About Decred

Decred (DCR) is a hybrid PoW/PoS blockchain-based cryptocurrency, designed to ensure community involvement, open governance, and sustainable development funding. Stakeholders, or DCR holders, play a pivotal role in determining consensus rules, the blockchain's evolution, and treasury funds allocation. Block rewards in Decred are split between PoW miners (10%), stakeholders (80%), and the Decred Treasury (10%). Stakeholders can stake their DCR for voting tickets, which grants them the power to vote on rule change proposals and approve PoW miners' work. The Decred Treasury's usage is decided via Politeia proposals and voting by live ticket holders. Launched in 2016 by co-founders including Alex and Jake Yocom-Piatt, Decred aims to create a truly decentralized cryptocurrency governed actively by its community.

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.

Decred was launched in February 2016 by a group of co-founders including brothers Alex and Jake Yocom-Piatt, along with Dave Collins, David Hill, John Vernaleo, and Josh Rickmar. The Yocom-Piatt brothers, along with their team, had previously contributed to the creation of btcsuite, an alternative full-node Bitcoin implementation written in Go (golang). Their aim was to create a truly decentralized cryptocurrency with an engaged community actively participating in its governance.

Ethena Careers Reveal Where the Protocol Is Headed Next

Ethena 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.

Six Reasons Monad Price Prediction Models Keep Failing

Six Reasons Monad Price Prediction Models Keep Failing

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.

Best Decred Wallet Options Ranked by Security and Staking

With 10.9 million DCR staked - that's 67.4% of all the coins out there - and tickets locked for close to 5 months, picking a Decred wallet is more than just thinking about storage. It's about taking part in how things are run. Mess up your wallet choice, and you lose your chance to vote on important stuff like spending the treasury money, updates, and where the whole network is headed. Right now, that treasury has about 786,000 DCR.
