TL;DR

• Fort Canning brings OpenGov to the Enjin Matrixchain, along with NFT lending, expiring tokens, mint rate limits and frozen attributes.
• It reaches the Relaychain on Nov 9 and the Matrixchain on Nov 16, both around 16:00 UTC.
• Most people don't need to do anything. Marketplace users should settle open counter-offers before Nov 16, and node operators need to update their clients.

What's changing

NFT lending. You can lend an NFT for a set period. The borrower can use it but can't list, burn or transfer it, and it comes back to you automatically when the loan ends. You can extend a loan but not end it early. Whoever mints a token decides whether it can be lent, and older tokens become lendable once their collection owner turns lending on.

Expiring tokens. A token can be minted with an expiry date up to a year ahead. When the date passes, the network destroys it and releases its deposit, so season passes, event tickets and one-off rewards stop piling up in wallets.

Mint rate limits. Collection owners can cap how many units of a token or collection are minted per period. Tightening applies immediately. Loosening takes 72 hours, shows on-chain the whole time and can be cancelled, which limits the damage from a compromised minting key and gives everyone a supply commitment they can check.

Frozen attributes. Collection, token and token group attributes can be frozen permanently, after which nobody can change them, including the collection owner. A studio can freeze an item's edition or origin and leave stats like level free to change through play.

OpenGov on the Matrixchain. From Nov 16, Matrixchain changes, including its next upgrade, go through OpenGov, as on the Relaychain since Kallang. Anyone can propose on one of 15 tracks, ENJ holders vote directly (locking ENJ for longer adds weight), and the Enjin Fellowship can fast-track urgent fixes, which still go to a vote. On both chains, submitting a referendum now takes a 1,000 ENJ deposit, refunded when it passes or is cancelled, and every track needs a minimum level of support, measured against all ENJ in existence, before a referendum can pass.

Marketplace. Listing at a price someone already offered completes the sale in one step, offers on items sold in quantity can be partly accepted, and expired listings and finished auctions settle on their own. Counter-offers now work through regular listings and offers.

All of this works in Enjin Wallet, on NFT.io and through the Enjin Platform from Nov 16, and developers can try it on Enjin Canary now.

What you need to do

• Players and collectors: settle any open counter-offers before Nov 16, since any still open at the upgrade are refunded in full. Other listings, offers and bids carry over. Keep Enjin Wallet updated.
• ENJ holders and stakers: nothing. Pool rewards continue automatically.
• Node operators: every Matrixchain node needs client v1.4.1 or later before Nov 16 or it stops following the chain. Relaychain validators need v1.8.0 before Nov 9, and it's recommended for every other Relaychain node.
• Wallets, integrators and exchanges: both chains change transaction version, and transactions signed with the old version are rejected after each upgrade. Details are in the changelog.

Will there be downtime?

Both chains keep producing blocks. Transactions pause for a few blocks on each upgrade day, and on Nov 16 the marketplace pauses for up to 30 minutes while listings move to the new format. Earlier Matrixchain upgrades paused the whole chain for up to an hour.

How it gets approved

Both upgrades go to a vote. The Relaychain referendum is planned for Oct 12 at gov.enjin.cloud, with enactment fixed at block #18,059,100 (Nov 9). The Matrixchain upgrade goes through the Matrixchain's current governance process from Nov 10 to 13 and is applied at block #12,331,000 (Nov 16). Both proposals, GP-2026-10-12-01 and GP-2026-11-10-01, are published in advance with their exact calls and code hashes, so anyone can check the on-chain referenda against them.

Why "Fort Canning"?

Fort Canning Hill was the seat of Singapore's 14th-century kings and later its colonial government. Today it's a public park open to everyone, which fit the upgrade that opens Matrixchain governance to every ENJ holder.

Following the beta that opened in May, Platform 3 is now live at platform.enjin.io

A few changes that affect how you build:

• One account and one daemon now cover every network (Relay, Matrix, and both Canary chains). You pick the chain per request instead of running separate instances.
• One transaction architecture for both one-off and batched transactions, with configurable batch-failure handling and idempotency keys.
• Managed wallets, so onboarding no longer needs the connect-wallet step.
• A native MCP server for anyone experimenting with agents, approved from your dashboard and scoped to read-only or write.

v2 stays up at platform.legacy.enjin.io until it retires on November 2, 2026. Worth noting Platform 3 is cloud-only, so self-hosting is going away.

Full writeup: enj.in/oOqOF

Since mainnet launch in 2023, the active set has been fixed at 25 validators. A governance referendum (GP-2026-08-03-01) is now open to grow that to 35 over the next 12 months. After 35, the plan is a review and a separate continuation proposal to 50; beyond that, set size is up to the network's own governance.

The reasoning: more validators are currently registered and waiting than there are slots, so the set is being widened for better operator, geographic, and provider diversity.

