# ivault’s Blockchain Ecosystem

ivault’s ecosystem is designed to support a dual blockchain model. There’s a dedicated blockchain for the ivault app and a publicly available token on public networks.

Tokens can be swapped between the dedicated ivault chain and public networks.

The ecosystem runs on the TEOS management engine. TEOS enables the dual system through sophisticated integrations and a dedicated operating system.
