Ante = Credible Commitments

Commitments are hard. Entering into an agreement with someone else typically involves either handshakes and verbal promises (easy to break) or lawyers and courts (slow and expensive).

Cryptography changes this. Commitments can be permanently inscribed onto blockchains with publicly verifiable authorship and made credible by staking crypto behind them.

Ante.xyz aims to let anyone make credible commitments (like claims, promises, and secrets) more quickly and cheaply.