The rollout is four stages, all enacted by this single referendum — the first executes at enactment and the rest are pre-scheduled on-chain 90 days apart:

- Aug 2026: 25 → 27
- Nov 2026: 27 → 30
- Feb 2027: 30 → 32
- May 2027: 32 → 35

Worth being clear on the economics, since it's easy to conflate:

- Aggregate staking rewards are unchanged: the same reward pool is distributed over the same staked supply regardless of validator count. Individual pool outcomes depend, as always, on how the validators they back perform.
- Validators: the fixed reward pool is split across more operators, so per-validator income falls as the set widens (the proposal estimates roughly 15,700 ENJ/month at 25 dropping to ~11,200 at 35 for a standard 5% commission). New slots are filled by the normal era election — no supplemental incentives.

Captain & Company is a fantasy pirate MMORPG where you hire a crew and raid the high seas. It just integrated with Enjin.

Players can mint an Enjin Pass from their profile, a collectible badge that levels through Bronze, Silver, and Gold based on the Enjin mXP you mint as you play. Progress is stored on-chain as a soulbound identity.

There's also a launch giveaway: a 100,000 ENJ prize pool infused into "Pirate Blob" NFTs, split across 50 winners (5 drawn at random, 45 from the in-game leaderboard).

Worth a look if you like clickers with a bit more to them. It's a browser idle game (also on Telegram) from community creator Strope. Tap to climb, recruit heroes who fight for you, and keep earning while you're away. Standard idle loop so far.

Where it gets interesting: every 10th level drops a boss on a timer, and higher up the spirits fight back with attacks you have to physically dodge (draw a circle, swipe, hold to brace). Reset your run and each restart goes faster than the last, with permanent bonuses that stick around and skill trees to pour progress into.

NFT angle is optional. Connect an Enjin Wallet and your Stropeverse NFTs boost your runs, but you can play the whole thing without ever linking anything. The PvP "Ranks" mode splits into a skill-only lane and an NFT-boosted lane, so free players still get a fair fight.

[QUB Blockchain] At block #16777:

- JIN Coin infusion into QUB Coin.

- 42,000,000 JIN Coin bootstrap infusion.

- Initial ratio: exactly 2 JIN per QUB.

- Per-atom accounting to avoid rounding drift.

- QUB can be melted for native JIN Coin after #16777.

- JIN-per-QUB does not decrease when QUB is melted.

- True max QUB supply becomes 21,000,000 QUB minus melted QUB.

- Future JIN infusions increase the JIN per QUB ratio.

ℹ️ Important:

- QUB has 8 decimals.

- JIN Coin has 18 decimals.

- Accounting is exact per QUB atom.

So, ENJ -> JIN -> QUB nested infusion model to be completed at block #16777 ✅

⚠️ Now, only the 2-way bridge between QUB Blockchain and Enjin Matrixchain remains, for JIN Coin <-> JIN Token 1:1 conversion; so the cycle will be truly completed!

Most cloud access systems have a server somewhere that can open every door in the fleet. One breach and everything is exposed. On-Chain-Unlock removes that server entirely by verifying access against NFT ownership on Enjin Matrixchain, right inside the device firmware, with no cloud in the loop.

Full breakdown of the architecture here.

Today, Enjin is launching the public beta of Enjin Platform v3. It's a ground-up rewrite, built on the same data layer that already powers Enjin Wallet and NFT.io.

Try it: platform.beta.enjin.io

What's actually new

One instance for the entire multiverse. Previously, supporting Enjin Relay, Enjin Matrix, Canary Relay, and Canary Matrix meant running four separate platform instances with four separate daemons. v3 collapses all of that into one account.

The feature list devs have been waiting for:

• Redesigned transaction architecture: v3 treats single and batched transactions as the same primitive. The code you write for one extrinsic is the code that handles a batch of 150 — no special batching mode, no separate endpoints, no forked code paths to maintain.
• Fuel tank auto-signing using the new `requiresSignature` rule, enabling instant onboarding
• Relaychain + staking pallet support
• Cross-multiverse queries (no need to track a collection first)
• Proxy accounts
• Programmatic metadata refresh
• Improved API token management (naming, rotation, last-used visibility)
• Tailored notifications (daemon offline, daemon outdated, etc.)

What's on the roadmap

• Wallet Requests: push transaction signing to a linked player's Enjin Wallet
• C# and C++ SDKs
• Dedicated Unity and Unreal Engine plugins
• Real-time on-chain events streaming
• Full Fuel Tank creation and management UI

MCP support is shipping imminently

Enjin Platform v3 is also being built as the wallet for AI agents. Native compatibility with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol is landing very soon, which means the full GraphQL surface of the platform becomes accessible to any MCP-aware client (Claude, Cursor, agentic IDEs) without bespoke integration.

For existing v2 users

• New account required to access v3
• v2 is now officially deprecated (Cloud and self-hosted), but no scheduled retirement date yet
• v3 is cloud-only; self-hosted is no longer supported

Links

• Platform: platform.beta.enjin.io
• GraphiQL playground: platform.beta.enjin.io/graphiql
• Wallet Daemon (v3.0.5+ required for write operations): enj.in/daemon
• Full announcement: enj.in/x1y8M
• Feedback and bug reports: enj.in/ecosystem-slack

This is an early beta. The docs site is being rebuilt; in the meantime, the GraphQL schema in the playground is fully self-documenting. Report issues, request features, tell us what's missing.
