Buy Decred DCR
What is Decred?
Decred (DCR) is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency designed to provide a secure, efficient, and sustainable platform for transactions and community-driven development. It emphasizes decentralized community governance and utilizes a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to ensure security, decentralization, and user participation.
How does Decred work?
Decred combines a hybrid consensus mechanism that integrates PoW and PoS. In this system, PoW miners process and validate transactions, while PoS stakeholders use voting tickets obtained by staking Decred coins to participate in governance decisions and approve miners' work. The hybrid system ensures enhanced security and decentralization, and 10% of block rewards fund the Decred Treasury for ongoing project development. The blockchain implements the Blake-256 algorithm, supports the Lightning Network for scalability, and enables atomic swaps for secure peer-to-peer trading.
