How Sown works, in six short pages.

1. How a send works

   One approval in the sender's wallet does the send and the keep, in one Stellar transaction.

2. The envelope

   The waiting room between the send and the claim: a record on the Sown contract that only the link opens.

3. Why not claimable balances

   A claimable balance is the Stellar way to pay someone who is not there yet. Sown cannot use it for the people it is for.

4. What the issuer can do

   A kept balance is issued by someone. What they can do to it is written on their account, and Sown reads it there.

5. Fees, and who pays them

   The sender pays the network for the send. Sown's servers pay for everything the recipient does.

6. The limits

   What Sown is not, and the numbers it holds to.
