Dash was founded by Evan Duffield and originally launched as Xcoin before being rebranded to Darkcoin, and then rebranded again in March 2015 to its current name. Its GitHub repository is forked from the Bitcoin codebase. Dash is affiliated with Dash Core Group, Inc. and the Dash DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization that governs its treasury and development direction.
Dash relies on a masternode layer to power several core features, including CoinJoin for privacy mixing, InstantSend for near-instant transaction finality, and a governance and treasury system that funds network proposals. The project has faced criticism over decentralization concerns tied to a mishap during its initial coin distribution.
