Native RenVM withdrawals are now available on https://mainnet.renproject.io/! The Command Center UI now lets network operators withdraw any amount of earnings directly to a native address. If you are withdrawing BTC, you have to specify a Bitcoin address, not an Ethereum address. If you would like to wrap your assets on any host chain that RenVM supports, you can withdraw directly to a deposit gateway address that you generate when visiting https://bridge.renproject.io/ As a result of this upgrade, rewards from the last epoch are now withdrawable on https://mainnet.renproject.io/

🐕 renDOGE liquidity mining is now live on QuickSwap (Polygon)! How to participate 1) Bridge $DOGE to $renDOGE on Polygon with RenBridge: https://bridge.renproject.io/ 2) Deposit $renDOGE into the $renDOGE <> $WETH pool here: https://quickswap.exchange/#/pool 3) Stake the LP token and share in over $5k of daily rewards: https://quickswap.exchange/#/quick

We understand there is some anxiety about the withdrawal of fees for Darknode operators. Rest assured: fees are being correctly collected and stored in RenVM, and the backend has the ability to withdraw fees implemented and well tested. The delay is being caused by the Command Centre UI, which we are still working on, so that Darknode operators can have an intuitively and bug free experience. A bad UI can confuse users and put their funds at risk because of that confusion (e.g. entering the wrong address in the wrong pace). As ever, we prefer to try and get features running as smooth as possible instead of rushing a release. We expect that withdrawals in the Command Centre should be enabled by the end of the week. We understand that this has been inconvenient for some Darknode operators, but we believe the boost in efficiency will be worth it.

RenVM Fee Upgrade RenVM will undergo an upgrade in the coming hours. If you are minting/burning assets via RenVM it may take longer than usual. The upgrade allows storing fees inside RenVM rather than on host chains (e.g. Ethereum), ultimately increasing Darknode rewards. Thank you for your patience, no action is necessary.

RenVM v0.4 Contract Upgrade Notice As part of the RenVM v0.4 upgrade, we will be upgrading the Ethereum contracts for BTC, BCH, and ZEC on Ethereum. The new version is the same as those that have been running smoothly in production for other assets/chains for several months. 1) In order to mitigate any issues during this upgrade, we have deployed a Migration contract (verified on Etherscan - 0x13773093Cdad89e8e1615f581a37c7eeaBb04804) which performs some preliminary checks, runs the upgrade and then verifies that the upgrade worked as expected. 2) The upgrade parameters have already been set in the migration contract so that they can be verified. We have started the seven-day timer to transfer ownership of the contracts to the migration contract, which will then be returned to the timelock within the same block. 3) This upgrade will be deployed to the timelock in the coming days, and will take approximately one week — depending on Ethereum block times — before activation. You can find the new source code here: https://github.com/renproject/darknode-sol 4) No action is needed on the behalf of any integrator or Darknode operator, nor will this change the function of the contract. This is simply to inform projects if they notice the relevant contract updates. Learn more about the RenVM v0.4 upgrade👇 https://tinyurl.com/RenVM
