What is it?

Dash Core connects to the Dash peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It includes a wallet and an optional graphical user interface, so it can serve both as a full node and as a way to hold and send Dash.

Dash is a digital currency designed for instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere. It runs without a central authority: transaction management and money issuance are carried out collectively by the network.

The codebase is written in C++ and released under the MIT license. Builds are documented for Linux, macOS, Windows, and several BSD systems, and the project includes unit tests in C++ and functional regression tests in Python.

Key features

  • 01Full node that downloads and validates blocks and transactions on the Dash network
  • 02Built-in wallet with an optional graphical user interface
  • 03Peer-to-peer design with no central authority
  • 04Cross-platform builds for Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD
  • 05Unit tests in C++ and functional regression tests in Python

Use cases

  • Running a full node to independently verify the Dash blockchain
  • Holding and sending Dash with a desktop wallet
  • Developing or auditing Dash Core's C++ codebase
  • Studying a cryptocurrency implementation built on peer-to-peer networking
