▹ Decentralized
A hybrid Proof-of-Work + Proof-of-Stake consensus splits power between miners and coin holders, so no single group can capture the chain.
WTF is Decred?
The cryptocurrency that governs and funds itself.
No CEO. No foundation calling the shots. Just code, stakeholders, and a treasury that answers to the people who hold the coin.
Decred · DCRWhy it's different
▹ Private
Built-in StakeShuffle mixing (CoinShuffle++) lets you break the trail on-chain — trustless privacy, no third party.
▹ Secure
Stakeholders anchor every block. Attacking Decred means buying in first — and the network makes that brutally expensive.
▹ Sovereign
On-chain governance is real: ticket holders vote on consensus changes and direct the treasury. A DAO that actually ships.
▹ Self-funding
A slice of every block reward fills a community treasury, so Decred pays for its own development — no VCs, no strings.
▹ Evolving
Upgrades ship through stakeholder votes, not contentious forks. The rules change only when the holders say so.
