155155Azimuth is a general-purpose public-key infrastructure (PKI) on the Ethereum
156−blockchain, used as a decentralized ledger for Urbit identities that we call
157−**points**. Having a point is necessary to use the Urbit network, which makes it
158−important to have a neutral ledger to determine who owns what.

160161Azimuth is not, however, part of the Urbit stack. Azimuth is a parallel system
161162that can be used as a generalized identity system for other projects. Azimuth
162−"touches" the Urbit ecosystem when a point is used to boot a virtual computer
163−on the Urbit network for the first time. When that happens, the point considered
164−**linked** to Azimuth and the point’s full powers are available for use. Once a
165−point is linked, it cannot be unlinked.
