Direct answer

GHOST was more than a coin. McAfee and the later community proposed an ecosystem of exchange, messaging, browser-wallet, mobile-data, stablecoin, vault, tunnel, and chat components.

›GhostX — privacy-oriented exchange.
›Telaghost — private messaging.
›MetaGhost — browser wallet.
›Ghost Phone / eSIM — private data service.
›GHOST-DAI — private stablecoin.
›wGHOST / Polygon — wrapped token and bridge.
›GhostVault, Ghost Secure Tunnel, Ghost Chat — later components.
