DASH/USD (-0.97%)
Dash cryptocurrency is a unique and highly secure token running within the Dash ecosystem, which is an improved version of the Bitcoin platform but offers notable changes in transaction speed, anonymity, and governance through its two-tier network structure. The two-tier incentivized network is a security feature consisting of nodes using the XII Proof-of-Work algorithm to carry out mining operations and master nodes operating under a Proof-of-Service consensus algorithm. The master nodes facilitate InstantSend, PrivateSend, and ChainLocks functions. The ChainLocks feature serves to provide additional security. Masternodes and miners are paid a percentage of the block reward as incentives. Dash Cryptocurrency can also be staked for rewards.
