Protocol decisions should be discussable in public, with clear rationale and visible tradeoffs.

Inclusivity​

Teams building with Verax, maintaining Verax, or relying on Verax data should be able to participate in shaping its direction.

  • code maintenance;

  • improving protocol safety and discoverability.

Scope​
