DASH (formerly known as Darkcoin and Xcoin) and stands for Digital Cash. This open-source peer-to-peer currency aims to be the easiest way to make transactions online by making the transactions instantaneous. The Dash network will even pay individuals and businesses to perform work that adds value to their network, thus operating as a self-governing and self-funded model making it unique among cryptocurrencies. DASH is seen by some as the future of online banking built on a peer-to-peer money system secured through cryptography.
