- Commit Block Chain - Improve transaction atomicity by creating a block chain of commit messages.
- Building Cells By Block Chain - Improve privacy and scalability by letting well-connected groups of peer endpoints self-organize into cells whose internal connections are then abstracted away from the greater network.
- Tunneling - Improve anonymity and privacy with secure communication tunnels to other endpoints.
- Proxies - Proxy transactions through other endpoints, obscuring the true source or destination of transactions.
- Solution Stack - All the other bits and pieces that form an overall distributed payments and marketplace product from a user perspective
