ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Open Network for Digital Commerce

Okay kiddo, imagine you wanted to buy some toys online. An open network for digital commerce is sort of like a really big toy store that's always open and you can buy things from it no matter where you are in the world.

This network has lots of different stores inside it, just like a real toy store has lots of different aisles. Some stores in the network might specialize in selling costumes, others might sell board games, and others might sell dolls.

In this network, you can use something called digital money (which is like pretend money on the computer) to buy things from the different stores. You don't have to use real money and you don't have to give anyone your credit card information.

Because the toy store is open to everyone, this also means that anyone can have a store inside it. This means that anyone who wants to can sell their toys, no matter where they are in the world.

Overall, an open network for digital commerce is a big online space with lots of different stores where you can buy things with digital money. It's like a toy store that never closes and anyone can join in.
