Hey,

Welcome to the second issue of the InTheMarket newsletter! There are exciting news and developments in the DeFiChain world again. Let's get started right away!

🧬What is DeFiMetachain?

First of all, what exactly is DeFiMetaChain? Good question! Think of DeFiMetaChain as a sort of "upgrade" to DeFiChain. It's a new, EVM-compatible blockchain that runs in parallel with the existing DeFiChain. This means that it is compatible with both DeFiChain and Ethereum, allowing developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) that can run on both networks.

Simply put, DeFiMetaChain brings together the best of both worlds: the security of Bitcoin, on which DeFiChain is based, and the flexibility of Ethereum. This allows us to offer new and innovative DeFi services that are faster, cheaper, and more powerful than ever before. And the best part? You retain full control and sovereignty over your assets.

Here are some key concepts that might help you understand DeFiMetaChain:

  • Ethereum compatibility: Ethereum is the most well-known platform for developing dApps. A dApp is a decentralized application that runs on a blockchain and operates without centralized control. The DeFiMetaChain is EVM compatible, which means it is compatible with Ethereum and supports dApps running on Ethereum.

  • Proof of Authority (POA): this is a consensus mechanism (a system that determines how transactions are confirmed) used in the DeFiMetaChain. Unlike other mechanisms, such as Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, where anyone can participate, POA only selects trusted and pre-approved nodes (computers on the network) to participate. This makes transactions faster and less expensive.

  • Parallel Blockchain: the DeFiMetaChain runs in parallel with the DeFiChain. This means that they can coexist and interact with each other, but also function independently. This allows DeFiChain to implement new features and applications without disrupting or changing the existing blockchain.

The potential of DFI: features, growth prospects and future opportunities on DeFiChain.

DFI as a basis for projects:

DFI as a basis for projects:
DFI acts as a kind of "gas" for projects built on the DeFiMetaChain. This is similar to the function of gas on Ethereum. Again, this means that these projects may need DFI to perform certain functions or process transactions. The more projects that are active on the DeFiMetaChain and the more they do, the more DFI is needed. This creates a demand for DFI and can help stabilize its value.

This point highlights the potential of DFI and DeFiMetaChain as a platform for decentralized financial projects. As with any cryptocurrency and blockchain platform, a lot depends on how many developers and users use the platform and what projects they build on it.

🎂Celebration of DeFiChain's 3rd Anniversary:

May 11 marked the third anniversary of the first block on DeFiChain. This impressive journey, from the UTXO model to the groundbreaking announcement of DeFiMetaChain, shows a path of innovation and steady growth.

The last three years have been a time of remarkable progress for DeFiChain. From the launch of its own native token, DFI, to the creation of a diverse ecosystem of dApps, DeFiChain has continuously added new features and services. The focus has always been on providing decentralized financial services to the broader crypto community.

The recently announced DeFiMetaChain is a particularly exciting milestone in this journey. Although it is not yet live, this announcement demonstrates how far DeFiChain has come and the incredible potential it holds for the future. It's a clear sign that DeFiChain is ready to remain at the forefront of the DeFi sector and continue to develop innovative solutions for its users.

💭Special DFIP: DUSD Staking

One proposal that is making waves in the DeFiChain community right now is DUSD Staking. This concept, brought to the table by our community member kuegi, offers an innovative solution to stabilize the DUSD exchange rate, which is unfortunately deviating from the ideal peg of $1 at the moment.

But what exactly is DUSD staking? Well, it's similar to the staking you may already know from DeFiChain, only in this case you're staking DUSD tokens instead of DFI. You "stake" your DUSD tokens in a smart contract and receive rewards in the form of additional DUSD. This could help regulate the supply and demand of DUSD, stabilizing the price.

To accomplish this without causing additional inflation, a portion of the Dex fees could be used as rewards for DUSD staking. These fees would then automatically adjust to the algo ratio.

An important aspect of this proposal is the introduction of 100% DUSD vaults. This means that you can only have DUSD in these Vaults, which protects the system from possible abuses. Maurice has highlighted this point in his feedback.

We look forward to following up on this proposal and seeing how it can help improve the price stability of DUSD. Our community member mrgrauel has already collected 5000 DFI to submit this particular DFIP to demonstrate our strong support for this initiative.
