DCR, Decred

Decred v2.0.1 is out! This patch release addresses some initial growing pains of our new decentralized mixing infrastructure and makes the process a lot smoother.

Introduced in 2019 and described in detail in this blog post (blog.decred.org/2019/08/28/I…), Decred's mixing function has been running and providing privacy for DCR holders without incident. Still, with Decred's iterative approach, work to make the system even more bulletproof started almost immediately, with the next step being the exclusion of the need for a central server to coordinate the coin mixing and removing it as a potential single point of failure.

dcrd v2.0.0 introduces the decentralized StakeShuffle mixnet which, in simple terms, means that coin mixing is now coordinated by each and every up-to-date running instance of the dcrd daemon (or full node), making the process fully peer-to-peer. You can download our v2.0.0 wallets for the major platforms at decred.org/wallets/, and for more information about the release and minor tweaks to make it work with existing command-line setups, check out dcrd v2.0.0 release notes (github.com/decred/decred-bin…). Happy mixing!
