Behind the scenes, the Dowcoin network is sharing a public ledger/record called the "blockchain". This record contains each exchange at any point handled enabling a client's PC to confirm the legitimacy of every exchange. The authenticity of each transaction is protected by digital signatures corresponding to the sending addresses, allowing all users to have full control over sending Dowcoins from their own Dowcoin addresses. It is also important to note that Dowcoin was developed on the Ethereum blockchain and as such, the token will be independent and can run without third-party interference.

Nobody owns the Dowcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind email. Dowcoin is controlled by all Dowcoin users around the world. Keeping in mind the end goal to remain perfect with each other all clients need to utilize programming consenting to similar standards. Dowcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus.
