<item><title>Mainnet fee-burn is live: 50% of every gas fee, gone forever</title><link>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#mainnet-fee-burn</link><guid>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#mainnet-fee-burn</guid><pubDate>2026-06-18</pubDate><description>With the v2-lightfee coordinated upgrade, every transaction on lightdao-mainnet-1 now splits its fee 50% burn / 30% validators / 20% treasury, enforced at the chain layer (x/lightfee), not by convention. Gas is USD-anchored so a reference transfer costs ~$0.001 regardless of LIGHT price. Burn is verifiable: watch the burn address balance only ever rise.</description></item>
<item><title>We deleted the seed phrase (and the #1 way users lose funds)</title><link>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#passkey-seedless-wallet</link><guid>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#passkey-seedless-wallet</guid><pubDate>2026-04-02</pubDate><description>LightDAO wallets log in with Passkey/WebAuthn biometrics; the mnemonic is encrypted device-side and never shown by default, with Shamir 3-of-5 social recovery as backup. Mnemonic remains only as an optional fallback. Result: onboarding in seconds and no 12 words to lose.</description></item>
<item><title>Your browser is now infrastructure: device-direct WebRTC relay</title><link>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#webrtc-device-direct-relay</link><guid>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#webrtc-device-direct-relay</guid><pubDate>2026-02-11</pubDate><description>Light nodes form a P2P mesh over WebRTC with an 8-region TURN/TURNS fleet for symmetric NAT. Relayed bytes are metered on-device and score 40% of mining reward, verified by validator challenges + peer attestation + per-block Merkle root.</description></item>
<item><title>Gas that doesn't move with the token: USD-anchored pricing</title><link>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#usd-anchored-gas</link><guid>https://lightdao.net/blog.html#usd-anchored-gas</guid><pubDate>2025-12-05</pubDate><description>min-gas-price is derived from an on-chain TWAP oracle so fees stay stable in USD terms even before a LIGHT/USDC pool exists. When liquidity arrives, the oracle switches to real market median automatically via governance parameter.</description></item>
