Security has been DigiByte's cornerstone, with features like Dandelion++ for privacy and resistance to 51% attacks via multi-algorithm mining.
By avoiding ICOs, $DGB sidestepped the centralization that often accompanies large token allocations to VCs or founders, which can lead to governance issues or dumps.
#DigiByte touts "pure decentralization," with no partnerships, staking, or airdrops that could introduce vulnerabilities. This has contributed to its survival, as it operates as a fixed-supply (21 billion coins, fully mined by 2035) PoW chain, transitioning to transaction fees post-mining.
Comparatively, ICOs from the 2017 boom saw 46% failure by year's end, with many succumbing to hacks or regulatory crackdowns due to centralized control.
DigiByte's volunteer ethos and open-source nature under MIT license ensure transparency and community oversight, reducing scam risks that affected nearly half of 2017 ICOs lacking community support.
