About Dash
Digital cash, built for everyday payments.
Dash is a cryptocurrency made to be spent. Payments lock in about two seconds, fees are usually a fraction of a cent, and the network is run as a DAO — masternode owners vote every month on how the treasury funds development, marketing and communities around the world.
Infrastructure
Five layers.
One digital cash network.
Dash combines five layers of technology to make digital cash fast, secure and community-run.
Miners secure the Dash blockchain with X11 proof-of-work, adding a new block about every 2.5 minutes.
Thousands of masternodes, each backed by 1,000 DASH collateral, power InstantSend, ChainLocks, CoinJoin and governance.
Masternode quorums lock payments in about two seconds and sign each new block, protecting the chain from 51% attacks.
Usernames, decentralized data storage and apps built on top of Dash, run by Evolution masternodes.
A share of every block reward goes to the treasury. Masternode owners vote each month on which proposals get funded.
Dash vs. traditional payments.
Banks and cards follow someone else's rules and opening hours. Dash is digital cash run by its own community — open to anyone with a phone.
