🚀 HUGE MILESTONE: The @ConcealNetwork Sidechain has successfully launched in our internal testnet!

Once public, you'll be able to lock assets like $wCCX on Polygon and mint 1:1 backed tokens on the sidechain.

Happy 8th Birthday, Concealers! 🥂 Eight years goes by so fast, and we are thrilled to celebrate this milestone by announcing the official release of Conceal-Desktop version 6.7.7! 🎉 You can download the latest version and upgrade your setup here: github.com/ConcealNetwork/co… We have no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The team is currently in the middle of testing a massive network upgrade designed to expand the ecosystem and give you more control over your digital lives. Here is a sneak peek at what is included: - Storage upgrades to improve overall network capacity. - Sidechain integrations offering new ways to earn Conceal outside of traditional mining. - Wallet enhancements for a smoother, more intuitive user experience. - Blockchain-based DNS integration (yes, alice.conceal will soon be a reality). - Various other backend improvements and upcoming features. Thank you for eight amazing years of support, feedback, and dedication to privacy. We will not stop building until we have complete autonomy over our digital lives! ✊

Hello Concealers! Time for our Bi-Weekly Dev Update! 🚀 A lot has happened over the last few weeks, and we have some exciting progress to share. First, we are thrilled to welcome back .@_nullcrypto to the development team. Hats off to him for working relentlessly to push Conceal into the stratosphere as a pioneer in the crypto privacy space. Here is what the team has been working on to improve the ecosystem: - Conceal-Core 6.7.4 is now officially released, squashing a few bugs and bringing various under-the-hood improvements. - A massive backend rewrite by nullcrypto restructures our data with MDBX and enables sidechains for Conceal while staying strictly true to our privacy standards. - You can review the technical details of the upcoming MDBX update here: github.com/nullcryptodev/con… - Conceal-Desktop 6.7.4 is currently in the testing phase, so please join the beta testers to be part of the revolution. - A brand new front end for the Conceal Community pool is in the works, huge thanks to БОМБ ОН. Please make sure to update your core software when you can. As always, we will not stop building until we achieve complete autonomy over our digital lives! 🛡️

I promise you've never seen this stuff with CN before. No more waiting for wallet scans! The conceal-rpc is just that good and it ought to be after the entire rewrite to the core. Everything I've mention is unique to Conceal. No forks and no other coin is using this.

A member of our community got curious and this is where EMV has treated your mindsets poorly. UTXO is the way forward. Combine that with @ConcealNetwork's crypto primitives and you have a solid foundation for everything else. The technology is there, let's build on it.

Hello Concealers and Privacy Accelerationists! What started as an ambitious idea is no longer just a fever dream. We are thrilled to announce that our sidechain is now 100% working on our internal testnet! With this infrastructure falling into place, it's time to start thinking big. The network is ready, so the ultimate question is: Who will be the first to launch a $1M marketcap token on Conceal? 👀 For the builders out there, the code has officially been pushed to our GitHub for you to explore. Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to public release. We won't stop building until our privacy ecosystem is unstoppable. Let's get building! 🛠️✊

Its also worth noting Monero, the largest Cryptonote project, is still working on its sidechain (Tari) while we've already got one running with a BFT consensus, token creation, and multi-validator sync so far.

Hello Concealers! Get ready for a massive performance upgrade. We are bringing a major speed boost to the Conceal daemon with a new MDBX database backend! ⚡️ 📉 Sync times dropping from 24 hours to just 1–3 hours 💾 Replaces old file storage with memory-mapped files to fix I/O bottlenecks ⚙️ 100% Optional to use 🧪 Currently in testing (not production-ready yet) Early results are incredibly promising for both new users and those running nodes on older hardware. As always, we will not stop building until we have complete autonomy over our digital lives! ✊

🚀 Bi-Weekly ⚙️ Dev Update 🛠️ The Conceal Marketplace just got a massive engine update! We've leveled up security, compatibility, and usability to make buying, selling, and trading with $CCX smoother than ever. Start building the private circular economy today: conceal.network/marketplace/ List your stuff. Buy what you need. Pay how you want. No KYC. No middleman. No BS.
