With the release of Decred 2.0, Decred is now a feature complete layer one blockchain. Since the release of the Decred road map in 2017, the project and its development teams have worked diligently to build a network that removes all single points of failure.

This innovation began with Decred’s full node daemon, dcrd, which has been built from the ground up to facilitate, resilient iteration, speed, efficiency, and a modular approach to blockchain development, allowing for seamless integration of features and improvements.

Decred is Money Evolved. By combining battle tested Proof-of-Work with an innovative take on Proof-of-Stake that places coin holders in charge of shaping the future, Decred is able to adapt to challenges and innovate at a rapid pace. You acquire influence in Decred by putting “skin in the game”. Decred’s security, privacy, scalability, and decentralized treasury empower stakeholders and provides them with the tools needed to enhance their financial sovereignty.

Decred and the State of the market is brought to you by Exitus and PhoenixGreen with featured guests.

In this discussion, we’ll be talking about Decred 2.0 which is a major release for the protocol and finalises several key developments discussed in the original roadmap.

Blockchain technology can be represented as being slow, inefficient, and inconsistent. Many would argue, this preserves the highest levels of security whilst aiming to maintain a peer to peer decentralised network. The question is, can this be improved to give users the best of both worlds, A fast, efficient blockchain that is also a secure, decentralised, and peer to peer network?



Let’s explore blockchain scaling and the methods used to increase transaction volume and speed, whilst decreasing congestion and cost. We’ll also discuss the trade-offs being introduced by various solutions. Understanding the long-term implications will also help evaluate the path a project is likely to follow and the overall outcomes.

The crypto news from March 2024 and why Mimble Wimble is changing privacy.



If you have read the Harry Potter books the name Mimblewimble may be familiar. It's the name of a spell that ties the target's tongue to keep them from spreading secrets or casting other spells. In the real world, this funny word was chosen by an anonymous developer who used the name Tom Elvis Jedusor, to name a privacy protocol. This protocol can be described as a cloak of invisibility for crypto transactions, ensuring that user information remains hidden.
