Case: two paths to organize a business
Essence
There are two ways to organize a business. The traditional path — registration, bank, accountant, CRM, subscriptions, intermediaries. Each process is a separate service, a separate contract, a separate dependency.
The DLE operating system is a different approach. The smart contract becomes the company’s digital core. It selectively replaces individual products from various corporations that businesses pay for by subscription: a bank current account, outsourced accounting, CRM, cloud storage, messengers, AI services. Business assets and products (goods, services) are tokenized. Tokens become receipts, product passports, access rights. Smart contracts connect to production lines and keep precise accounting. Taxes are calculated automatically from operations. Deals run online.
All of this — on your server, under your control.
Below is a comparison by concrete parameters.
