What Decimal is
Decimal (DEL) is a Layer-1 blockchain network, currently ranked 97th by market capitalization among the assets we track. As a proof-of-stake Layer-1, Decimal hosts applications, settles their transactions, and lets DEL holders earn yield by helping validate. Capital at stake — not electricity — is what keeps the chain honest.
Decimal (DEL) is a cryptocurrency designed to facilitate the easy and efficient exchange of digital assets. It aims to enhance user experience in trading and transactions within the blockchain ecosystem.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Because security is bought with bonded DEL rather than hardware, the share of supply staked is a useful gauge of conviction — and of how much float is effectively locked.
Under the hood, DEL secures its ledger with Delegated Proof of Stake, built on the Tendermint algorithm.
Background & fundamentals
Decimal first went live in 2020, giving it roughly 6 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in DEL.
CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Working product". In sector terms it is most often filed under Cryptocurrency and Delegated Proof Of Stake.
Where Decimal sits in the market
With DEL near $0.5506, Decimal carries a market capitalization of $612.34M. Around $79.25K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.01% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
Only ~12% of the 92.1B-DEL maximum supply is circulating today, so emissions remain a live factor in price discovery. DEL trades about -31% below its all-time high of $0.7929, within reach of prior peaks.
What the price history shows
The tape currently reads 24-hour -3.86%, 7-day -3.80%.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Decimal in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual.
How to evaluate Decimal
A grounded read on DEL comes down to three questions:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of DEL staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Decimal over competing Layer-1s.
