The core of Dash's unique technology is a 2-tier P2P network design that rewards users that hold Dash to host a type of supernode called a Masternode and host it 24/7 on dedicated hardware.

Masternodes work together in clusters and can't be faked like fullnodes in other digital currencies. This means they can provide new kinds of decentralized services, like instant transactions, anonymization and governance, without the threat of low-cost network attacks.
Thanks to incentivization, Dash's network has grown to 3,700 Masternodes meaning Dash is the only digital currency that can compete with Bitcoin for transaction processing power and future scalability.

Any important project or decision in Dash is agreed and funded by a decentralized public process that funds projects autonomously based on Masternode-network votes. This means Dash can fund it's own growth and adoption, consensus is guaranteed, and everyone is accountable to the network. And you can't game the system without buying over half the currency supply.

What's next? We are working on a new decentralized service hosted on the Masternode network that will open up Dash to web and mobile users and be as easy to use as PayPal but still fully decentralized. Stay tuned..
