Dash Mandatory upgrade to v 13.0

[ZionRTZ]

Dash Core Group is pleased to share that Dash Core v0.13.0 binaries are released and ready for deployment on mainnet by node operators.

This software release focuses on improving consensus methods on the Dash network, and includes the following highlights:

💨 Automatic InstantSend, which will improve the speed of most transactions at no additional cost;

📝 The deterministic masternode list, which will provide a single source of truth for clients validating transactions;

🗝🗝🗝 3 masternode keys: owner, operator and voting;

💥 Special transactions to accommodate non-financial transactions on the blockchain; and

🛡 Several improvements to private transactions, including speeding up the mixing process, as well as introducing an additional denomination of .001 Dash.

Read more about these features in the Dash Core v0.13.0 Product Brief and download the binaries from the Dash website.

The changes included in this major upgrade will serve as the foundation for Dash Evolution, a decentralized payments platform build on top of the Dash blockchain. Dash already offers instant, peer-to-peer payments with micro-fees and is accepted by thousands of merchants worldwide. Dash Evolution aims to make ours the most user friendly blockchain-based payments platform in the world. Evolution will provide businesses and developers with the ability to build user-friendly, Venmo-like applications that allow people to create accounts with customized user names instead of cryptographic addresses to exchange Dash. Additionally, Evolution will enable developers to build decentralized applications without the infrastructure needed to run a full node, made possible through decentralized hosting. As part of Dash Evolution, Dash Core Group, Inc. plans to release its own consumer-facing payments app (called “DashPay”) to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities.
