Veres One is one of the blockchain ocap systems I mentioned.

Good stuff happening! Us cap-talk-ers should pay attention to these systems.

Manu, congrats!

Thanks Mark,

We're having a very good experience w/ object capabilities as applied to
decentralized ledgers. Over the past 6+ years, we've applied object
capabilities to our internal systems and this latest foray of object
capabilities into our decentralized ledgers is an extension of that
work. I'll try to write something more high level up wrt. why we picked
object capabilities for our systems in the coming months (finding the
time to do so has been elusive).

In the meantime, we are documenting the design thinking behind all of
this here:
