About Decred
Decred (DCR) is a cryptocurrency that evolved from Bitcoin's codebase with key improvements: a hybrid Proof of Work and Proof of Stake consensus mechanism that gives stakeholders genuine governance power, and Politeia — an on-chain proposal and voting system funded by a built-in treasury. In Decred, miners produce blocks (PoW) but PoS ticket holders vote on whether to accept those blocks, preventing miner capture. The Decred treasury receives 10% of all block rewards, giving the project sustainable self-funding for development. Privacy features (CoinShuffle++), Lightning Network, and Atomic Swaps are built in.
