Governance

HODLXXI does not prescribe a governance mechanism. It treats governance as local, reversible, and non-authoritative.

Core Positions

• No canonical deployment or steering committee.
• Forking is the default response to disagreement.
• Rules should be encoded, inspectable, and changeable by those who run the software.

Implementation Guidance

• Avoid privilege hierarchies that cannot be exited.
• Publish upgrade paths and downgrade options.
• Document how disputes are handled; do not rely on implicit trust.

Non-Goals

• No voting system is provided for “truth” or “legitimacy.”
• No promise of stable policy across implementations.
• No attempt to optimize social outcomes globally.
