Real-Time Payments

The oil that makes the Network's economy run is a novel payment system and native currency. More than just a medium of exchange for data storage, it is a currency that can be transferred directly between users or devices in real-time.

Payments are highly parallelizable: the bigger the Network gets, the more payments it can handle.

This, combined with the Network's in-built storage, opens up a broad range of new capabilities impossible on blockchain, and without the limitations, costs and compromises required to use centralized services.
