About Decred
Decred is a layer-1 cryptocurrency and blockchain network built for value transfer and on-chain protocol governance. The project started in 2013, created by pseudonymous developers tacotime and _ingsoc, and was later developed further by Company 0 under Jake Yocom-Piatt. The mainnet launched on February 8, 2016. Decred combines proof-of-work mining with proof-of-stake voting. Ticket holders vote on proposed blocks and governance decisions, giving stakeholders direct influence over the protocol. The native token, DCR, is used to pay transaction fees, participate in staking by purchasing tickets, and vote on governance proposals. Decred has a fixed maximum supply of 21,000,000 DCR, and the circulating supply remains below that cap. Both miners and stakeholders share control over the network's direction.
