C8 provides a global framework of interconnectivity that enables people to share their data and consume content.
The brand name C8 was created as an abbreviation of the word "Catallaxy", an alternative expression for the word 'economy'.
Whereas the word economy suggests that people in a community possess a common and congruent set of values and goals, catallaxy suggests that the emergent properties of a market (prices, division of labor, growth, etc.) are the outgrowths of the diverse and disparate goals of the individuals in a community.
