Currency traits

This is a list of predefined currency traits and their relationships.

Traits are advisory tags stored in a registry separately from currency identity (see :traits and :hierarchies/:traits in configuration EDN, e.g. config.edn or seed.edn). They can be queried via:

• io.randomseed.bankster.currency/has-trait? (exact membership),
• io.randomseed.bankster.currency/of-trait? (hierarchy-aware, uses isa?).

This document reflects the default traits hierarchy shipped in seed.edn (see :hierarchies/:traits).
