Everything You Need To Know About Decred (DCR) What is Decred (DCR)?Decred (short for Decentralised Credit) is being anticipated to be Bitcoin 2.0, as it seems to have adopted Bitcoin’s most liked features, and coupled them with better governance, limited influence of miners and cross chain atomic swaps to switch between different cryptocurrencies. Its long-term financing and development quality makes it the dark horse in the digital currency space.
The Decred coin is a digital currency which offers complete autonomy to its stakeholders for decentralized decision making and nifty transition between the different set of rules. Its cryptocurrency is denoted by the symbol DCR, with a total supply of 21 million coins.
The Decred mainnet was launched on February 8, 2016, by Company O, a Chicago based firm that develops tools for Bitcoins. Decred 1.0.0, which allows hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake, was launched on April 25, 2017.
Decred uses a modular codebase to adapt and scale changes in the blockchain technology - which means its features can be added or removed with more ease compared to other cryptocurrencies. The use of Lightning Network (LN) allows near-instant micropayments in DCR. This is similar to Bitcoin, but processes in half the time and thus compete with the existing fiat system. More
