Note though some are intended for QA and debugging only:\n\n* Liquid mode: `elementsd -chain=liquidv1` (syncs with Liquid network)\n* Bitcoin mainnet mode: `elementsd -chain=main` (not intended to be run for commerce)\n* Bitcoin testnet mode: `elementsd -chain=testnet3`\n* Bitcoin regtest mode: `elementsd -chain=regtest`\n* Elements custom chains: Any other `-chain=` argument. It has regtest-like default parameters that can be over-ridden by the user by a rich set of start-up options.\n\nConfidential Assets\n----------------\nThe latest feature in the Elements blockchain platform is Confidential Assets,\nthe ability to issue multiple assets on a blockchain where asset identifiers\nand amounts are blinded yet auditable through the use of applied cryptography.\n\n * [Announcement of Confidential Assets](https://blockstream.com/2017/04/03/blockstream-releases-elements-confidential-assets.html)\n * [Confidential Assets Whitepaper](https://blockstream.com/bitcoin17-final41.pdf) to be presented [April 7th at Financial Cryptography 2017](http://fc17.ifca.ai/bitcoin/schedule.html) in Malta\n * [Confidential Assets Tutorial](contrib/assets_tutorial/assets_tutorial.py)\n * [Confidential Assets Demo](https://github.com/ElementsProject/confidential-assets-demo)\n * [Elements Code Tutorial](https://elementsproject.org/elements-code-tutorial/overview) covering blockchain configuration and how to use the main features.\n\nFeatures of the Elements blockchain platform\n----------------\n\nCompared to Bitcoin itself, it adds the following features:\n * [Confidential Assets][asset-issuance]\n * [Confidential Transactions][confidential-transactions]\n * [Federated Two-Way Peg][federated-peg]\n * [Signed Blocks][signed-blocks]\n * [Additional opcodes][opcodes]\n\nPrevious elements that have been integrated into Bitcoin:\n * Segregated Witness\n * Relative Lock Time\n\nElements deferred for additional research and standardization:\n * [Schnorr Signatures][schnorr-signatures]\n\nAdditional RPC commands and parameters:\n* [RPC Docs](https://elementsproject.org/en/doc/)\n\nThe CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS,\nand that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.\n\nLicense\n-------\nElements is released under the terms of the MIT license.
