Shinzo runs on four ideas that show up everywhere in the stack: Views, Attestation, DefraDB, and the SHNZ token. The How it works page covers how they fit together end to end.

Each concept has its own page below:

  • Views — what a View is, what it contains, and why it's designed the way it is.
  • Attestations — how Shinzo tracks how much of the network has independently agreed on a piece of data.
  • DefraDB — the peer-to-peer document database embedded in every component.
  • Tokenomics — the economic unit flowing between developers, Hosts, and consumers.
