The Silent Network
A supply chain wants two things that fight each other: everyone must be able to verify the chain, and nobody may learn who else is in it. The usual answer picks one and loses the other. Here every participant stands under a handle that means nothing, and two handles raise disclosure one rung at a time — each rung revealing strictly more, and never climbed by one hand alone.

Raise disclosure
An offer alone reveals nothing. The rung opens only when the other handle files a matching offer, and it opens at the lower of the two.
The roll, as one handle sees it — 0
No handle stands in the network yet.
