# 2.3 Content Distribution Layer

In addition to the consensus layer, two other pivotal systems play a central role in the development of the Cypherverse's economy:

**Payment Channel Infrastructure**

This infrastructure is designed to facilitate rapid payments with minimal fees, enhancing the overall efficiency of economic transactions within the Cypherverse.

**Identity System**

The identity system empowers users to assert ownership over their original creations. It serves as a foundational element in recognizing and attributing creative contributions within the Cypherverse.

The description of a space within the Cypherverse encompasses several critical elements, including content files, scripting entry points, and P2P interaction capabilities:

**Content Files**

This category comprises references to or blobs with 3D meshes, textures, audio files, and other pertinent content essential for rendering the space. These specifications offer clients a clear understanding of the content required for rendering, without specifying how to position them.

**Scripting Entry Points**

The scripting system takes center stage in orchestrating the placement and behavior of content within a space. It facilitates the execution of applications and animations within the space, coordinating actions such as object positioning and movement, sound timing and frequency, user interactions, and a host of other features.

**P2P Interactions**

This facet empowers the client to connect to a server that bootstraps user-to-user connections, coordinates positions and postures, and enables voice chat and messaging. It lays the groundwork for immersive and dynamic interactions between users within the Cypherverse.

The Cypherverse's protocol layers form the bedrock of its decentralized virtual world, enabling seamless space ownership, content distribution, and dynamic interactions among its denizens. Through these foundational layers, the Cypherverse thrives as a thriving digital ecosystem, where creativity, commerce, and connectivity converge in a decentralized, borderless landscape.
