Dash (DASH) is ‘digital cash’ that works like regular cash, allowing you to exchange your money at a highly secured open-source peer-to-peer network. It wants to enable the user to purchase items online or in-stores, without going through a central authority. Dash is based on a decentralized peer-to-peer network, and secured by strong cryptography. Dash describes itself as portable, inexpensive, divisible, and fast digital cash for both the internet and everyday life. Dash is an open protocol not under the control of any single entity. Anyone can write software to transact on the Dash network without requiring the permission of a central authority. Dash only asks a small fee to prevent spam attacks.
