Owned by the people

Community owned, no paywalls, no censorship.

  • Fully community owned with one member, one vote
  • No censorship of viewpoints; only abuse is blocked
  • Completely free: no subscriptions, no purchases, no crypto
  • Transparency, anti‑capture rules, and multisig keys

Who runs it (proposed roles)

Clear responsibilities, minimal bureaucracy.

Members

Vote on resource allocations, stewards, and major policy changes. One member, one vote.

Steward council

Sets high-level priorities, publishes reports, and coordinates community decisions.

Maintainers

Ship releases, manage security updates, and keep the protocol and client reliable.

Security response

Handles coordinated vulnerability disclosure and incident response.

Key signers

Multisig approvals for critical keys and releases; prevents unilateral changes.

Moderation

Abuse response, network protection, and a documented appeals process (no viewpoint censorship).

Community guarantees

Non-negotiable rules baked into governance.

Fully community owned

No special shares, no private control. Stewards are elected and removable by members.

No censorship

The network does not filter or alter outputs based on viewpoint. Only abuse and attacks are blocked.

Free, no money or crypto

No subscriptions, no paid tiers, no tokens. Credits are earned only by contributing compute.

How it’s run (day-to-day)

  1. Operate the scheduler and verification services with public uptime/incident reporting.
  2. Maintain the node client with reproducible releases and clear change logs.
  3. Enforce abuse limits so free best-effort access stays usable.
Operations (no money, no crypto): running costs are covered by donated infrastructure and volunteer time. No subscriptions, no token sales, no paid priority lanes.
