Whether its banking, -stock exchanges, lotteries, voting, music, auctions or many others, a digital -public ledger allows for the creation of distributed autonomous companies (or -DACs) that provide better quality services at a fraction of the cost incurred by -their more traditional, centralized counterparts. The advent of DACs ushers in a -new paradigm in organizational structure in which companies can run without any -human management and under the control of an incorruptible set of business -rules. These rules are encoded in publicly auditable open source software -distributed across the computers of the companies’ shareholders, who -effortlessly secure the company from arbitrary control. - -BitShares does for business what bitcoin did for money by utilizing distributed -consensus technology to create companies that are inherently global, -transparent, trustworthy, efficient and most importantly profitable. - -BitShares Blockchain has enabled several financial innovations such as: User Issued Asset (UIA), Market Pegged Asset (MPA), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT), Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Hashed Time-lock Contract (HTLC). ## Wallet -This wallet allows access most features of the BitShares network including: + +This wallet allows access most features of the BitShares Blockchain including: - [BitAssets](/help/assets/mpa) - [User-Issued Assets](/help/assets/uia) -- [The DEX](/help/dex/introduction) +- [DEX](/help/dex/introduction) + The main focuses for the design of BitShares Blockchain Reference wallet and BitShares Blockchain are:
