CENTRE WHITEPAPER

   DOCUMENT VERSION 2.0 

While the initial CENTRE node implementation (unlike 

the original Circle implementation of the protocols) 

is intended to operate on Ethereum, the use of state 

channels allows the network to be implemented on 

multiple blockchains and perform atomic transfers 

across blockchains. Thus in the future, participants 

would not necessarily be limited to Ethereum and 

new blockchains could be added to the network.
