DEX and Scalability: Decred has developed a DEX based on atomic swap technology, supporting peer-to-peer trading without trading fees or KYC verification. It is also the only project besides Bitcoin actively developing Lightning Network layer 2 scaling solutions.
The current circulating supply is approximately 15,808,300 DCR, with a maximum supply of 21 million DCR. The staking rate is 62%, with an annual staking yield of 7%. The treasury reserves about 786,000 DCR.
