 		The Particl Marketplace is a decentralized marketplace that allows two users to buy and sell anything from each other without the assistance of any third-party (i.e. bank, payment processor, centralized marketplace, etc). It is Particl's flagship application and provides much more privacy, security, and freedom than typical marketplaces. Since it is decentralized, it charges no sales commission and other similar types of fees. 
 
    Particl's Open Market Protocol (OMP)
-		The OMP is the back-end protocol that makes the Particl Marketplace possible. It is the framework that defines how marketplace transactions, orders, listings, and other key eCommerce functionalities are to be processed by the SMSG network and the Particl Blockchain. It is the "glue" that sticks everything together. If Particl Desktop is what people use to access the marketplace (the front end), the OMP is what makes it possible in the background (the back-end). To learn more about the OMP Library, head over to the `Open Market Protocol Wiki page <https://particl.wiki/learn/marketplace/open-market-protocol/>`_.

    Particl Desktop
 		Particl Desktop is the main client of the Particl Project and is a user-friendly interface into the Particl network. It is the main point of access into the Particl ecosystem and lets users complete all basic activities one would expect to do on Particl. This includes making cryptocurrency transactions, using the Particl Marketplace, sending messages to other users, and so on.
