If you have been swimming along the coast of the Dash Sea for a long time and are interested in these questions, let’s dive deeper into this sea together!
Dash overview
- Dash is a fork of Litecoin, and Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin, so Dash has some ties with the original Bitcoin blockchain, but because of differences between Bitcoin and Litecoin, it is still more closely linked to Litecoin.
- Like Bitcoin, Dash has a total supply of 18 million coins.
- The Dash average block mining time is four times faster and takes 2.5 minutes per block, instead of Bitcoin (10 minutes and more).
- Dash blockchain includes:
- Masternodes, making up a second-tier network, and existing on top of the first tier of regular network miners;
- PrivateSend, a system that swaps coins between users for breaking the traceability of coins to make the network safer, so a transaction cannot be traced and the coin’s history cannot be accessed;
- InstantSend allows transactions to be instantly confirmed by the Masternode network.
- Dash runs on a self-funding and self-governing protocol. In the Bitcoin blockchain, a miner gets 100% of the reward per mined block. In the Dash blockchain, 10% of mining rewards go back to Dash, so Dash’s network can fund itself for further growth and adoption.
- Current Dash use cases include payments, micro, and cross-border payments, eSports and gaming, remittances, energy, and financial services.
- Dash has almost the fastest transactions and lowest fees among blockchain networks.
- Dash price was less than $10 until the end of 2016 and reached up to $1606 in December 2017.
