Dash, an open-source cryptocurrency, was created by developer Evan Duffield in January 2014. Initially known as Xcoin, it was later rebranded as Darkcoin, emphasizing its privacy and anonymity features. However, in March 2015, it underwent another rebranding and adopted the name Dash, which stands for "digital cash"1. Since then, Dash has gained popularity and acceptance worldwide, offering fast and affordable online transactions through its decentralized network and unique governance structure2.
