The Syscoin 5: Codename Nexus Governance Proposal Has Passed – A New Era Begins

The future of Syscoin is here! After a lot of lively discussion amongst the Syscoin community, the Syscoin 5: Codename Nexus upgrade has been approved with an overwhelming 95% of the vote, marking a historic step forward for our ecosystem.

This critical upgrade is set to activate at block 2,010,345 on April 8, 2025, at 00:30 UTC—ushering in a new era of decentralized governance, trustless cross-chain interoperability, and Bitcoin-secured scalability.
Why This Matters
With this upgrade, Syscoin is cementing itself as the leading modular blockchain for Bitcoin-powered Web3. We are introducing:
✅ Decentralized Sequencing & AI-Powered Sentry Nodes — Strengthening Syscoin’s infrastructure for Bitcoin+ and Edgechains like zkSYS.
✅ Trustless Bitcoin Interoperability — Enabling a secure, two-way bridge with Bitcoin, making BTC truly programmable.
✅ Dynamic Governance — A self-adjusting, community-driven funding model that ensures efficient resource allocation and long-term sustainability.
This is one small step for the Syscoin blockchain, and one giant leap for Bitcoin+—the foundation for a decentralized, Bitcoin-secured economy that will power the next generation of Web3 applications.
A Moment Shaped by the Community
This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our node operators, developers, and community members who believe in Syscoin’s vision. Your voice has directly shaped the future of this protocol, proving that governance, transparency, and decentralized innovation are at the heart of what we’re building.
As we approach activation, stay engaged, stay informed, and get ready for the next phase of Syscoin’s evolution.
Together, we are making Syscoin the foundation of the future of Web3 built on and dominated by Bitcoin!
