Anchors are necessary for cryptographically proving transactions.<\/li><li><strong>Transaction Batching: <\/strong>The ability for transactions to be batched must exist, such that a set of transactions is processed in a specific order. Synthetic transactions sent between BVNs must be batched.<\/li><li><strong>Validator Onboarding: <\/strong>To secure the Accumulate, validators are needed to verify transactions. Accumulate can begin to onboard external parties to participate in validation.<\/li><li><strong>Fee Schedule: <\/strong>Every action in Accumulate requires Credits. The Accumulate <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.accumulatenetwork.io\/accumulate\/protocol-overview\/fees\">fee schedule<\/a> outlines credits required per each action.<\/li><li><strong>Burning Tokens:<\/strong> ACME Tokens that are burned when purchasing credits will be added to the uncirculated supply.<\/li><li><strong>API Changes to V0.2: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.accumulatenetwork.io\/accumulate\/developers\/api\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See changes here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Command Line Interface<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Multi-sig: <\/strong>Individuals or enterprises can construct sophisticated Multi-sig transactions. Multi-sig transactions are specified by m of n keys required within a Key Page.<\/li><li><strong>ADI Scratch Accounts:<\/strong> An ADI scratch account can write data to the blockchain that is pruned over a certain period of time (roughly 2 weeks). In Accumulate there are ADI Scratch Data Accounts and ADI Scratch Token Accounts. Because the Data is pruned, Scratch Data and Token transactions are cheaper.<\/li><li><strong>Scratch Spaces<\/strong>: This is a transient blockchain (data is stored for 2-3 weeks) with fast block times that allows different parties to reach a consensus off-chain (e.g. they are negotiating the terms of a deal and developing a multi-signature smart contract).&nbsp;Scratch Spaces are good for privacy because a user may not want to broadcast their decision-making process to the main blockchain. Scratch Spaces reduces cost because a user posts the conclusion, not the work. Instead of a dozen transactions (the work), you post 1 transaction (the conclusion).<\/li><li><strong>Token Issuer:<\/strong> Custom tokens can be created on Accumulate.<\/li><li><strong>Lite Data Chain: <\/strong>A data chain that anyone can hash data to.<\/li><li><strong>Credits:<\/strong> In order to execute a transaction, credits must be funded in the lite token account or ADI Key Page.
