About Decred
How Decred works
Decred is a layer-1 smart-contract platform secured by proof-of-stake: validators lock up (stake) DCR to propose and attest blocks, and earn rewards for honest behaviour while risking penalties (slashing) for misbehaviour. Developers deploy decentralised applications on top of it.
What is Decred used for?
Decred powers DeFi, NFTs, stablecoins and on-chain applications; DCR is used to pay transaction fees (gas), to stake and help secure the network, and to participate in governance.
Risks & considerations
All crypto-assets are volatile and high-risk; never invest more than you can afford to lose. Specific risks include validator centralisation, slashing, smart-contract bugs in the ecosystem and competition between chains.
