Today, we would like to celebrate the first anniversary of Dune Network! On June 24, 2019, the genesis block of Dune Network was created. Since then, more than 400,000 blocks have been validated by our growing community of bakers!

If you haven’t heard of Dune Network yet, a brief recap: Dune Network is a public blockchain, one of the only working Liquid Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus protocols, Emmy+, inherited from Tezos, extended to feature multiple smart contract languages, easy accessibility, easy private chain creation, and tooling for application developers.

This first year has been tremendous in terms of achievements!

  • The Mainnet was launched successfully in September 2019, with an airdrop of about 27,000 accounts from Tezos.
  • A full ecosystem has been built, with DunScan, the wonderful block-explorer formerly known as TzScan, Metal, the browser extension à la Metamask with Ledger/Trezor support, LiqEdit, the online smart-contract editor.
  • Three protocol upgrades have been performed, providing many new features in the nodes, including Love, a new internal smart contract language (much easier to read and write than Michelson and still well suited for formal verification!) Ironmin, a faster, more efficient storage layer, and of course many other features designed to make the life of Dune users and developers so much easier!

Of course, there is still much to do and being done: support for the Solidity language will be included in the next months, on-chain elections of the Dune Council before the end of the year, private transactions, all of this on the tech front alone! And on the business front, following the launch of Dune Playground, we are working with several partners to bring some very interesting applications to Dune!

Happy Birthday Dune Network and a big thank to all its users and contributors!
