Epicenter Core Values

maxfreeman4.substack.com

With the ongoing growth of the ecosystem around the Epic Blockchain protocol, we created this guide as a reference so people know what to expect from us. We believe in “I hear what you say, but I see what you do,” so don’t take our word for it, notice the design choices embedded in the architecture of our networks:

Our Values

We build systems with the following design goals:

  • Antifragility / Resilience

  • Censorship Resistance

  • Confiscation Resistance

  • Centralization Resistance

  • Fractional Reserve Resistance

  • Immutability

  • Permissionlessness

  • Scarcity

  • Trustlessness

Our Priorities

We build our technology this way because we believe these properties are important:

  • Liberty

  • Property

  • Privacy

  • Security

  • Reliability

Practices & Protocols

We ensure these outcomes by the application of proven methods and first-principles thinking:

  • Bitcoin Standard Emission

    • 21 million coins, quadrennial halvings - protects value of already-existing coins through enforced future scarcity

  • Community Governance

  • Fair Launch

  • High Assurance Engineering

    • Appropriate Languages

      • F#

      • Haskell

      • Rust

    • Automated Test Coverage - Cucumber

    • Documentation

    • Open Source

    • Peer Review

    • Safety Orientation

    • Simplicity

  • Iterative Development

  • Liftoff

  • Nakamoto Consensus

  • Open Forums

  • Regulatory Compatibility - design for compatibility with present & future securities law

  • Test in Production (on a chaosnet)
