Proof of Stake - DCR Comic 4

Have you voted today? A network that can't decide won't be able to adapt. Learn about Decred's Proof-of-Stake voting and the role of Stakeholders with the fourth DCR Comic.

01 - Decred mixes Proof-of-Stake voting and Proof-of-Work mining. This combination tightens the security and gives holders the tools to lead.

02 - DCR holders can buy tickets with their coins and use them to decide how Decred operates.

03 - Each new block picks five tickets to vote at random and requires signed votes from at least 3 tickets.

04 - After voting, ticket owners get their DCR refunded and earn a share (6%) of the block reward.

05 - Stakeholders vote to approve or reject the work of the PoW miners, they can deny the miners' rewards if they misbehave.

06 - Vote for or against changes to the consensus rules.

​07 - Decide on treasury expenditure proposals through Politeia.

08 - Decision makers are the users who hold the coin. Proof-of-Stake voting puts the Decred community in charge and sets the foundations for building a decentralized organization.
