About
In medieval markets, commerce was authorised by the Terce bell — the third canonical hour, mid-morning, the precise moment trade was legally permitted to begin. The counter opened. Merchants exchanged. The counter closed. No record was required beyond what the parties themselves kept.
Terce operates in that same tradition. It is not a bank, a broker, or a custodian. It is a counter — a mechanism that opens when you need it, processes your exchange, and closes. The only record of your transaction exists in the blockchain itself.
The gap between "medieval market-opening bell" and "cryptocurrency exchange" is the entire point. The name is the function. Most people won't know without asking. That's correct.
