Decred Puts Coinholders in Control —

Anyone who stakes Decred has direct voting rights on network changes, proposals, and treasury spending. Stakers earn a portion of the block reward for their participation.

Development That Never Stops —

Decred's treasury is self-funded and comes from 10% of the block reward. This funding model ensures that development, marketing, and other project-related activities have a consistent funding source, independent of external capital or sponsors.

Proposals —

Decred's proposal platform is the decision making force behind the Decred DAO. Anyone can submit a proposal to build and get funding from the treasury. All proposals are time-anchored, censorship resistant, and must be approved by stakeholders.

DAO —

The combination of the treasury fund, proposal platform, stakeholder voting, and flexible contractor model allow Decred to operate as a Layer 1 Decentralized Autonomous Organization.

Optional Privacy —

Opt-in privacy with high participation and post-quantum secure cryptography. Coin supply remains auditable and transparent to ensure no hidden inflation.

DEX —

Decred has built its own DEX using atomic-swap technology. This allows users to trade peer-to-peer with no trading fees or KYC. DEX development is funded by the Decred DAO and is completely open-source.

Dual-Layer Security —

Decred's hybrid consensus system is significantly more difficult to 51% attack than pure PoW or PoS systems. To date, Decred has never been majority attacked.

Lightning Network For Scalability —

Decred is the only project other than Bitcoin taking Lightning development seriously for Layer 2 scaling.
