About Decred
In Decred, stakeholders, who are essentially the DCR holders, play an active role in shaping the consensus rules of the blockchain, directing its future development, and deciding how the project's treasury funds are utilized.
To align incentives, Decred splits the block rewards between PoW miners, stakeholders, and the Decred Treasury, which funds the project. PoW miners have a role comparable to that in Bitcoin, but in Decred, they receive only 10% of the block reward.
Stakeholders can time-lock or "stake" their DCR to acquire voting tickets, which are randomly selected to vote on-chain. This voting includes both approving the work of PoW miners and voting Yes/No on any pending rule change proposals. The stakeholders who hold the tickets that voted in a given block earn 80% of the block reward.
The remaining 10% of the block reward is allocated to the Decred Treasury. Through Politeia proposals and voting, holders of live tickets decide how this treasury is used. The Decred Constitution, which can be amended via Politeia proposals, lays out guiding principles for the project.

Best Decred Wallet Options Ranked by Security and Staking
Decred (DCR) is the native token of the Decred network, a self-funding blockchain built on a hybrid Proof of Work and Proof of Stake consensus model where 60% of block rewards go to miners, 30% to ticket-voting stakers, and 10% to the treasury for protocol development. DCR trades near $18.87 with a market cap around $324 million on approximately 17.4 million tokens in circulation as of mid-May 2026. Over 72% of circulating DCR is currently staked through tickets, with stakers earning approximately 8% APY. Tickets cost approximately 224 DCR each and lock funds for an average of 28 days. Decrediton is the official desktop wallet and the only client with native staking, governance voting, and CoinShuffle++ privacy mixing built in.
Crypto News NavigatorMay 16, 2026Ethena Careers Reveal Where the Protocol Is Headed Next
Rarely does Ethena factor into the consciousness of the few that have not become hyper fixated on either its 90%+ drop from ATH of ENA or the April '26 USDe $1.6B exit that sent shockwaves throughout DeFi. The signal isn't waving, it's folded within the protocol's hiring page. Discreetly, over the last three months Ethena has been adding to the cumulative count of job postings for compliance, enterprise integration, and protocol engineering positions in stark contrast to the behavior of a project on the run.

Before Monad's network went live on November 24, 2025, guessing its price was pretty normal. Sources say Monad just got $225 million in Series A funding, which puts their value at around $3 billion. The valuation was based on how similar layer-1 networks were priced when they first launched. The team stress-tested token price scenarios across bull and bear markets. Monad's strong funding, tech, and growing community have people talking about how high its token price could go. Coinbase's sale attracted over 85,000 buyers, who purchased tokens worth a total of $269 million.
