Activated in December 2015 this was a hard fork that focused on making the DigiByte transaction speeds faster. Block time was reduced by 50% from 30 seconds to 15 seconds that made it 40x faster than Bitcoin (10 min blocks vs 15 sec blocks). And new block propagation code was added based on Microsoft Research. This allows DigiByte to handle up to 560 transactions per second. Every 2 years the DigiByte blockchain's dynamic system doubles the number of transactions per second by doubling the block size. In 2017, capability reaches 560 transactions per second, with a maximum capability of 280,000 transactions per second to be reached in the year 2035.
