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

Release Highlights<\/h2>\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
