DeFi Blockchain is a fork on Bitcoin Core from commit 7d6f63c – which is slightly after v0.18.1 of Bitcoin Core.

DeFi Blockchain has done significant modifications from Bitcoin Core, for instance:

• Moving from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake
• Masternode model
• Community fund support
• Bitcoin blockchain block anchoring
• Increased decentralized financial transaction and opcode support, etc.
• Configuration defaults (mainnet ports: 8555/4, testnet ports: 18555/4, regnet ports: 19555/4, etc)

Merges from upstream (Bitcoin Core) will be done selectively if it applies to the improved functionality and security of DeFi Blockchain.

• Running a node
• Running a node with docker
• Running a masternode
• Building from scratch
