Change stake difficulty algorithm as defined in DCP0001

Specifies a proposed replacement algorithm for determining the stake difficulty (commonly called the ticket price). This proposal resolves all issues with a new algorithm that adheres to the referenced ideals.

Request developers begin work on Lightning Network (LN) integration

The Lightning Network is the most directly useful application of smart contracts to date since it allows for off-chain transactions that optionally settle on-chain. This infrastructure has clear benefits for both scaling and privacy. Decred is optimally positioned for this integration.

Enable features defined in DCP0002 and DCP0003 necessary to support Lightning Network (LN)

The Lightning Network is the most directly useful application of smart contracts to date since it allows for off-chain transactions that optionally settle on-chain. This infrastructure has clear benefits for both scaling and privacy. Decred is optimally positioned for this integration.

Modify sequence lock handling as defined in DCP0004

In order to fully support the Lightning Network, the current sequence lock consensus rules need to be modified.

Enable header commitments as defined in DCP0005

Proposed modifications to the Decred block header to increase the security and efficiency of lightweight clients, as well as adding infrastructure to enable future scalability enhancements.

Enable decentralized Treasury opcodes as defined in DCP0006

In May 2019, Decred stakeholders approved the development of a proposed solution to further decentralize the process of spending from the Decred treasury.

Change maximum treasury expenditure policy as defined in DCP0007

Change the algorithm used to calculate Treasury spending limits such that it enforces the policy originally approved by stakeholders in the Decentralized Treasury proposal.

Enable explicit version upgrades as defined in DCP0008

Modifications to Decred transaction and scripting language version enforcement which will simplify deployment and integration of future consensus changes across the Decred ecosystem.

Enable automatic ticket revocations as defined in DCP0009

Changes to ticket revocation transactions and block acceptance criteria in order to enable automatic ticket revocations, significantly improving the user experience for stakeholders.

Change block reward subsidy split to 10/80/10 as defined in DCP0010

Proposal to modify to the block reward subsidy split such that 10% goes to Proof-of-Work and 80% goes to Proof-of-Stake.

Change proof of work hashing algorithm to BLAKE3 as defined in in DCP0011

Stakeholders voted to change the Proof-of-Work hash function to BLAKE3. This consensus change will also update the difficulty algorithm to ASERT (Absolutely Scheduled Exponentially weighted Rising Targets).

Change block reward subsidy split to 1/89/10 as defined in DCP0012

Modify the block reward subsidy split such that 1% goes to Proof-of-Work (PoW) and 89% goes to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The Treasury subsidy remains at 10%.
