Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)
Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.Seasonal Chart
Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.Dash Markets
Dash Historical Data
About Dash (DASH)
Dash (DASH) is a cryptocurrency designed for everyday payments. Its first block was mined on January 18, 2014, with no premine, and the original whitepaper was published under the name Darkcoin. Dash is based on Bitcoin's code and keeps proof-of-work mining, but it adds a second layer of servers called masternodes. FMchart tracks DASH with a composite price that pools trading on several big exchanges and converts it to dollars.
Miners plus masternodes
Dash runs a two-tier network. Miners use the X11 hashing algorithm and add a block about every 2.6 minutes. Masternodes are full nodes whose owners must hold 1,000 DASH as collateral. The coins stay under the owner's control, but spending them drops the masternode out of the payment queue. In return for hosting a server, masternode owners receive a share of the block reward. Blocks can hold up to 2MB, which allows about 56 transactions per second, and ASIC mining hardware is available for X11.
InstantSend, ChainLocks and CoinJoin
Masternodes power the features that set Dash apart. InstantSend fully confirms payments within about two seconds, which suits shops and point-of-sale use. ChainLocks has masternodes sign blocks as they are mined, which guards the chain against 51% attacks. CoinJoin is an optional privacy tool that mixes coins from several users so payments are harder to trace. Users decide whether to use it.
A self-funding treasury
Dash pays for its own development. The governance system sets aside 20% of the block subsidy for a treasury, which is paid out monthly. Teams submit budget proposals, and masternode owners vote on them. A proposal gets funded when its yes votes minus no votes exceed 10% of all eligible votes. Each regular masternode casts one vote, while an evonode's vote counts as four.
Evonodes and Dash Platform
Evolution masternodes, or evonodes, require 4,000 DASH and host Dash Platform. This added layer stores application data through a component called Drive and gives developers access through an interface called DAPI. The idea is to let apps run on top of the payment network without relying on a central server. Platform depends on the same masternode network that secures the rest of Dash. To use Platform, people lock DASH into a credit pool on the main chain and can later unlock it back into regular DASH.
Supply schedule and risks
The block subsidy falls by about 7.14% each year, and Dash's documentation puts the final supply between 17.74 million and 18.92 million coins. Dash competes with many payment networks and with stablecoins. Its optional privacy feature can draw closer attention from regulators and exchanges. Voting power sits with masternode owners, so holders of large stakes carry most of the influence over funding.

Dash (DASH) FAQ
What is Dash (DASH)?
Dash is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency built for fast, low-cost payments. It launched in January 2014 and adds a network of masternodes to Bitcoin-style mining. Masternodes enable instant confirmations, optional CoinJoin privacy and a treasury that funds development through votes. DASH is the coin used on that network.
What is a Dash masternode?
A masternode is a server that holds 1,000 DASH as collateral and performs extra work for the network. Masternodes power InstantSend, ChainLocks, CoinJoin and governance, and their owners vote on treasury proposals. They earn part of each block reward. Evonodes, which need 4,000 DASH, also host Dash Platform.
Is Dash a privacy coin?
Not by default. Dash payments are visible on the blockchain unless the user chooses CoinJoin, an optional feature that mixes coins from several people to make tracing harder. That makes Dash different from coins where every transaction is shielded. Privacy options like this can draw extra scrutiny from regulators and exchanges.
What is Dash trading at right now?
DASH changes hands near $54.83, according to FMchart's composite, which pools trading on several big exchanges in dollars. Total trading in the last 24 hours is close to $13.94M across the exchanges in FMchart's composite. Prices on an individual platform can drift a little from this combined number at any given moment.
How many Dash coins exist, and what is the maximum supply?
About 12,878,394 DASH are in circulation. Dash's documentation expects the final supply to settle between 17.74 million and 18.92 million coins, because the block subsidy shrinks about 7.14% a year. Today's price puts Dash's market cap near $706.1M, which ranks it 89 among cryptocurrencies.
What is Dash's record high price?
Dash's record high is $1,493.59, set on Dec 19, 2017. For long stretches since then, the coin has traded far below that mark. Old records do not tell you where DASH goes next. Price Statistics compares the current price with that peak and with the lowest price Dash has ever recorded.
How has DASH done month by month?
In FMchart's composite price history (since September 2019), January 2020 (+181.5%) stands out as Dash's strongest month and May 2021 (-38.2%) as its weakest. Each month has its own cell in the Monthly Returns (USD) grid, while Annual Price (USD) Change sums up whole years. Uneven results like these do not predict later returns.
Was Dash called Darkcoin?
Yes. The project's original whitepaper was published under the name Darkcoin, and Dash's own documentation still links to it. The coin now trades under the name Dash, with a focus on payments. Its first block was mined on January 18, 2014, without a premine.
Is Dash a good investment?
FMchart does not provide investment advice. Dash offers instant payments, optional privacy and a self-funding treasury. Against that, it competes with stablecoins and other payment networks, its privacy option can limit exchange access in some places, and masternode owners hold most of the voting power. DASH has been very volatile.
What affects the DASH price?
DASH tends to follow Bitcoin and the wider crypto market. Coin-specific factors include merchant and payment adoption, exchange listings, regulatory views on privacy features, treasury spending decisions and progress on Dash Platform. New supply shrinks by about 7.14% each year, which reduces the flow of fresh coins from mining.
