Infrastructure map

Infrastructure, arranged by the job it does.

A map of functions, not a directory of firms and not a ranking. Each cell is a page on this site. Paying to appear is not a category.

01
Issuance
Who may create the record, and which claim it is allowed to represent.
02
Registry
Which list of holders a court, a transfer agent, or a chain will treat as the record.
03
Custody
Who can sign, who can stop them, and under which control. We do not hold the assets.
04
Identity
Evidence of a business or a person, kept off the public chain.
05
Settlement
How an obligation is discharged. A message, a confirmation, and legal finality can differ.
06
Staking
A lock, a penalty, and a figure that is not a promise.
07
Data
How an off-chain fact enters the system, and what happens when it is wrong.
08
Agents
Software that can pay, inside a budget, a log, and a human stop.
09
Connected assets
A device, a proof, and a customer. Those are three facts.
10
Policy
The rules an operator will refuse to break. Not a statement that a product is licensed.

Relationship labels for products in the Blockchain Lab ecosystem sit on the portfolio, not on this map. A public product is not a claim of ownership.
