The concept of cross-chain atomic transfers was proposed in 2013 and has taken tremendous effort to realise the capabilities of this technology. One of the first breakthroughs came In 2017 when Decred conducted the first atomic swap between Decred DCR and Litecoin (LTC). Decred has taken atomic swap technology from a single swap concept to a full trading experience with DCRDEX. These fulfilled goals have taken the crypto space by surprise, to the point, that most are still sceptical as to its success and legitimacy. But if you've watched this video series to this point you've seen for yourself how far the DCRDEX project has come. Decred is Money Evolved. By combining battle tested Proof-of-Work with an innovative take on Proof-of-Stake that places coin holders in charge of shaping the future, Decred is able to adapt to challenges and innovate at a rapid pace. You acquire influence in Decred by putting “skin in the game”. Decred’s security, privacy, scalability, and decentralized treasury empower stakeholders and provides them with the tools needed to enhance their financial sovereignty.
