Release Highlights include: GroveDB, Verifiable Document Secondary Indices, Data Contract update, Masternode Identities, Inter-Validator Set Communication<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Dash Core Group is pleased to announce the release of Dash Platform v0.22 on testnet. <\/span>This version comes with an updated storage backend employing an in-house solution called GroveDB – a hierarchical and cryptographically provable database. It also contains an implementation of Masternode Identities which will allow Masternodes to receive financial rewards for their services on the Platform chain; the exact details of this feature are being built out in v0.23. Additionally, this version introduces data contract update functionality as well as technical improvements related to dependencies and Platform components such as Tenderdash consensus, Dashmate utility, and the JavaScript SDK.<\/span><\/p>\n The new release involves several breaking changes which make previous Platform data invalid. Therefore, previous Platform testnet state data has been wiped. The Layer 1 Core chain testnet remains untouched, keeping the history of test payment transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n To update your testnet node please <\/span>update the distribution package and reset platform data<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Important note for developers: the Platform team reorganized the code base and code workflow in order to improve development speed. Most of the Platform components have been moved to one single <\/span>mono-repository<\/span><\/a> on GitHub.<\/span><\/p>\n We encourage you to come to watch and participate in our <\/span>Dash Platform Product Review<\/span><\/a> right after the v0.22 testnet deployment. There, our team will summarize the entire upgrade provided with the new version and present some use cases that are enabled by the new improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n Dash Platform teams are preparing for the last functional pre-mainnet release – Platform v0.23, which will introduce the Fee System, Masternode rewards distribution, Credit withdrawal transitions (enabling users to convert their Credits on the Platform chain to Dash on the Core chain), and some data serialization improvements handled by Dash Platform Protocol.<\/span><\/p>\n Big kudos to the community for their active and serious involvement in Platform development and testing – thanks to you we were able to deploy a significantly more stable testnet than the previous versions.<\/span><\/p>\n Follow the Dash blog and social media channels (especially <\/span>Youtube<\/span><\/a>) for more announcements and updates, and as usual – your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\nRelease Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/h1>\n
