Dash officially announced on the X platform that its Evolution chain has officially launched and started producing blocks. The Evolution chain has now started executing data contracts and sending files to decentralized storage. It is understood that Evolution is a decentralized application platform that allows developers to build applications based on fast, easy and reliable decentralized data access. The platform consists of four main elements: Platform chain, data contract, data storage and decentralized API (DAPI). The initial application of Evolution includes Dash Platform Name Service (DPNS) and DashPay payment application contract, which aims to provide users with a more intuitive payment experience while ensuring data ownership and privacy. Dash said that the Genesis version already includes all the above features as well as non-fungible token (NFT) support. In the future, it will further improve network stability, launch DPNS and DashPay, and develop alternative token support and improve throughput.
