Decred is a hybrid proof-of-work / proof-of-stake cryptocurrency with on-chain governance: blocks are mined by PoW but validated by PoS tickets bought from a ticket pool. The network endpoint returns the chain head (best block, PoW difficulty, stake difficulty, ticket pool); the staking endpoint returns ticket-pool size and value, the current and next ticket price (stake difficulty) and next-price estimates; the supply endpoint returns the mined and ultimate DCR supply and percent issued; the block endpoint returns any block by height or hash; the address endpoint returns an address's received, sent and unspent DCR. Live, no key, nothing stored. Distinct from the Bitcoin, EOS, Internet Computer and other on-chain APIs and from price feeds — this is Decred's own hybrid PoW/PoS ticket pool, stake and on-chain governance layer.",
