\begin{abstract}
The \blockchain\ is an open source development platform for advanced blockchain
applications that can be used by millions of users.
It offers native support for many commonly used
blockchain features: state channels, naming system, oracles, as well as a
secure, functional and highly efficient smart contract language (Sophia) and
virtual machine (FATE).

In this white paper we explain the above mentioned concepts of the
\blockchain\ and highlight the design decisions. The
paper provides a high-level overview of the current state of the
technology, implemented in Erlang. Further, an outlook into the future is provided and differences
to the 2017 \blockchain\ are pointed out. For more specific implementation
details we refer to the \aet\ protocol description
and the open source code fully available on GitHub.
