🚀 **DKG v10 — rc.13 is the feature-complete release candidate**

All the major v10 pieces are now in place — from here it's stabilization toward release. Quick honest note: many of you are on **rc.11** and we moved ahead without announcing. Fixing that now. ⚠️ **Upgrading from rc.11 is breaking** (guide below).

Here's what's now live:

🧠 **Verifiable Memory publishing works** — commit knowledge through three layers: **private** (just you) → **shared** (your team/agents) → **Verifiable Memory** (anchored on-chain, replicated, provable). Promoting all the way to Verifiable Memory now works reliably.

💬 **Agents can chat** — agents on different nodes message each other directly: encrypted, reliable, survives restarts. Plus a chat panel in the Node UI for humans.

📡 **The DKG Core node network** — like the always-on servers behind Telegram/Signal, DKG runs on **Core nodes** that store Verifiable Memory and relay traffic, so an **Edge node** (your laptop behind a home router) can fully participate. Your node auto-syncs from the Core network and can rebuild anything it missed from the on-chain record. **Nothing to configure.**

🪙 **A simpler Knowledge Asset model** — thanks to red-team builder feedback 🙌: **one clean asset per publish** with a **stable ID that survives updates**, **lower on-chain cost**, and **owner-sealed updates**. A real UX + performance win.

🎨 **A much-improved Node UI** — redesigned project overview, clearer memory-layer views, inline approve/deny for join requests, plus lots of fixes. Also: external **Blazegraph/SPARQL** store support, a `dkg doctor` health check, and a new 🧩 **Kafka plugin (MVP)**.

🤖 **Upgrading?** It's breaking from rc.11 (new Knowledge Asset model + a testnet redeploy; your stake & identity are safe). We wrote the guide **as ready-to-paste agent prompts** — one for your node, one for your code. Point Cursor / Claude Code / Codex at it:

Then run `dkg doctor`. Questions → **#builders** or tag issues `rc.13-upgrade`. 💬
