Dash Jumps to New All Time High on News of Arizona State University Partnership, Reaches Fifth Place in Market Cap

Fortune and Dash Force News both report that Dash is launching a “Blockchain Research Lab” in partnership with Arizona State University. The new lab will be hosted at ASU’s Fulton College of Engineering and will focus on such pertinent questions as scalability, mining centralization, Blockchain security and energy efficient mining.

Earlier this year, Dash established offices at ASU’s Skysong Innovation Center, a type of incubator for technology-related startups.

Self-funded

The Blockchain Research Lab was funded directly by the Dash network to the tune of $50,000. Dash employs an innovative model by which 45% of the block rewards go to miners, 45% go to special nodes called masternodes, and 10% goes to fund the decentralized budget system.

We believe our incentivized infrastructure model offers a viable path to providing the capacity required to operate at massive scale. Validating and improving our approach through rigorous research offers enormous potential benefits to users over the long-term.”
