Dash is a blockchain network at its heart and a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) aimed at addressing the primitive limitations of early blockchain networks such as Bitcoin. It is a Bitcoin protocol fork and was originally referred to as XCoin and Darkcoin. The DASH name originated from the phrase “digital cash.” Its creator, Evan Duffield, later settled down in 2015 with the name Dash. The network is operated by its native DASH cryptocurrency, and today it is approved through hundreds of online platforms as a payment method. DASH has a more than a $1 billion dollar market capitalization. That state makes DASH the 28th largest cryptocurrency. One DASH token is worth $116,23 as of Dec. 18, 2020, and it has a total circulating supply of 9.8 million tokens. DASH’s overall supply is capped at 18.9 million.
