More details about the Cumulative Update to the Mainnet


Hello, D.Buzz development enthusiasts!

Last week, we posted about the Mainnet update and just how genuinely epic the update is. However, (we blame the content writer) we did not fully talk about the scope of this update. Today, we wanted to speak in more depth about this MASSIVE update to the main D.Buzz platform, and what it means for D.Buzz.

Total improvements, features and fixes = 64+ updates being rolled out to the main network D.Buzz.


  • Note: All the line items above were battle-tested on our public testing network Next.D.Buzz. Only after proving they are stable and not causing more bugs, we round them up and publish them all to D.Buzz, which is our central stable platform.


With this big push now complete, we can now take advantage of the new features and improve the overall experience for our users.

As mentioned last week as well, the next phase is to redesign the DBuzz code to make use of the latest technology.

The next phase of rollout for DBuzz 4.0 will be along these lines:

  • Work on the UI part (mobile-first approach)

  • Work on the new backend for our deliverability

  • Work on the frontend API integration part

  • Complete the v4 UI, Functionality, and Backend

Testing Phase

  • Launch the v4 on Testnet

  • Launch the v4 on Mainnet

We are estimating that this will take around 3 to 4 months, but may go faster when we allocate additional resources to development in a few months.

All very exciting, and we hope you are as excited as we are about this!
