Value Network

Value networks are networks of linked operators that act as a service to users, enabling the chaining of transactions to acquire a good that is not otherwise available.

The designated 'value' for each network can be a specific currency or good, or some combination - it depends on the underlying network. They are usually composable, meaning most networks can interconnect and transfer value between each other.

Most value networks are designed to allow the users to withdraw their value, exiting the network through methods allowed by the operator of the network - usually in the form of currency.

Value networks can be broken down into two main types - composable value networks and locked value networks.
