After four years of community-driven development, we’re thrilled to announce that the Geelong upgrade—our most ambitious scaling effort yet—is set to hit mainnet in the coming days. With this milestone, Dingocoin will leap from ~33 transactions per second to ~330 TPS, transforming our network into a powerhouse capable of handling everything from merchant checkouts and cross-border remittances to tipping and everyday peer-to-peer payments.
This isn’t just another performance tweak; it’s the culmination of everything we’ve stood for since launch. In “Why Old Tech Still Solves Payments Best” we championed proof-of-work’s time-tested reliability. Our white paper, “Scrypt Is a Sleepy Crypto Giant…” laid out Scrypt’s untapped potential. Our partnership story in “Dingocoin & The Flip App”showed how phone-based, near-zero-fee payments can change lives. CoinEx even published our recent video interview, shining a spotlight on our shared vision and underscoring the strength of our collaboration. For the technical deep dive on Geelong itself, check out our Geelong Agreement overview—it explains how we designed this upgrade and why it matters.
Over the last few months, we’ve completed internal development, run extensive testnet trials, and finalized all code reviews. Now we’re coordinating with our listing partners, wallet developers, and node operators to deploy the Geelong upgrade across mainnet—ensuring every client is ready to handle larger blocks without sacrificing decentralization or user experience. For the full technical breakdown of BigPiggy & Nando’s work—from block-size changes to fork mechanics—see our in-depth write-up, Dingocoin Technical Deep Dive: Geelong Upgrade Status & Next Steps.
Geelong is more than an upgrade; it’s proof that Dingocoin’s do-ocracy model works. Brick by brick, block by block, we’ve advanced from a fair-launch, meme-inspired fork to a high-performance payments chain worthy of global adoption. Thank you to everyone who mined, tested, reviewed, and refined this release. The network is about to get a whole lot faster—and that’s just the beginning.
Stay tuned for the exact activation time and prepare to experience Dingocoin at 330 TPS.
