Another month of active development has come to a close. Here are the developments that took place on the blockchain in August 2026 👇

▶️ The Layer-1 DMDv4 continues to run smoothly. Thanks to all validators and delegated stakers participating in securing the blockchain.

▶️ We released an improved version of the Diamond-UI (Diamond-UI 2.0), which came with the first complete version of the DMD Diamond Naming System. The Naming System brings human-readable .dmd identities directly into the DMD Diamond ecosystem. Users can now create and manage unique DMD names as on-chain NFTs and use them as their identity across supported areas of Diamond-UI. The second version of the Naming System will come with abilities that allow seamless mapping to real Web2/Web3 subdomains (e.g yourname.dmd.domains) alongside native email forwarding (e.g yourname@dmd.domains).

Beyond the Naming System, Diamond-UI release 2.0 came with a range of smaller improvements, including:

– Validator and staking data, statistics, and presentation improvements

– DAO proposal, voting, notification, and usability improvements

– Wallet, navigation, UI consistency, general bug fixes, etc.

▶️ We are working actively on completing Axelar integration with the DMD Diamond chain. The DevNet was just set up. After the fork work is completed, the team will continue advancing the integration from the current DevNet setup toward Axelar Testnet. This will include further validation of cross-chain messaging, relaying requirements, and the infrastructure needed for a reliable production-ready integration. Afterwards, Axelar will become our first multichain gateway.

▶️ Please stay active on the Discord, especially if you are a validator node owner. In a few days, you will be shared with guideline that will be visible on GitHub, on how to update your node as per the network update preparation towards getting stuck DMD coins out.

▶️ We are still evaluating multiple decentralized exchanges framework for potential reuse. The research outcome will pave the way for the most viable foundation for a DMD-native swap system.

▶️ Again, anyone who wants to monitor their service nodes and get notified if anything changes regarding stakes, scores, or connectivity reports, we have created a small Telegram bot for that – https://t.me/dmd_chain_bot. Also, delegate stakers who want to see how the validator they staked on top performs can utilize it, see what is happening, and see how the stake on that validator grows each epoch it is part of the active set.

Feel free to use it if you want and give us feedback on community channels!

▶️ 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.

MEV-Resistant technology is our core feature! other 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

▶️ We are now in the third phase of DMDv4 airdrop claiming for v4 coins. 50% 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 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 (ended)

👉 Months 6–60: 50% claim (ongoing)

👉 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.
