Core Values

The core values of HyperCore One are Sovereignty, Civility, and Prosperity.

At a high level, we can summarize our values as

• build robust systems that respect the user and don't require trust
• allow for opt-in trust of varying levels to create efficiency and opportunity
• align incentives to create trust and efficiently allocate resources to create value

Sovereignty

We believe users should have control over their property, data, and capital. We assume users have sovereignty by default and treat the issue as a moral constraint rather than as a goal to be achieved. We develop systems as free and open-source software, as users first must be able to control and verify what their machines do. We assume conditions of no trust as the base case, so systems we build must be robust under those conditions. When it comes to distributed ledgers, users must be able to verify the integrity of their capital and the status of their transactions. Integrity of capital requires users to be to verify total supply as well as their own respective balances. Relevant software therefore must be not only free and open-source, but accessible to users when it comes to resource demands. As a practical matter, this means targeting consumer grade hardware.
