Djed Development Update - September

As part of our continuous improvement process, we’ve recently performed an upgrade to Djed’s code. This update comes with a host of process flow optimizations, a lowering of the minimum mint and burn requirements for DJED and SHEN, as well as a reduction in operational fees.

We are happy to share with you the latest updates about Djed:

Chain Index Optimization

Chain Index is an application that synchronizes the state of the Djed protocol on the Cardano network into an SQL database. It is used to both determine price and quote transaction costs while considering the current state and any pending orders. With this update, the errors of invalid exchange rates will be reduced, thus improving performance. This upgraded version also achieves an improvement in the robustness and scalability of the chain index.

Pub User Upgrade

Pub User is an application that assists with producing orders and reflecting the current state of each participating wallet that owns DJED/SHEN. With this upgrade, the pub user application has been improved, providing an increase in responsiveness, performance and scalability.

DJED & SHEN Minimums and Operational Fees Reduced

After testing and optimizing the performance of the platform, the final update aims to incentivize more users to participate in the protocol. To achieve this, we’ve made several changes to both our operational fees and the minimum amounts of DJED or SHEN that can be minted or burned. The updated conditions are as follows:

1. New minimum minting and burning amount for SHEN: 200 SHEN.

2. New minimum minting and burning amount for DJED: 200 DJED.

3. Reduced operator fee: 5 ADA.

Holding SHEN already carries some impressive incentives (protocol mint/burn fees, delegation rewards, DeFi APR’s etc.). We believe that with the new lowered minimums for minting SHEN, along with the operational fee reduction, the incentives will be even greater, helping to bring more liquidity to the platform.
