View ChartNew BitShares (NBS) is an open-source blockchain platform built to power decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized exchange (DEX) applications. It operates on its own public blockchain network using the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm and is implemented with a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) management structure. NBS is a fork of BitShares (BTS), created to reverse certain features that were not approved by the BitShares committee in BTS 4.0, aiming to reduce centralization concerns and eliminate practices considered unfair by users.
The platform utilizes Graphene technology, originally developed by Dan Larimer, which is regarded as one of the more advanced blockchain architectures available. Since its mainnet launch in September 2020, NBS has introduced innovations including currency-based and coin-based liquidity mining, a perpetual margin contract market on the NBS DEX, cross-chain functionality (NBS-Connect), an oracle system (NBS-Forcast), an EVM virtual machine, and NFT capabilities. The native token, NBS, has a fixed total supply of 3.6 billion tokens created at genesis with no additional issuance planned.
The underlying technology behind New BitShares traces its origins to July 2014, when it was first conceived as the brainchild of Dan Larimer, co-founder of Steem and EOS, alongside Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and Cardano. Dan Larimer is listed as Co-Founder in connection with the project. The Graphene technology that NBS is built upon was developed by Dan Larimer. Detailed public information about the current core development team and operational leadership is currently limited.
New BitShares operates on a Delegated Proof of Stake consensus mechanism, which secures the blockchain by ensuring representation of transactions through a voting and election process. This system is designed as an implementation of technology-based democracy, protecting the blockchain from centralization and malicious usage. The platform uses a DAO organizational management structure, where governance votes determine how network resources are allocated, and contributors including witnesses and workers are rewarded for their participation.
As a fork of BitShares, NBS functions similarly but with deliberate modifications. It reverses several BTS 4.0 features, including the weakening of vote weights, one-vote-per-account committee elections, counting votes from non-blocked accounts as zero, voting blocks, and the elimination of voting rights when BitShares is used as a security. The platform extends the original Graphene structure by adding cross-chain capability through NBS-Connect, an oracle system called NBS-Forcast, an EVM virtual machine, and NFT functionality. The NBS DEX supports currency-based and coin-based liquidity mining along with a perpetual margin contract market.
New BitShares distinguishes itself through its commitment to addressing perceived fairness and centralization issues present in the original BitShares ecosystem. By reversing features that users considered unfair, NBS aims to create a more equitable governance environment. The platform's adherence to the concept of using DeFi to achieve a win-win situation and reconstructing the economic ecology of the public chain reflects its focus on inclusive DeFi applications.
The integration of multiple advanced features into the original Graphene structure—including cross-chain interoperability, oracle services, EVM compatibility, and NFT support—positions NBS as a comprehensive infrastructure for decentralized finance. As an efficient blockchain DEX infrastructure, NBS significantly reduces the capital threshold and cost of trading. The fixed supply of 3.6 billion tokens with no additional issuance provides predictability in tokenomics. The NFT function extends utility to fields such as digital collectibles, broadening the platform's application scope.
The NBS token serves multiple functions within the ecosystem. It is used to pay fees for processing transactions and storing data on the network. Token holders can participate in governance votes that determine how network resources are allocated. NBS offers the capability to loan holdings with customizable reserve levels. It is used to reward system contributors, including witnesses and workers. The token supports staking within the New BitShares Network and functions as a store of value and as collateral. Additionally, users can issue their own tokens and assets on the platform using NBS.
The New BitShares ecosystem encompasses a range of tools and applications designed to support developers and users. The NBS DEX provides decentralized exchange infrastructure with liquidity mining and perpetual margin contract capabilities. NBS-Connect enables cross-chain functionality, while NBS-Forcast delivers oracle services. The addition of an EVM virtual machine allows for broader smart contract compatibility, and NFT functionality supports digital collectibles and related applications.
Developer resources include NBS SDKs with standard data structures and testing tools, the NNS Wallet for streamlined user experiences, the NBS Explorer for contract debugging and network performance monitoring, and NBS Command Line Tools for local application deployment. The ecosystem has attracted support from various exchanges and platforms over time, with Bittrex Global supporting a BitShares hard fork initiated by the New BitShares team in August 2022 and distributing NBS tokens to BTS holders. The project continues to develop its public welfare blockchain experimental platform based on efficient DPoS consensus.
New BitShares cannot be mined. The token was created with a fixed supply of 3.6 billion NBS at genesis, and no additional issuance occurs during its lifetime. Instead of mining, NBS utilizes a Delegated Proof of Stake consensus mechanism where token holders participate in governance through voting and election processes. Users can stake their NBS tokens within the New BitShares Network to support network operations and potentially earn rewards. Witnesses and workers who contribute to the system are rewarded as part of the network's incentive structure. The 500 million NBS reserved in the fund pool supports witnesses, system development, and network architecture maintenance costs.
Securing NBS tokens requires attention to several best practices. Use official wallet solutions such as the NNS Wallet, which is designed to provide streamlined user experiences for application developers and token holders. Always verify the authenticity of the NBS website and block explorer before conducting transactions or entering sensitive information. Since NBS operates on its own blockchain, ensure you are using compatible wallets and tools that support the network.
Be aware that NBS is a volatile digital asset that can lose value rapidly. Conduct thorough research before making investment decisions and cross-check multiple sources for information. Consider using hardware wallets for long-term storage of significant holdings. When trading on exchanges, note that some platforms have delisted NBS, so verify current listing status before attempting transactions. Keep private keys and seed phrases secure and never share them with anyone. Stay informed about network updates and governance decisions that may affect token functionality or value.
