Decred (DCR)

As an open-source blockchain-based cryptocurrency, Decred was established by crypto-enthusiasts who identified a significant issue with Bitcoin; that the decision-making process had become more and more centralized as time went on due to restrictive mining pools. The developers of Decred aimed to create a currency that is secure, adaptable, and sustainable.  Decred began trading in February of 2016, with a team mostly built on Bitcoin developers. At the time of launch, the developers initially self-funded the project rather than support the coin through an initial coin offering.
