Bitshares is a cryptocurrency that enables a number of services, including a decentralized currency exchange, Smartcoins, and market-pegged assets such as bitUSD and bitCNY. Daniel Larimer wrote the software for Bitshares in 2014. Unlike Bitcoin, which uses a Proof of Work algorithm to maintain the integrity of the Bitcoin blockchain, Bitshares uses a Delegated Proof of Stake system. By using DPOS, Bitshares can support 100,000 transactions per minute, vs a dozen or so on the Blockchain network.
