What is Decred?

Decred is a community-focused cryptocurrency token aiming to develop blockchain tech for the long-term storage of value. The DCR coin is a core element in the system and is based on a hard fork of the core Bitcoin network. To ensure the best security and privacy level, the Decred network uses a combination of the Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake consensus method.

This innovative consensus method called Proof-of-Activity also helps Decred maintain its community-focused features and scale the project according to potential demand in the future. Just like the core Bitcoin, Decred also has a supply cap of 21,000,0000. Since its inception in 2016, DCR has stayed a popular token among tech enthusiasts and cryptocurrency investors.
