CM Profile: Decred

Cryptominium Profile. What we have established, measured and written about DCR, and what we have not.

Measured

Read from our own records when this page was made. It describes what we know, and is not a view on whether to hold DCR. How each part is worked out

What changed

Week to 14 October

Nothing we measure moved much this week: trading volume, reported supply and price are all within their usual range.

From our own measurements only, each against the month before. We do not say why a price moves. How this is worked out · Every coin this week

What it actually costs to sell DCR

Selling $100,000 of DCR into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:

Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →

Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps DCR on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.

Through The network's ticket system PowerMap: Decred ticket system

DCR can be staked by locking it to buy a ticket, which carries one vote. When the ticket is called to vote, on average after 28 days and at most 142, it returns the locked DCR plus a reward. A ticket has a 0.5% chance of expiring unused, which returns the DCR without a reward.

Through Nobody

Decred has a hard cap of just under 21 million coins. The reward for each block shrinks by about 1% every three weeks, and the last one is due in 2120.

About the asset

Decred has no token contract — it is the native asset of its own chain, not a token issued on someone else's.

The exit-friction index

Once a month we publish what a $100,000 exit really costs across every token we can measure. Leave an address and this month’s figure arrives straight away, and we will write again when the next index publishes. Nothing else, and never to anyone else.
