In keeping with our commitment to more iterative releases, Dash Core Group is proud to announce a new Dash Platform release, which includes a significant update to Evonet, the testing environment for platform functionality. This release represents the specific combination of platform components that comprises our most up-to-date software. The most important consequence of this release will be the update to Evonet, but individuals will also be able to experiment with the software in other environments<\/a> such as local development or a private devnet.<\/p>\n In our article<\/a> describing the initial Evonet release, we outlined several, non-sequential phases for future development. The current phase, Secure the Platform, involves broad enhancements to security, with a main focus on improving light client support by integrating LLMQ\u2019s<\/a> into the platform consensus mechanism. While the light client work is still ongoing, we have made significant security improvements that enable anyone to create and register data contracts, thereby unlocking the potential to use Dash Platform as a decentralized, consensus-backed Database-as-a-Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n Breaking changes were introduced via this release, which made data previously created on Evonet incompatible with this newest version. Therefore, we wiped Evonet of all preexisting data, and developers will need to wipe any data stored on their local setup as well.<\/p>\n Below you\u2019ll find a list of the most important updates included in the Platform v0.11 release. You can view all of the updates in greater detail by visiting the release notes for each platform component, which are included in the last section of this article.<\/p>\n Dash Core Group develops software in alignment with the Scrum<\/a> framework. We develop software by breaking down our process into recurring 2-week cycles. Each cycle begins by identifying the work we want to accomplish, and we end the cycle with an internal presentation and team reflection on how to improve in the future. In the spirit of this continuous improvement process<\/a>, we have identified a need for greater transparency with the community. In achieving this transparency, we hope to build trust, better manage delivery expectations, and increase developer participation in our repositories. In the near future, DCG will be releasing another blog post outlining our plan for greater transparency, as well as updating the community about the platform roadmap. Some of this information will also be shared in the next quarterly call.<\/p>\n In conclusion, I\u2019d like to thank the members of the platform team, the other members of DCG who supported this release, and the burgeoning developer community providing feedback on Reddit and Discord. Through our combined effort, we will continue to evolve the Dash network into a best-in-class payments network.<\/p>\nRelease Highlights<\/h2>\n
