## What is [DeFiChain](https://defichain.com)?

DeFiChain’s primary vision is to enable decentralized finance with Bitcoin-grade security, strength and immutability.
It's a blockchain dedicated to fast, intelligent and transparent financial services, accessible by everyone.

For more information:

- Visit the [DeFiChain website](https://defichain.com)
- Read our [white-paper](https://defichain.com/white-paper/)

Downloadable binaries are available from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/DeFiCh/ain/releases) page.

> **NOTE**: _master_ branch is a development branch and is not suitable for production. Please download [tagged releases](https://github.com/DeFiCh/ain/releases) or compile from the release tags.

### Bitcoin Core

DeFiChain is a fork on [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) from
commit [7d6f63c](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/7d6f63cc2c2b9c4f07a43619eef0b7314474fffd) – which is slightly
after v0.18.1 of Bitcoin Core.

DeFiChain has done significant modifications from Bitcoin Core, for instance:

- Moving from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake
- Masternode model
- Community fund support
- Bitcoin blockchain block anchoring
- Increased decentralized financial transaction and opcode support, etc.
- Configuration defaults (mainnet ports: `8555/4`, testnet ports: `18555/4`, changi ports: `20554/4`, devnet ports: `21554/4`, regnet ports: `19555/4` etc)

Merges from upstream (Bitcoin Core) will be done selectively if it applies to the improved functionality and security of
DeFiChain.
