Plain routes for readers, validators, reviewers, builders, and product users without turning the public site into an operations manual.

Choose A Path

Pick the path that matches the question. The owning surface still carries the current proof.

JourneysAllowed actions, refusal reasons, fees, finality, receipts, operators, governance, stale data, and boundaries.Best before acting.

Common Product Actions

Use these when you already know what you are trying to do. Raw feeds and deeper route lists stay on the owning subdomain and site map.

Docs can show

Public status, safe setup paths, evidence labels, and reader-specific routes.

Docs withhold

Private controls, operator procedure, sensitive configuration, and private evaluation mechanics.

Docs should avoid

Unsupported whitepaper expectations, reward claims, allocation claims, and node-earning framing.
