Updates

One of the most important updates in Q1 was the Store&Earn program rebalancing.

  • Introduction of dynamic Balance reward;
  • Updated boosts with a maximum of 10;
  • Changes to the referral reward.

The program’s updated rewarding system, based on individual contributions, was positively received by the community and continues attracting even more members.

In Q1, DeNet Storage experienced numerous upgrades, culminating in the release of v. 1.14.1. Beyond the enhancements in UX&UI, application stability, and bug fixes, improvements include:

  • A resolution to user-reported payment issues;
  • Enhanced file search functionality;
  • Language optimization within the app.

Most notably, there was a 20–30% increase in upload speed. As a decentralized storage solution, the app is continuously improved to ensure users enjoy the most seamless experience possible.

DeNet Payments update improved performance and added features for Datakeepers, such as activity display, rental period, and security warnings to assert their ID, ensuring a smoother and worry-free node management experience.

The DeNet website now features a new section: Datakeepers. This section offers public analytics of the Datakeeper network, designed to increase transparency in DeNet’s development. The current version presents the status of nodes, the shared capacity, and a map of the Datakeeper network.
