Code of Conduct

Last updated: [2025-12-27]

1. Harassment & Consent

We operate on a strict opt-in protocol.

Respecting boundaries: If someone says "no," "stop," or physically disengages, the transaction is void. Continuing to push—whether for a debate, a pitch, or a chat—is a violation of the non-aggression principle..
Assume Zero Consent: Do not touch anyone without explicit permission. Do not photograph anyone wearing a "no photo" indicator where we have them.
Scope: This applies to all venues, afterparties, and the official digital channels.

Attention is the scarcest resource out here now. Do not steal it.

Signal vs noise: Do not corner people to pitch your tokens. Aggressive shilling is taxes on our collective cognitive load. Engage on fundamental engineering or philosophy and let price talk in the market.
Recruitment: Headhunting is acceptable; pestering builders in the flow state is not. Read the room.

Do not let the space devolve into another tragedy of the commons.

Property rights: Never touch another person's keyboard or unlocked laptop (or anything not explicitly yours, really). Building trustless systems does not absolve us of the need for physical integrity.
The Commons: Minimize your negative externalities. Respect the space(s) that you occupy. Leave the environment in a better condition than you found it.

The decentralized future requires each of us to be capable of self-regulation. Do not force us to be the leviathan.

Zero Tolerance: Any act of harm towards participants or staff—violence, doxxing, or harassment—results in immediate, permanent exclusion.
Dispute Resolution: In the event of a dispute, resolution will be determined by the sole discretion of the event staff team.
