# About DX DPoS

**Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)** is a [consensus](https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Consensus) algorithm developed to secure a [blockchain](https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Blockchain) by ensuring representation of transactions within it. DPoS is designed as an implementation of technology-based democracy, using voting and election process to protect blockchain from centralization and malicious usage. (reference: <https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/DPoS>)

Nowadays, DPoS as a consensus mechanism is applied to more and more cryptocurrencies. The validators are responsible for generating blocks and verifying transactions on the chain, greatly increasing the total throughput of the chain.&#x20;

DxChain DPoS Economic Model is the most Intelligent model that can adjust the amount of Delegates and Staking reward pool based on the number of total stakes on DxChain Network. We are aiming to ensure a sufficient yield rate and incentive to our community members by keeping the yield rate higher than 7%.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dxchain.gitbook.io/dxchain-wiki/stake-and-trade/about-dx-dpos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
