# Amaroo

> Amaroo is an ultra-scalable multi-chain network built on a new consensus strategy, Ultra Terminum with Proof of Reflection. It provides the ability to scale without compromising on decentralization or security. Native integrations to external chains allow assets (native coins, stablecoins, tokens, tokenized assets) to trade freely across a non-custodial infrastructure without relying on bridges or third-party oracles. The internet let networks communicate without anyone in the middle. Amaroo does the same for assets and chains.

Key facts:

- Consensus: Ultra Terminum (how reflections become a network’s consensus), with Proof of Reflection (how chains count each other’s work)

## Learn

- [Concepts](https://amaroo.com/learn): How Amaroo works: reflection, the network it makes, exchange across chains and building on it, with the concepts under each and the library.
- [Proof of Reflection](https://amaroo.com/learn/proof-of-reflection): Proof of Reflection is a consensus technique: a chain counts the work of other chains that record its history, designed so that attacking it means attacking them too.
- [Ultra Terminum](https://amaroo.com/learn/ultra-terminum): Ultra Terminum is Amaroo’s consensus strategy: it applies Proof of Reflection across a whole network of chains, designed so that attacking one simplex chain is as hard as attacking the whole network.
- [Simplex](https://amaroo.com/learn/simplex): The simplex is the network Amaroo’s chains form when every chain reflects every other: in the whitepaper’s words, “many blockchains becoming one coherent network.”
- [DEX infrastructure](https://amaroo.com/learn/dex-infrastructure): The Amaroo DEX infrastructure is the exchange built into Amaroo’s chains: one order book per coin, priced against ROO, matched in every block.
- [Token](https://amaroo.com/learn/token): ROO is the Amaroo network’s token. It pays the fee on every transaction on the simplex, prices every order book, and is locked as collateral and escrow while trades settle.
- [Dapp-chains](https://amaroo.com/learn/dapp-chains): A dapp-chain is an application chain with its own rules, which can be anchored to Amaroo’s network for ordering and confirmation.

## Use cases

- [Traders and market makers](https://amaroo.com/use-cases/traders): Rebalance across every chain and pay no one in the middle: each leg of a route settles on its home chain, with no custodian holding your assets.
- [Institutions](https://amaroo.com/use-cases/institutions): Every chain, under your controls. Your mandate sets rules for custody, controls and audit.
- [Asset issuers](https://amaroo.com/use-cases/issuers): Issue once. Trade on every chain. Settle by proof. You issue on the chains your holders use, and each deployment becomes its own market.
- [Agents](https://amaroo.com/use-cases/agents): Settlement an agent can verify. An agent is software that acts and pays for someone.
- [Builders](https://amaroo.com/use-cases/builders): Build on the network. Run your application on a chain of its own, with your rules and your consensus.
