Mike Hearn c05b5911c6 Rename the new platform white paper back to introductory white paper,
because there are still quite a few links to the old name and URL even
within our own repository.

Reformat docsite slightly to make the white papers more prominent.

Also link to the Chinese/Japanese translations of the old paper.

Make the build script do both platform/intro and tech white papers.

Welcome to Corda !

Corda is an open-source blockchain platform. If youd like a quick introduction to blockchains and how Corda is different, then watch this short video:

If you want to start coding on Corda, then familiarise yourself with the key concepts </key-concepts>, then read our Hello, World! tutorial </hello-world-introduction>.

  • For the background behind Corda read the introductory white paper (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese).
  • For much more architectural detail, the technical white paper.

If you have questions or comments, then get in touch on Slack or ask a question on Stack Overflow .

We look forward to seeing what you can do with Corda!

Note

You can read this site offline. Either download the PDF or download the Corda source code, run gradle buildDocs and you will have a copy of this site in the docs/build/html directory.

Welcome to Corda, a platform for building decentralized applications. This guidebook covers everything you need to know to create apps, run nodes and networks, and operate your new decentralized business network.

If you're completely new to distributed ledger technology (DLT) or Corda and would like a business-oriented overview, we recommend reading the introductory white paper. If you'd like a detailed architectural description of how the Corda protocol works, why it's designed how it is and what future work is planned, we recommend reading the technical white paper. Both white papers can be found on the Corda documentation website.

But if you'd like to dive in and start writing apps, or running nodes, this guidebook is for you. It covers the open source Corda distribution. Commercial distributions (like Corda Enterprise from R3) have their own user guides that describe their enhanced features.

We look forward to seeing what you can do with Corda!
