Patchwork was created to make better crypto-based apps. Patchwork is sort of like the ORM of dapps. We dreamt of a system where we could make data models in JSON and then just run a tool that generates interoperable contracts that have these data models implemented. We thought, "wouldn't it be cool if the schemas for the data were discoverable and standardized?" And then we did that. We then thought it would be amazing if there was a protocol that would mediate the transactions between contracts that would create data relationships - and then we made that too. Patchwork is everything we needed and wanted to make a bunch of new apps. We hope you like it too!
