Yellow
Yellow is a Web3 infrastructure ecosystem designed to enable decentralized clearing, settlement, and cross-chain financial coordination. The system is built around a Layer 3 architecture, combining Ethereum-based settlement with off-chain state-channel execution to support real-time, non-custodial transaction processing.YELLOW operates on Ethereum as a ERC-20 token. On top of this foundational layer,Yellow deploys the Nitro Lite protocol, a state-channel framework that allows participants to transact off-chain while retaining the ability to execute final settlement on-chain. Off-chain transactions are jointly signed cryptographically by participants, while disputes can be resolved through on-chain smart contracts.Yellow The network connects brokers, decentralized applications, liquidity providers, and node operators through a unified clearing framework. Within each state channel, at least one participant operates as a clearing node, providing liquidity routing and blockchain abstraction for supported networks. The ecosystem also includes Yellow an SDK that enables developers to integrate applications without directly managing state-channel infrastructure.
