What is the Elements Project?
7-
-----------------
8-
Elements is an open source collaborative project where we work on a collection
9-
of experiments to more rapidly bring technical innovation to Bitcoin. Elements
10-
are features that are proposed and developed in this technical community that in

Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to
22-
anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate
23-
with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried
24-
out collectively by the network. Elements Alpha is the name of open source
25-
software which enables the use of this currency.
10+
The latest feature in the Elements blockchain platform is Confidential Assets,
11+
the ability to issue multiple assets on a blockchain where asset identifiers
12+
and amounts are blinded yet auditable through the use of applied cryptography.
