Decred operates a blockchain-based cryptocurrency (DCR) focused on community governance, sustainable development funding, security, and optional privacy. Its stakeholders use proof-of-stake voting to govern consensus rules and treasury spending, while its hybrid PoW/PoS system secures the network. The project provides wallets, a proposal platform, voting tools, a block explorer, and DCRDEX, an open-source non-custodial atomic-swap exchange.
