Bitshares is a Decentralised Autonomous Corporation that uses the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) governance system instead of the traditional Proof of Work (POW) used by bitcoin. The Bitshares has a core token BTS which is used to pay for fees on the network.
What DPOS means is that every bitshares stakeholder has a stake in the governance of the network, this stake is used to vote in delegates(committee) and block producers (witnesses) who ensure the smooth running of the network.
The bitshares Network is tailor made for everyone to be their own bank, here you can store your favourite currencies, trade real world assets, save money in stable coins and perform day day transactions with ease.
It has the following features:
Slow chains.. tremble.
