Decimal blockchain update results

A significant step for the blockchain has arrived. On August 1, on its four-year anniversary, the Decimal blockchain started the migration process and September 4 – 95% of the functionality is already running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). All interactions with the blockchain now go through the EVM, but validator-related functionality will remain on the COSMOS module, interacting with the EVM via smart contracts.

The development team has done a great and not easy update work to introduce a new blockchain to the cryptocurrency market, taking into account the accepted initiative from CEO Decimal.

The block height of 22,372,801 was the first block when the Decimal blockchain is already running on EVM.

At this time, all necessary tests have been conducted and restrictions on the use of the blockchain network have been lifted. The new functionality can be used via console.decimalchain.com:

  • Transactions in the EVM network, using address 0x…, which becomes the main address for transactions (the old d0… address is temporarily left for those who oriented their wallets by addresses of this format. The d0 address has no other functionality now).
    • There is a possibility of multiple sending of transactions – Multisend.
  • Multisig is a feature that allows you to start a shared wallet for multiple users with a voting option.
  • Conversion. This section of the console contains a widget that can be used to exchange one secured token for another.
  • Delegation. Ability to delegate your tokens to a selected validator to be rewarded in DEL coins, accordingly with the terms of participation in delegation. Added a new feature, the “Delegate to Hold” toggle, which allows you to freeze your steak for the period you need.
    • Move. The ability to move a delegated steak between validators (including the ability to move a steak sent to Hold). Move period = 7 days.
    • Recall. Delegated Recall Functionality. The deadline has been changed to 15 days.
    • The ability to send a steak to Hold status for a specified period of time. Those steaks that are sent for a year or more will receive an additional reward. It is calculated by the ratio of issued coins to delegated coins. If the number of coins in the reward exceeds the number available for distribution among the delegated coins, the remaining coins will be distributed in equal proportional shares among those who have delegated steaks for a year or more.
  • Masternode is a tool that allows you to become a validator, participate in votes, accept delegated coins and NFTs from other Decimal users.
  • My tokens. Functionality to create tokens (secured and unsecured).
  • Functionality to create NFTs and collections, DRC 721 and DRC 1155 standard. Combustion capability

Minor errors

It is important to note that according to the result of the update – the functionality is not fully available for users and there are minor bugs in the display of information via console and explorer:

  • Multisig. There are errors in displaying voting transaction for the user with the highest voting power.
  • Delegation. Noticed a bug in the display of total user-delegated funds.
  • Masternode. Minor display bug. Masternode is created and edited, but now the created masternode is not displayed to the user.

API & SDK

All methods in the SDK are working and are being finalized.
JavaScript: https://bitbucket.org/decimalteam/dsc-js-sdk/src/v45_ethers_v5/

GOLANG: https://bitbucket.org/decimalteam/dsc-go-sdk/src/new-sdk/

Explorer

In explorer.decimalchain.com the display is incorrect in some places, but inside the blockchain all data is correct. Users have not added or removed anything extra, but there are errors that users may encounter:

  • Not all pages show data correctly. Especially TOP100.
  • Fresh blocks are not shown. Transactions to the blockchain pass, but the block service transmits fresh block data to the Explorer with errors….

Many pages have been redesigned and will be gradually updated.

 

The development team is now working on fixing minor bugs, adding missing sections to the console, updating the Decimal Wallet mobile app, and working with projects that collaborate with Decimal.

As a final note, we would like to thank all the users and projects that have been waiting with us for the migration and are now active, asking questions and figuring out how to use the blockchain now. All updates and changes will be posted on Decimal’s official channels.
