Governance
Conduct Protocol is committed to building a secure, scalable, and community-driven mobile blockchain ecosystem. While our approach to governance prioritizes security and stability, we actively welcome community input and ecosystem development.
Current Governance Model
Security-First Development
Conduct Protocol operates as a closed-source project to maintain the highest security standards for our mobile-first blockchain infrastructure. This decision is driven by several critical factors:
Why Closed Source?
- Enhanced Security: Protecting against potential attack vectors that could compromise the network
- Mobile-First Complexity: Safeguarding proprietary optimizations for mobile blockchain operations
- Bitcoin Integration: Securing the unique mechanisms that integrate Bitcoin transaction fees into our consensus model
- Early Stage Protection: Ensuring protocol stability during critical development phases
By maintaining closed-source code during our initial phases, we can thoroughly audit, test, and harden the protocol before wider exposure. This approach prioritizes the security of your funds and the integrity of the network.
Community-Driven Evolution
While the core protocol is currently closed source, your voice matters. We believe the strongest protocols are built with community insight and real-world feedback.

- ✅ Gathering community feedback
Future Evolution
As Conduct Protocol matures, we envision:
Progressive Decentralization
- Gradual transition to more open governance structures
- Community participation in protocol decisions
- Transparent proposal and voting mechanisms
Potential Governance Features
- On-chain governance for protocol parameters
- Community proposal submission systems
- Token-weighted voting mechanisms
- Delegate representation models
Open Source Consideration
- Selective open-sourcing of non-critical components
- Developer tools and SDKs released publicly
- Collaboration with security researchers
- Bug bounty programs with responsible disclosure
Major governance updates will be announced through our official Community channels. We're committed to transparency as our governance model evolves.
Governance Principles
As we develop our governance framework, we're guided by these core principles:
1. Security First
Network security and user fund safety are non-negotiable priorities in all decisions.
2. Mobile Accessibility
Governance mechanisms must be accessible to mobile users, aligning with our mobile-first mission.
3. Community Voice
Decisions should reflect the needs and insights of our diverse community—developers, validators, and users.
4. Sustainable Growth
Governance should support long-term protocol sustainability over short-term gains.
5. Transparent Communication
Even in closed-source development, we commit to clear communication about direction and decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why not open source from day one?
Security is paramount in blockchain infrastructure. By maintaining closed-source code during our initial development, we can identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This approach has been successfully used by many security-critical projects.
Will Conduct Protocol ever be open source?
We're evaluating progressive open-sourcing as the protocol matures. This may include developer tooling, non-critical infrastructure, and eventually core components after thorough security hardening.
How can I influence protocol development?
Submit detailed feature proposals to support@conductprotocol.xyz, participate in community discussions, build applications on the protocol, and provide user feedback. Your input directly shapes our roadmap.
Can I build commercial applications on Conduct Protocol?
Absolutely! We encourage ecosystem development. Reach out to discuss your project, potential integrations, and how we can support your success.
We're building Conduct Protocol with you, not just for you. Your ideas, feedback, and applications are essential to creating the world's leading mobile blockchain ecosystem.
