Dash is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency with a strong focus
on the payments industry. Dash offers a form of money that is portable,
inexpensive, divisible and fast. It can be spent securely both online
and in person with only minimal transaction fees. Based on the Bitcoin
project, Dash aims to be the most user-friendly and scalable payments
system in the world. In addition to Bitcoin's feature set, Dash
currently also offers instant transactions (:ref:`instantsend`), private
transactions (:ref:`coinjoin`) and operates a self-governing and
self-funding model that enables the Dash network to pay individuals and
businesses for work that adds value to the network. This
:ref:`decentralized governance and budgeting system <governance>` makes
it one of the first ever successful decentralized autonomous
organizations (DAO).

If you are new to cryptocurrencies, the most important change to
understand is that transactions occur directly between two parties
without any central authority to facilitate the transaction. This also
means that you are responsible for your own security - there is no bank
or credit card company to reverse a transaction if your funds are stolen
or lost. In this sense, it is similar to cash or gold, but
cryptocurrency can be spent locally and internationally with equal ease,
if you are confident you are sending funds to the right destination. For
these reasons, the Dash documentation has a strong focus on safety and
understanding the concepts and features that drive the Dash ecosystem.

Sentinel
=========

.. attention::

Sentinel was deprecated in Dash Core v20.0 when its functionality was
integrated into Dash Core.

Introduced in Dash 0.12.1, Sentinel is an autonomous agent for
persisting, processing and automating Dash governance objects and tasks.
Sentinel is implemented as a Python application that binds to a local
version dashd instance on each Dash masternode.

A Governance Object (or "govObject") is a generic structure introduced
in Dash 0.12.1 to allow for the creation of Budget Proposals and
Triggers. Class inheritance has been utilized to extend this generic
object into a "Proposal" object to supplant the current Dash budget
system.
