A protocol for small transfers
Cassis is a way to leverage (and enhance) social trust in order to send satoshis without incurring in complicated and costly blockchain operations.

LearnCassis works in a traditional client-server topology, and only touches Bitcoin indirectly, therefore it is very easy to reason about and to implement wallets that talk to it.
There is no need to run a daemon, to run a Bitcoin node or to worry about backups, seeds or exposed hot wallets.
Because it never touches the blockchain, transfer made through Cassis can be many orders of magnitude cheaper than other methods of making Bitcoin payments.
A Cassis Registry creates atomic transfers using pre-authorized scopes from participants. It's a fast operation with no communication overhead that takes less than a second.
Cassis relies on friend-to-friend trust networks, so it in some ways it can also strenghten trust ties and grow communities of Bitcoiners, which is always good.
Since Cassis transfers are not ever expected to be settled individually, they can power all types of commerce and online use-cases, including the dream of micropayments.
