The first chapter is here. Explore the permanent Earth genesis.

For developers

Build for what comes next.

The protocol is open to inspection. Start with the exact source, follow the evidence, and help turn long-term requirements into verifiable engineering.

THE STACK

Rust at the core.
Evidence throughout.

The published release includes protocol source, operating material, verification tools, and versioned genesis artifacts.

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
# From the published source archive
# Requires the pinned Rust toolchain

cargo build --locked --release -p rld-pow
cargo test --locked --release -p rld-pow

# Follow NODE-GUIDE.md in the release to join

Build and test locally, then follow the release’s node guide to pin the existing network, connect a peer, and enable mining.

rld-core

Protocol types, ledgers, transactions, transfer proofs, and verification.

rld-pow / rldpow

Automatic mining, signed local transfers, durable blocks, greatest-work selection, and peer synchronization.

rld-signer / rld-witness

Isolated signing, durable authorization, state witnessing, and recovery checks.

rld-cli / rld-sim

Command-line tools and local scenarios for multi-Zone communication.

vectors / tools / formal

Test vectors, verification programs, and formal models.

START WITH VERIFICATION

Useful work starts
with a precise question.

Reproducible findings help the project move forward. Public source availability does not mean the protocol has received an independent security audit.

Reproduce a result

Record the exact release, toolchain, inputs, commands, and output. Distinguish simulations from real network evidence.

Review a boundary

Inspect authorization, duplicate imports, replay, incomplete proofs, and recovery behavior. Use an isolated environment.

Discuss an improvement

Bring a concrete issue or design question to the forum. For vulnerability disclosure, follow SECURITY.md in the source archive.

Every claim should have a record.
