Recently, Monero experienced a 18-block reorg invalidating 117 transactions.That's potentially 117 users who couldn't use their money when they needed to.We implemented ChainLocks almost seven years ago so our users wouldn't have to deal with this ever again.Every Dash payment is instantly finalized, secure, and permanent. Digital cash as it was intended.Dash (@Dashpay):Dash has deterministic, not probabilistic, finality for transactions! 🧠This makes Dash much more certain and secure than cryptocurrencies w ...

Security & Finality in Cryptocurrency Transactions - Dash offers deterministic finality for transactions, unlike cryptocurrencies relying on probabilistic security [1] - Deterministic security ensures a payment cannot be reversed, while probabilistic security only offers a high likelihood of non-reversal [1] - Dash achieves deterministic security through InstantSend, which instantly locks transactions, and ChainLocks, which locks the first-seen block [2] - Other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash rely on probabilistic security, making them less certain [3] - Even Bitcoin Cash implemented 10-block rolling checkpoints to improve deterministic finality [4] Dash vs Bitcoin - A Dash payment can be more secure than a Bitcoin transaction [1] - Dash payment finality can be achieved in under 2 seconds, faster than Bitcoin [5] - Bitcoin's security relies on a large hashrate, making reorgs unlikely but still possible [5] Industry Perspective - Deterministic finality is essential for secure cryptocurrency transactions [4][6] - Services should configure their nodes to check for InstantSend locks or ChainLocks to ensure payment security [3] - Blockchains offering instant deterministic finality are expected to outperform others [5]

RT MarketAcross (@MarketAcross)It's official: when attacks hit, @Dashpay has your back.To counter Qubic’s dramatic takeover, @monero is adopting Dash’s ChainLocks, securing Dash since 2019 with instant finality + protection against reorgs.As Joel Valenzuela (@TheDesertLynx), Dash DAO Core member, explains: “The Qubic attack is a fascinating experiment… Any ASIC-resistant chain should be worried.”Dash delivers OG protection, and we’re here for it.→ https://t.co/FJhCH53KVy ...

Cryptocurrency Industry Trends - Monero (XMR) community is exploring modifications to its Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to enhance resistance against 51% attacks [1] - The impetus for this consideration stems from recent activity associated with Qubic [1] Proposed Solutions - Proposals include localizing mining hardware [1] - Implementing merged mining to allow XMR to be mined alongside Bitcoin or other major crypto assets [1] - Adopting Dash's ChainLocks solution [1] Dash's ChainLocks Solution - Dash's ChainLocks leverages randomly selected masternodes to reach quorum on the first valid block broadcast by the network [2] - This locks the blockchain ledger, ensuring only blocks verified through the ChainLock system are appended [2] - ChainLocks would function on top of the existing PoW Consensus [2]

Security Features - Dash implements ChainLocks to prevent 51% attacks, secret mining, and selfish mining [1] - Dash offers deterministic finality for transactions, enhancing security compared to cryptocurrencies that rely on block confirmations [1] - A Dash payment may be more secure than a Bitcoin transaction [1]

REMINDER ⏰Exchanges don't need to worry about Dash transactions being reversed. Thanks to InstantSend and ChainLocks, all transactions are deterministically final, instantly.The age of exchanges worrying about reorgs should be over. It can, if we want it to be.Joel Valenzuela (@TheDesertLynx):The Monero security issue got bad enough that Kraken has suspended deposits. 👀Better get a security overhaul done fast! https://t.co/jDsTFZTEYX ...

Security Concerns - The industry emphasizes the need for enhanced security measures in blockchain networks to prevent exploits affecting users [1] - The industry suggests Monero should consider implementing a security feature similar to Dash's ChainLocks [1] - The industry highlights the urgency of addressing security vulnerabilities in blockchain networks by 2025 [1] Technology & Implementation - The industry humorously suggests Monero implementing X11 and masternode-based ChainLocks [1]
