Welcome to the Corda repository!
================================
.. warning:: This build of the docs is from the *master branch*, not a milestone release. It may not reflect the
current state of the code.
This documentation describes Corda, a proposed architecture for distributed ledgers, the vision for which is outlined in the `Corda Introductory Whitepaper`_.
.. _`Corda Introductory Whitepaper`: _static/corda-introductory-whitepaper.pdf
The goal of this prototype is to explore fundamentally better designs for distributed ledgers than what presently exists
on the market, tailor made for the needs of the financial industry. We are attempting to prove or disprove the
following hypothesis:
The combination of
* An upgraded state transition model
* Industry standard, production quality virtual machines and languages
* An advanced orchestration framework
* Limited data propagation
* Conflict resolution without proof of work or blocks
is sufficiently powerful to justify the creation of a new platform implementation.
