Blockchains

Both CRDT applications and blockchains can preserve history and provenance, but they solve different problems. A blockchain provides a consensus/settlement network with its own costs, identity, and finality model. HyperToken provides application-level CRDT convergence, offline forks, and local replay; it does not provide economic finality, token ownership, censorship resistance, or a ledger shared beyond its participants.

Use an external ledger when legal or economic settlement requires it. Use HyperToken for game state and simulations where low latency and offline work matter. It is not a blockchain replacement, and provenance fields are not on-chain proof.
