HODLXXI

What this is

HODLXXI is a Bitcoin-native research framework for studying long-term coordination with cryptographic identity, time-locked commitments, and voluntary participation.
This repository is document-first: it collects research notes, constraints, and reference materials so implementations can be inspected and challenged.

What this is not

• Not a token or investment vehicle
• Not a finished product or hosted service
• Not a canonical identity provider (implementations such as KeyAuth are independent)
• Not a governance authority or source of policy

How to read this project

1. Start with /docs/what_this_project_is_not and /docs/limits for boundaries.
2. Review /docs/research_status and /docs/threat_model_and_failure_modes for scope and risk.
3. Continue with /docs/how_it_works and /docs/architecture for conceptual flow.
4. Use /docs/academic_references_and_prior_art for citations and context.

Implementations

Any running service is non-canonical. KeyAuth is one independent implementation and may diverge from the research materials; use it for experimentation, not authority. Always verify behavior in the code you operate.

Status

Active research with open questions and expected failure modes. Forks and alternative interpretations are welcome and expected.
