Open technology · Our design principles

Verify the work. Keep the freedom to leave.

Our Nakamoto standard is a project design commitment: open rules, proof-of-work education, individual control and systems that people can inspect and carry forward.

This is our interpretation of principles inspired by Bitcoin, not a certification or endorsement by Satoshi Nakamoto. Proof of work secures a transaction history; it does not prove a kitchen served a meal or that an investment is safe.

Git, static HTML & IPFS

Portable source and a site that can be independently hosted.

Source and static export work; new IPFS release and satnam.x deferred.

Independence is something we test

Keep source, content and evidence exportable. Practice restoring a site with a second operator. Prefer open protocols and minimize private data. Document who controls keys, domains, hosting and publication.

Today we still depend on GitHub, Vercel, hosting services and human-operated accounts. A decentralized ambition is not a claim of complete independence. We will publish the remaining dependencies and test replacements before claiming otherwise.

Bitcoin first, clear about other networks

Bitcoin anchors our monetary and verification education. Litecoin is a distinct proof-of-work network. Lightning is a payment network built around Bitcoin, not a new coin. Existing Arc, USDC and Morpho research remains a separate experimental workstream and is not required to learn, serve or create here.

Starting point: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. See the public architecture for current limitations.
