DeFiChain News (Week 48)

2025-11-27

The community has been quite active the last few weeks. In this blog post, we will share a summary of the events.

Tokenomics Discussion

The community in the DeFiChain Future channel (https://t.me/DeFiChainFuture) has been actively debating the changes, if any, that should be made to create a functioning RWA system on DeFiChain. As DeFiChain’s primary usecase, the successful implementation of this system would boost the value provided by DeFiChain in the crypto space. This type of decentralized ecosystem has not been found anywhere else, which would make this RWA system particularly special.

Here are some of the topics that have been discussed:

Locking 99.999% of the tokens that are currently present in the RWA system
Implementing the Future Swap (FS) with limitations

Limit the Future Swap to a total volume of 10% of the average liquidity of the last 28 days in the corresponding liquidity pair. For example, if a pool averages 1 million dUSD and 10 000 dMSTR of liquidity, only 100 000 dUSD and 1 000 dMSTR may be swapped in a particular Future Swap block. This proposal already passed in November 2022 (DFIP #238) but was not implemented.
Block the future swap from creating algorithmic dUSD if the algorithmic ratio would be greater than 0% after the swap.

Applying a 0.1% DEX fee on pools that contain dUSD, which is completely burned
Dynamic Interest

The proposal DFIP-2206-E to begin dynamic interest was passed in June 2022 but was not implemented. The goal of dynamic interest is to regulate the price of dUSD by encouraging people to borrow or repay their dUSD. When the stablecoin is at a premium, interest rates should decrease so that people borrow more dUSD and sell it to reduce the premium. When dUSD is in a discount, interest rates should increase so that people buy dUSD and repay their loans to reduce the discount.

Stability Fund (SF)

With the arrival of dUSDC on DeFiChain, the Stability Fund will become possible for DeFiChain. The Stability Fund supports dUSD’s peg by allowing users opportunities to arbitrage the stablecoin, reducing or increasing the supply accordingly. When the price of dUSD is too high, users can deposit dUSDC and mint dUSD at a premium, which they can sell in the liquidity pools at a higher premium for a profit. In contrast, if there is dUSDC available in the Stability Fund, users can buy dUSD at a discount, and redeem their dUSD at a discount through the Stability Fund at a smaller discount.

To be clear, these features are only in the discussion stage, and must be more thoroughly discussed on Telegram and Reddit, before they can be included in a DFIP for voting.

The community also discussed these topics, but doesn’t see them as viable for implementation at the moment:

Dynamic Fees

When assets trade at premiums, dynamic fees would penalize buying and incentivize selling. When assets trade at discounts, dynamic fees incentivize buying and penalize selling. This was not considered for implementation because it would be difficult to distinguish how the mechanism affects the RWA system and how it interacts with the other mechanisms. It would then be hard to attribute what mechanism is causing problems, if problems came up, or which one is helping to stabilize the system.

The community also considered how to unlock the funds as the system becomes healthy and has room for more tokens. Various ideas have been proposed, but none have become widely approved by the community so far.

The most important takeaway from the discussion is that it is a nuanced topic, and takes hours of messaging to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different ideas. A summary, such as this one, cannot accurately capture all of the detail that the discussion provides. This should not discourage you from participating; you are a part of the community as well. Respectful, constructive feedback is crucial to changing the tokenomics of DeFiChain. Properly choosing and implementing these features is crucial to DeFiChain’s success.

dNFLX Stock Split

On Monday, November 17, the Netflix 10-for-1 stock split took place. However, the Token Economy SIG did not catch the split in time and therefore did not provide the necessary information to the Oracle SIG as required. Fortunately, the situation did not cause any issues on the DEX.

This is the statement published by the SIG:

As mentioned, we are analyzing how this situation could have happened and how we can avoid similar cases in the future.

We already have a process in place that should reliably report stock related information such as splits, ticker name changes or decomissions. Unfortunately this process did not work as expected which is why the NFLX split was not flagged and therefore not communicated to the Oracle team in time.

We are currently evaluating alternatives and improvements. If anyone in the community knows trustworthy sources or services that deliver push notifications for technical stock corporate actions... such as splits, rebrandings or delistings... please let us know. Any input is very welcome and will help us make our processes more robust.

Thank you once again for your understanding and support.

Sincerely

Token Economy SIG

Most importantly, all funds on DeFiChain are safe.

Crypto Factor Developments

Crypto Factor’s involvement on DeFiChain, mainly DeFiMetaChain, has helped secure the network with its DFI staking service, create two more projects on DeFiChain, connect DeFiChain with the Polygon network, and soon, reintroduce a tokenized stablecoin, dUSDC, to native DeFiChain.

New Crypto Factor dApp

The Crypto Factor team has announced via social media the release of a new version of its dApp: It’s faster, cleaner, and designed to function effectively on multiple chains.

The entire dApp has been redesigned from scratch to work seamlessly across all ecosystems, with a minimalist and precise design that puts functionality first.

The dApp is multi-chain ready. The completely reconfigured wallet connections now feature automatic detection between networks, so users can easily manage and know where their assets are in the ecosystem.
The dApp simplifies bridging. Bridging opens a direct gateway to Interchain, allowing CFR to move freely between the blockchains we serve.
The dApp integrates the DEX. The Swap feature replaces “Get CFR” with a fully decentralized exchange interface for seamlessly buying, selling, and swapping assets.

The implementation of the Partisia Blockchain partial chain is complete, and zkCross integration is now in its final testing phase, paving the way for full compatibility of dApps with DeFiChain and these blockchains.

The new Crypto Factor dApp is not just an update, but paves the way for further connection between DeFiChain and other blockchains.

Crypto Factor Milestones

Crypto Factor announced that it has successfully completed the first milestone of the Polygon Labs Grant, marking steady progress in providing Interchain connectivity and TVL token ecosystem infrastructure on Polygon. This milestone confirms the technical progress made by the team in creating scalable and verifiable digital systems that enable creators, projects, and companies to easily launch and manage on-chain ecosystems.

The next phase will focus on the following tasks, to name a few:

Expanding customer ecosystems
Designing the new cAsset suite, including cPOL, as part of the upcoming Native Chain Staking solution.

These developments help DeFiChain. Many of Crypto Factor’s client ecosystems are involved in the DeFiChain ecosystem, and the cAsset suite provides an opportunity to introduce new assets to DeFiChain, such as dUSDC.

Dex Trading Live - Status Update on cUSDC/dUSDC and the Vanilla UI

In the week beginning the 17th of November, the very first dUSDC was wrapped from cUSDC on testnet. Development is still ongoing to ensure that DeFiChain receives a native dUSDC/DFI pool and the respective wrapper on the EVM side. Unfortunately, there is a delay of about two weeks before this can be implemented on chain. The reason is simple:

On the 2nd of November Vanilla Labs informed the community that the VanillaSwap UI would sunset on the 24th of November. In order to ensure that all community members would continue to have access to a working and easy to use interface for swaps on the EVM DEX, the DTL Team decided to step in and build a replacement frontend as quickly and as simply as possible.

This was an unexpected emergency situation... and it required the DTL Team to temporarily shift resources away from DTL and dUSDC development in order to support the broader DeFiChain ecosystem. The cost of this “defichain community first” decision is a delay of about two weeks in the introduction of dUSDC and the same delay on the DTL agenda.

The new UI is currently being tested and feedback is being collected. You can find the UI here: https://defichaincommunity.github.io/cAssets_dToken_wrapper/

It is already running in production mode, in case you want to check it out. Please be aware there may still be minor bugs.
