To put it very simply, the purpose is to develop software with provable correctness, fault tolerance and security using a category theoretic model of computation and programming. In particular, the goal is to do this in the context of distributed systems, where byzantine fault tolerance is a typically desirable property.
I’m not affiliated with Pyrofex, but I’m working on research in applied category theory and cryptography, and I’m familiar with Mike Stay’s publications. Category theory is broadly applicable to both programming theory and distributed systems, especially in the context of deterministic state machines.
