our collaboration with @shopify showcases the power of smart contracts, and the expressivity of the @ethereum EVM in particular.

key verbs like Authorize, Capture, Charge, Void, Reclaim, and Refund are expressed as tight units of business logic in Solidity code.

Ethereum is the world computer. The universal platform for cryptocurrencies, blockchain apps, stablecoins, and decentralized technologies.

the core is the AuthCaptureEscrow contract, facilitating payments with the 2-step pattern of “authorization” and “capture” that credit cards use.

Directed opportunism x Things occurring of themselves

- Authorization places a hold on the payer's funds temporarily

- Capture distributes payment to the merchant

- an Operator facilitates payment state transitions, with cryptographic authorization from the payer and confirmation signals from the merchant

now buyers and sellers, merchants and markets, can build robust payment flows, without needing to give custody to a centralized processor.
