System Primitives

This documentation is best read in order, starting with the Eco Whitepaper. After the Whitepaper, this documentation is intended to be a high-level technical explanation of how the Eco Protocol works. For reference, the smart contract source code can be found in the GitHub Repository. The core smart contracts are written in Solidity, and the Eco Protocol is deployed on Ethereum.

The core Eco contracts are deployed with specific primitives that help manage the entire system. This section goes over those primitives and explains them. They are important context for later sections of this documentation.
