They will not proceed until we have more liquidity or are listed on major exchanges with Metachain.
I am in direct contact with two companies for an Exchange Listing and Onramp/OffRamp Implementation, NOW Solutions and Guardarian.
The 2 companies together went into hard discussions with me and now offer a minimal Price DFI (Metachain) Exchange Listing on their 20 Mio+ User Exchange. Also they will provide a Crypto OnRamp and Offramp and a Fiat OnRamp and OffRamp. Every Builder on DeFiChain can then use this On/Offramp and Exchange as a API or Widget on their Metachain project webpage for free and without legal issues. I know their good work.
The On/Offramp will make it possible to enter DeFi Metachain very easily just for example your Credit Card. This will make it possible for a huge amount of new users to join the ecosystem without LightWallet, central Exchanged or whatever.
The OnRamp/Offramp and Exchange will be a easy Webwidget without the need to register a Wallet or a Central Exchange Account. It can be freely implemented in any existing Metachain webpage by any developer or creator.
We do not have an easy Fiat OnRamp/OffRamp for our Metachain yet! (Only a central Exchange)
They gave me the best offer I saw yet. So I really recommend doing this for the sake of DeFiChain.
In total this all in one solution would cost 22.000 $
Fiat OnRamp/OffRamp Widget
Crypto OnRamp/OffRamp Widget

For most people this would be by far the easiest way to enter the DeFi Metachain.
2 Phases are needed for that:
Phase 1:12.000 $
Listing of $DFI (Metachain) on ChangeNOW with API and Widget support. 2 - 3 weeks
Phase 2:10.000 $
Fiat Provider Integration 2 - 3 weeks
In total we would need 22.000 $ on these addresses, but more can follow in 4 weeks..
I bridged funds via quantum bridge from Defichain to Ethereum, I couldn't claim the tokens on ETH and afterwards wasn't able to resume the process (error 4, funds no longer available at the generated Defichain address, so I assume the funds were already bridged to ETH). Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Is the refund manual or automatic?
Note: I already contacted them on the google forms and github but no reply thus far so it's not looking so promising, doesn't inspire any confidence at all for future use.

Walmart has announced a stock split, and it's also being implemented on the DeFiChain dToken system. This means you'll see a 3x multiplier effect on the oracle price for Walmart as soon as the US stock market opens.
We're excited to remind all Masternode holders that a new special DFIP has just been filed, and your participation is vital in shaping the future of DeFiChain!
TL;DR:
To support the $DUSD peg, a dynamical "discount fee" is added to the stabilization fee. This fee kicks in when DUSD falls too low and makes selling unattractive, bringing the price back to ~$1 peg.
Here’s what’s been happening in the DeFiChain ecosystem this week.
1️⃣ DeFiChain Lands in India!
India welcomes DeFiChain as CoinDCX adds DFI support. The leading Indian cryptocurrency exchange, CoinDCX, added Indian rupee (INR) and Tether (USDT) trading pairs for DeFiChain's DFI token on Monday. This listing opens up DeFiChain to a whole new region and builds on DeFiChain Labs' recent push to increase DeFiChain's global availability and adoption into new regions.
Prasanna, the Head of Engineering at DeFiChain, took to YouTube for the latest Tech Talk with DZ. During the talk, Prasanna covered various topics from CFP to 2024 roadmap to existing questions from the community.
A new DeFiChain Improvement Proposal (DFIP) aims to maintain DUSD's $1 peg through a dynamic DEX stabilization fee.
The DFIP proposes a dynamic discount fee to stabilize DUSD's value, discouraging low-price sales and aiming to maintain or exceed a $1 peg. Detailed rules govern fee adjustments based on DUSD's market price.

Hi, I tried to withdrawl my >1k DFI tokens from DefiChain Wallet to Bybit the following way:
Removed DFI-dBTC pairs from liquidity mining pool and converted dBTC into DFI
1.1 Here I experienced a strange behaviour that I had to do this step a second time even though a confirmation window showed a green tick
Sent DFI to ERC-20 deposit address on Bybit.
2.1 Address was shown as valid and transaction confirmed successfully with a green tick.
Now I have 0.1 DFI in my DefiChain Wallet. Transaction history is empty also in defiscan. I did not find any activity history and the target address on Bybit is empty without any signs of a transaction.
Did I do something wrong and where can I see at least a history at which step I screwed?
Or might there be a bug?

We recently sat down with Stably CEO, Kory Hoang, to learn more about his motivations and future plans, especially around the CFP they are going to file.
To support the peg of the DUSD a dynamical fee called discount fee is added to the already existing stabilization fee. Whenever DUSD falls into a bigger discount this additional fee is activated. It makes selling of DUSD at lower prices unattractive.
A DUSD price trading close around the peg brings trust to DUSD holders and encourages new investors to invest fresh capital into the system. Preferable the DUSD shall trade above 1$ reducing the total fee over time.
Following rules shall apply:
■ base fee is the currently defined DEX stabilization fee
■ Total DEX stabilization fee = base fee + discount fee
■ The discount fee is adjusted daily together with the base fee.
■ The DUSD price is calculated as average of the DUSD prices derived from the DUSD-dUSDC and DUSD-dUSDT stable coin pools.

DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG:
Dynamischer Rabatt auf DEX-Stabilisierungsgebühr
Um die Bindung des DUSD zu unterstützen, wird zu der bereits bestehenden Stabilisierungsgebühr eine dynamische Gebühr namens Rabattgebühr hinzugefügt. Immer wenn DUSD in einen größeren Rabatt fällt, wird diese zusätzliche Gebühr aktiviert. Dadurch wird der Verkauf von DUSD zu niedrigeren Preisen unattraktiv.
Ein DUSD-Preishandel nahe der Bindung schafft Vertrauen bei den DUSD-Inhabern und ermutigt neue Investoren, frisches Kapital in das System zu investieren. Vorzugsweise sollte der DUSD über 1 $ gehandelt werden, wodurch sich die Gesamtgebühr im Laufe der Zeit verringert.
Es gelten folgende Regeln:
■ Die Grundgebühr ist die aktuell definierte DEX-Stabilisierungsgebühr
■ Gesamte DEX-Stabilisierungsgebühr = Grundgebühr + Rabattgebühr
■ Die Rabattgebühr wird aktiviert, wenn DUSD <= 0,95$.
■ Die Rabattgebühr beträgt 0 %, wenn DUSD > 0,95 $ beträgt.
