What Is Decred (DCR)?
Decred is a cryptocurrency built around governance and self-funding. It combines proof-of-work mining with proof-of-stake voting, so coin holders, not just miners, decide on changes to the network.
It also has an on-chain treasury funded by block rewards and an optional privacy feature called StakeShuffle that mixes coins between users.
How Decred Works
Miners create blocks, and stakeholders who lock DCR in "tickets" vote to approve them and to accept or reject protocol changes. Ticket holders earn rewards for voting.
StakeShuffle is a CoinJoin-style mix built into the official wallet, which breaks the link between coins before staking or spending.
