!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] serves to distinguish between [Bitcoin] as an asset and the "[blockchain] as a programmable [distributed|Distributed system] [trust] infrastructure"[1] more generally, with additions of new scalable features of on-chain utility and extensibility. 

Instead of viewing the [blockchain] as part of the decentralization of money and payments, [{$pagename}] expands the scope of the technology to enable the [decentralization|Decentralised system] of markets more generally, and the transaction will involve other types of assets by providing registers for [certificates] and rights and obligations in real estate, IPR, cars, art works and so on.

As [{$pagename}] is code the new application is said to be running on a new set of protocols ("blockchain 2.0 protocol"). A comparison with the protocols of the [Internet] and its layer of stacks illustrates the relation between [blockchain] 1.0 and blockchain 2.0. 

[blockchain] can be viewed as the [TCP]/[IP] transport layer whereas the latter can viewed as [HTTP], [SMTP] and [FTP]. In this context [{$pagename}] applications would be akin to browsers, social networks and file sharing services[5].
