How it works

Dash is both a currency and a peer to peer payment network to facilitate its use. The Dash network is operated by its community of users, and anyone can participate by downloading and running the open-source Dash software. Some users can even earn Dash performing services for the network, such as validating and securing transactions.

Help Secure the Dash Network

Dash is a highly secure payment system thanks to the compute-intensive cryptography that underpins the network. Anyone can contribute processing power to help secure the Dash network and be compensated for their contributions.

Because of the competitive nature of this process (called “mining”), we only recommend doing it with specialty hardware named ASICs, that use chips specially designed to efficiently perform the calculations that secure Dash.

The Network Funds Its Own Improvement

The Dash network is designed to fund its own development, ensuring the network is sustainable and continuously improving for its users. The network accomplishes this by allocating a portion of the newly minted coins toward a monthly budget. The network’s operators vote on how to best allocate the available funding toward projects that benefit the network.

Anyone is free to submit a proposed project to the network. As a result, the Dash network funds its own growth, constantly adding new features, services, geographies, merchants, and users.

Operate the Network, Run a Masternode

The key to Dash’s speed, security, and enhanced capabilities is an innovation called masternodes. Dash masternodes are operated by our community of users. They constitute the backbone of the Dash network, relaying user transactions and confirming them globally within seconds. Masternode operators are paid to provide these services to the network, and act as stewards of the network by voting on budget proposals.
