Introduction to Corda Network
-----------------------------
[Corda Network](https://corda.network/) is an publicly-available internet of Corda nodes operated by network participants. Each
node is identified by a certificate issued by the network's identity service, and will also be identifiable on a network map.
[Corda Network](https://corda.network/) is a publicly-available internet of Corda nodes operated by network participants. Each
node is identified by a certificate issued by the network's identity service, and will also be discoverable on a network map.
Corda Network enables interoperability – the exchange of data or assets via a secure, efficient internet layer – in a way
that isn't possible with separate, isolated Corda networks. A common trust root surrounds all transactions, and a consistent set of
network parameters ensures all participants may transact with each other.
The network went live in December 2018, and is currently governed by R3. An independent, not-for-profit foundation has been
set-up to govern the network, and a transitional board of participants will be elected in Spring 2019, which will oversee the foundation
until democratic elections are held a year later. See the [governance model](https://corda.network/governance/governance-guidelines.html)

The Corda design separates correctness consensus from uniqueness consensus, and the latter is provided by one or more Notary
Services. The Notary will digitally sign a transaction presented to it, provided no transaction referring to
any of the same inputs has been previously signed by the Notary, and the transaction timestamp is within bounds.
