The BitShares platform will eventually grow to include a variety of different applications built upon a shared foundation of open source software known as the BitShares Toolkit. Bitshares PTS uses the core implementation of the BitShares Toolkit.
The BitShares platform enables more than just currency. It is software that can be used to build a variety of different autonomous business applications. Any person who uses BitShares software to build such an application is encouraged to give back a percentage of the value they create to current holders of BitShares PTS. This voluntary grant to PTS shareholders is commonly referred to as the Bitshares social consensus. In this way, your investment in BitShares PTS can earn you a share of any technology built on the BitShares software!
