Like other decentralized electronic money, Decred uses encryption to secure transactions on his network and also to control the creation of new coins into the system. It has a public ledger in which all transactions are recorded.
Pros
Order sizes on both the buy and sell side of a trading pair have standardized lot sizes.
Cons
Relatively small and poorly visible ecosystem. Given a market cap that fluctuates between ~400 and ~800 million USD, the ecosystem of users and other participants seems very low. For example, this subreddit has only 8.5K readers, and something like a couple meaningful threads a day. I think there is more active discussion elsewhere (Slack, etc.), but these are not totally public facing and do not contribute to the public footprint of the project.
