DMD Diamond Blockchain Updates — September 2026

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

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

▶️The planned hard fork to recover DMD coins trapped on BitMart was successfully activated with DAO support. Most validators updated their nodes, and the network has remained stable and is operating normally post-hard fork.

The approved state change secured 123,214.74746996 DMD from the identified BitMart custodial address in a DAO-controlled recovery contract.

At the moment, holders whose DMD coins were trapped on BitMart are requested to submit evidence of their balances before the hard fork within the three-month post-hard-fork verification period. The verified claims will form the basis for the subsequent proportional distribution of the recovered DMD among eligible holders.

The detailed guide and requirements for claiming DMD through the BitMart Recovery Process can be found in our community channels (Telegram and Discord) and across our social media channels.

▶️ Diamond UI 2.1 has been released, bringing improvements to UI consistency, user profiles, validator and staking functionality, DAO pages, and the overall user experience.

▶️ Development has resumed on the Axelar integration, which will serve as our first multichain gateway. Current work includes preparing and deploying the necessary contracts, completing the Axelar governance approval process, and validating cross-chain messaging and relaying.

▶️ Research has also expanded into the infrastructure needed to launch a small DMD-native decentralized exchange. The team is evaluating decentralization, relayer architecture, contract ownership and upgradability, stablecoin availability and liquidity requirements, as well as the security differences between locked wrapped assets and alternative cross-chain models.

▶️ For anyone who wants to monitor their service nodes and receive notifications whenever there are changes to stakes, scores, or connectivity reports, we have created a small Telegram bot: https://t.me/dmd_chain_bot.

Delegated stakers can also use the bot to monitor how the validators they have staked with are performing, see what is happening with those validators, and track how their stake grows with each epoch the validator participates in the active set.

Feel free to use it and share your feedback through our 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 capabilities. 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 one of our core features! Other key industry-first capabilities that projects can benefit from by building on the DMD Diamond blockchain include:

✔ EVM Compatibility – Seamlessly deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts
✔ Fast & Low-Cost Transactions – Optimized for speed and efficiency
✔ Dynamic Block Time & 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

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

▶️ We are now in the third phase of the DMDv4 airdrop claiming process. 50% of your DMDv3 snapshot coin balance is currently claimable as DMDv4 coins, in accordance with the v4 Whitepaper.

Claiming guide: https://github.com/DMDcoin/whitepaper/wiki/I.-Claiming-v4-coins-User-Guide

The DMDv4 airdrop claiming timeline for DMDv4 coins, based on pre-existing DMDv3 snapshot coin balances, is as follows:

👉 First 3 months: 100% claim – ended (October 13, 2025 – January 13, 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 both the signature and the exact message used to generate it into the claiming UI without adding any spaces, tabs, or other characters. This is essential to claim your DMDv4 coins. Here is also the link to the DMDv3 snapshot coin balances: https://github.com/DMDcoin/whitepaper/wiki/T.-Mainnet-Snapshot

▶️ Remember, as a community-driven blockchain, increasing DMD Diamond’s buy pressure and overall liquidity on the exchanges where DMD is listed is a shared community effort if we want to support a higher market price. Likewise, keeping the ecosystem at the forefront of the future of heterogeneous and interoperable blockchains requires our collective participation.

We therefore look forward to your suggestions and contributions toward improving DMD’s code development and documentation on GitHub: https://github.com/dmdcoin

▶️ Again, we are a transparent and open-source ecosystem. We embrace completely open development, with transparent issues and project boards that allow the community to see ongoing work and development priorities.
