Yellow Apps

How Yellow Apps Work

Yellow Apps follow a simple lifecycle:

  1. Fund: Deposit tokens into the custody contract
  2. Channel: Create a state channel with another participant
  3. Connect: Establish WebSocket connection to ClearNode infrastructure
  4. Session: Create application-specific sessions for interactions
  5. Operate: Perform unlimited instant transactions
  6. Settle: Close sessions and withdraw funds

Key Features

Yellow Apps are built on high-performance decentralized applications that combine:

  • Speed of traditional web apps with instant off-chain transactions
  • Security and decentralization of blockchain technology
  • Real-time communication through WebSocket connections
  • Multi-party interactions with secure authentication

  • Instant transactions: No waiting for block confirmations
  • Low costs: Minimal on-chain transactions reduce gas fees
  • Scalability: Handle thousands of transactions per second
  • Security: All transactions are cryptographically secured
  • Interoperability: Works across multiple blockchain networks
