# CAD002: CVM Values

> Mandates that every value on the network is a pure immutable cell in a Merkle DAG — so hashes are stable identities, snapshots are O(1), and untrusted smart contracts can be handed references without defensive copying. This is the data-model prerequisite for everything the lattice does that a mutable-heap blockchain like Ethereum cannot.
