1. Background IntroductionDeFiChain is a Bitcoin-forked blockchain project focused on decentralized finance (DeFi), launched in 2019 by Dr. Julian Hosp's team. It aims to build a DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin's secure foundation while retaining its UTXO model and expanding financial functionalities. Key team members include U-Zyn Chua (former Bitcoin Core developer) as CTO and Roger Ver (early Bitcoin advocate) as a technical advisor.2. Website Core ContentThe website features three main sections: Beginner Guides for wallet setup, Product Explorer showcasing 12 DeFi applications (including lending/DEX), and Developer Resources with JS/Python tools. Live data shows block height at 5,821,037, average transaction fee of 0.0002 DFI (~$0.0008), and DEX daily volume reaching $12M.3. Technical FeaturesBitcoin Anchoring: SPV verification for Bitcoin network interoperabilityMasternode System: Requires KYC-approved operators with 215K DFI dynamic collateralNon-Turing Complete: Supports specialized functions like atomic swaps/oracles/tokenized stocks4. Token EconomicsDFI token has 1.2B total supply with 69.2% circulating. Uses gradual halving (1.5% reward reduction per 105K blocks), current annual inflation 9.8%. Allocation: 55% mining rewards, 15% team (4-year vesting), 30% ecosystem fund. Staking yields 23.7%-42.3% APY (variable by lock-up period).5.
