Research Status

HODLXXI is an ongoing research project. It examines whether long-term coordination can be supported by cryptographic commitments without centralized authority.

Current Phase

• Conceptual framework and threat model drafted.
• Reference materials available for review.
• Implementations exist, but none are canonical or endorsed.

Evidence and Testing

• No formal proofs of effectiveness.
• No large-scale adversarial testing.
• Results are implementation-dependent and should be reported with context.

Open Questions

• How do time-locked commitments interact with real-world incentives?
• What privacy guarantees remain under sustained observation?
• Which governance patterns, if any, preserve exit and forkability over decades?

Expectations

• Failure is a valid outcome.
• Fragmentation and competing interpretations are expected.
• Claims should be limited to what can be reproduced and verified in code.
