Electronic Rights Transfer Protocol (ERTP)
Agoric empowers individuals to securely execute transactions, establish new markets, and craft novel patterns of exchange — without centralized control.
Better security architecture with OCaps
Agoric uses an object-capability model (OCaps) security architecture, in which access to a programming object itself is the authority to use the object.
Securely Create and Transfer Assets
All kinds of digital assets can be easily created, but importantly, they can be transferred in exactly the same ways, with exactly the same security properties.
Learn about ERTP (Electronic Rights Transfer Protocol), a uniform way of transferring tokens and other digital assets in JavaScript.
Check out Zoe, a smart contract framework responsible for enforcing what we call "offer safety". The smart contracts that run on top of Zoe are responsible for figuring out proposed reallocations of resources.
# The Platform
Building on 30 years of experience, Agoric is developing a secure distributed object-capabilities (OCap) platform for smart contracts and market-oriented programming. Our platform supports the development of smart contracts and market institutions across many different scales, from large public blockchains to small two-party contracts.
Our OCaps platform consists of:
- A robust architecture for building secure smart contracts.
- A foundation in JavaScript for maximum reach.
- A cryptographic routing fabric for inter-chain interoperability.
- A library of market abstractions and a framework for securely composing them.
- A framework for secure user interaction.
