Stay informed and dive into our Q3 2024 recap from the Komodo team. We are on a mission to connect and bridge all blockchain protocols. Follow our progress and join us as we develop cutting-edge DEX technology.
MoonFi Launch
MoonFi – a cross-chain/protocol DEX, crypto bridge, and non-custodial wallet for the Cosmos community – launched on September 17.
Users can now trade coins like ATOM with popular cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH without using a centralized exchange.
MoonFi is permissionless, non-custodial, and decentralized and thus doesn’t require any user-side KYC.
Its code is 100% open source and publicly available. Additionally, the Komodo team encourages blockchain developers to fork the codebase and create their own wallet/DEX applications.
Komodo v0.9.0 [Drogon] Network Upgrade
On October 5, 2024, the Komodo blockchain network will upgrade to v0.9.0 [Drogon].
If you are an exchange or developer and run the Komodo daemon, please make sure to update to v0.9.0 ASAP.
This release includes the newly elected notary node pubkeys for S8 (Season 8), along with other important consensus changes and improvements such as KIP0002 (KMD Block Reward Reduction) and KIP0003 (KMD Transaction Fee Burn), both of which were voted on and accepted by the Komodo community.
