Our Principles
Transparency Over Trust
Don't trust, verify. Every transaction is on a public hash chain. Every line of code is open source. Our privacy claims are auditable.
Community Over Corporation
OpenHLM is not a company product. It's a community protocol. Contributors shape the direction. The community fund ensures long-term sustainability.
Privacy Is Non-Negotiable
We will never store your prompts. We will never sell your data. We will never add telemetry without consent. This is enforced by design, not policy.
Openness By Default
Open source code. Open protocol. Open pool creation. Open badge registry. The default is always open. Restrictions require community consensus.
