▶️ The DMDv4 mainnet remains stable and operational. All thanks to all of us who are validators and delegate stakers on the network. Multichain integration remains our top priority. Hence, Axelar integration is in progress, and research is also ongoing for a second cross-bridge solution to ensure network resilience. We are also preparing for on-chain DEX functionality and defining a stablecoin pairing strategy.

▶️ We are still in the second phase of DMDv4 airdrop claiming for v4 coins. 75% of your DMDv3 snapshot coin balances are claimable on the v4 airdrop for v4 coins now, as agreed with the v4 whitepaper. The claiming guide: https://github.com/DMDcoin/whitepaper/wiki/I.-Claiming-v4-coins-User-Guide

▶️ The Diamond-UI v2 is ready for soft launch! We are preparing a soft launch on ui2.bit.diamonds, running in parallel with the current UI: https://ui.bit.diamonds. The UI v2 is now feature-complete. After the final internal mainnet testing and validator confirmations, we will announce the official switch.

▶️ The DMD Diamond Association Chairman, Helmut Siedl, spoke with AltCoinDesk to share his thoughts on Layer-1 blockchains, the importance of continual innovation in the crypto industry, the role of privacy-focused blockchains, and more.

▶️ Here’s a reminder that the DMD Diamond blockchain (DMDv4) is a fully EVM-compatible Layer 1 ecosystem, aimed at developers and project builders who want to take advantage of its industry-first abilities. This is made possible by our implementation of the world’s first cooperative HBBFT consensus, supplemented by the POSDAO validator election mechanism.

Here are the key industry-first abilities your projects gain by running on top of the DMD Diamond blockchain:

✔ EVM Compatibility – Seamlessly deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts

✔ Fast & Low-Cost Transactions – Optimized for speed and efficiency

✔ Dynamic Blocktime & Instant Finality – No waiting, no rollbacks

✔ Fully Decentralized & DAO-Governed – A blockchain owned by its community

✔ Enhanced Security & Censorship Resistance – Built for the future

✔ Improved Randomness & Front-Running Prevention – Fairer for all users

It is a permissionless blockchain that allows you to deploy your smart contract or project on top of it. The DMD Diamond blockchain has been community-driven, without a pre-mine or ICO. It had a similar fair launch to Bitcoin and has existed since 2013, with a finite maximum supply of 4.38 million native DMD Diamond coins in circulation. You can learn more in our Whitepaper: https://github.com/DMDcoin/whitepaper/wiki/A.-Home

▶️ The DMD Diamond grant program is still active! It aims to support the development of new decentralized applications (dApps) and tools on top of our ecosystem. The initiative seeks to expand the DMD Diamond ecosystem through projects in DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, and other areas.

Teams with creative and practical solutions can receive funding of up to $5,000, and the best project will be awarded a full validator node with 10,000 DMD. The program fosters the creation of a secure, decentralized, and scalable network. More details on how to apply for the grant can be found here: https://diamonddmd.com/

▶️ Please stay informed about the v4 airdrop claiming timeline for DMDv4 coins (swapped in a 1:1 manner with preexisting v3 snapshot coin balances):

👉 The first 3 months for 100% v4 airdrop claim for v4 coins has ended (DMDv4 mainnet launch date of Oct 13th, 2025 – January 13th, 2026)

👉 Months 3–6: 75% claim (which now extends from January 13th, 2025 – April 13th, 2026)

👉 Months 6–60: 50% claim

👉 After 60 months: 0% claim

Note: When interacting with your DMDv3 wallet, ensure that an “I” signature is generated. Copy the signature and the message that generated it exactly—without additional spaces, tabs, or characters—into the claiming UI to claim your v4 coins successfully.

▶️ Remember, as a community-driven blockchain, it is our shared community effort to increase DMD Diamond’s buy-pressure and overall liquidity on exchanges where the coin is listed if we want a higher price. Additionally, the ecosystem requires our collaborative efforts to stay ahead of the future of heterogeneous, interoperable blockchains. Therefore, we look forward to your suggestions for improving the code development and documentation on GitHub: https://github.com/dmdcoin

▶️ Again, we are a transparent and open-source ecosystem. We embrace complete, open development with transparent issues and boards that prioritize tasks.
