EGALCHAIN · GET INVOLVED

There is a way in, whoever you are.

EgalChain runs on a test network today, bootstrapped at zero — not for sale, no token to buy, no round to join, no equity to take. The code opens at the external audit, not before; until then, early access to build on it is earned, not taken. This is a way in, not a storefront: tell me who you are and what you want to do, and I choose by alignment. Here is how to reach in, depending on who you are.

Builders

If you want to build on it

The code opens at the external audit, not before — so no one forks it today, and that is on purpose. Until then, early access is something I grant, not something you take. If you want to build on EgalChain, tell me what you are making and why it converges with this: who it serves, what it would draw from the protocol, what you would give back. I read every one, and I choose by alignment, not by who asks first. The door is open to propose; the access is earned.

Read the design first on the overview and how it works, then write to me below.
Projects that converge

If your work meets this

Wallets, explorers, light clients, research, a frontend you would do differently — if your work touches what EgalChain is trying to do, I want to hear it. This is the door for a project that runs alongside, not on top of the closed code: tell me where we converge and where you would push back. Good criticism of the interfaces is as welcome as code, and the strongest thing you can do is find what is wrong before it carries anyone's savings. Nothing here is settled; the design is meant to be argued with.

Query the test network at the explorer, then tell me below where we converge.
Institutions

If you run a rail, or can make it physical

EgalChain works on the web today, but reaching a farmer with no bank means rails you can touch: cash in and out, a card, a counter in a village. A payment network, a licensed operator, a processor could make the inclusion physical — as a demonstrator that proves it works at scale, never as a financier. And settlement itself is built but asleep: it runs only through a regulator's keys, never in open access, until those keys are placed at a ceremony to come. If you run a rail, hold a licence, or write the rules, what would help is a lawful path to settlement and a clear word on where this stands. I am not looking for someone to fund it — I am looking for the door that lets a cooperative bank reach the people who have no bank.

Anyone

If you have a passport and a phone

You do not need anything else. Mine on an ordinary computer, prove you are one human, weigh in on a world poll, timestamp a document, back a neighbour's loan, support a project. Use it, and tell me where it breaks. The protocol holds because people verify it — and that includes you.

Tell me who you are and what you want to do — what you'd build, where your work converges, where it could become physical, or where it breaks.

On the record

This work is dated and on the record. The code stays closed until the audit, then it opens for anyone to read, run, or fork — that is the point. A fork could always leave with another version of the rules; what it cannot do is quietly change a number and call it the same thing. What EgalChain is, and when it was, stands in the open.
