Applications
These pages show ideas, not code. Each application is a composition of the same few primitives — covenants, timelocks, oracle signatures, proven Bitcoin facts, private transfers — enforced by consensus rather than operated by anyone.
| Application | Built from |
|---|---|
| Payments | private transfers, ~1 min finality |
| Escrow | proven Bitcoin fact releases a covenant |
| Delivery versus payment | atomic two-leg settlement |
| Vaults | covenant templates + timelocks |
| OTC settlement | quotes + atomic swaps, privately |
| Inheritance | timeouts + oracle signatures |
| Miner hedging | Bitcoin difficulty read in consensus |
| Stable value | covenant positions, never a minted currency |
One discipline governs all of them: the protocol ships primitives, builders ship applications. One working application justifies the whole network.
