### Section 1 |
|
|
|
These below Tenets shall guide all actors in the Cardano Blockchain ecosystem including the |
|
Constitutional Committee and proposed governance actions shall be evaluated in accordance |
|
with these Tenets. |
|
|
|
Transactions on the Cardano Blockchain should not be slowed down or censored and should be |
|
expediently served for their intended purpose. The Cardano Blockchain should scale taking into |
|
consideration throughput, sharding, settlement and dynamic pricing. |
|
|
|
The cost of transactions on the Cardano Blockchain should be predictable and not unreasonable. |
|
The Cardano Blockchain should facilitate an accessible, predictable pricing model. |
|
|
|
Anyone desiring to develop and deploy applications on the Cardano Blockchain should not |
|
unreasonably be prevented from developing and deploying such applications as intended. The |
|
Cardano community should promote features to assist in developing and deploying applications |
|
such as digital subscriber lines, formal verification support, asynchronous and scalable location |
|
services, oracles and access to partnerchains. |
|
|
|
Contributions by Cardano community on the Cardano Blockchain should be recognized, |
|
recorded and assessed fairly by the Cardano community through reward sharing with SPOs and |
|
DReps, appropriate tokenomics and multi-resource consensus approaches. |
|
|
|
The Cardano Blockchain shall not lock in an ada owner’s value without an owner’s consent. The |
|
Cardano Blockchain should promote interoperability and access to partnerchains. |
|
|
|
The Cardano Blockchain shall preserve in a safe manner any value and information an owner of |
|
ada seeks to store on the Cardano Blockchain. To assure safe protection of value and |
|
information, the Cardano Blockchain should focus on integrity, post-quantum security, |
|
decentralization and decentralized storage, access to stablecoins and robust key management |
|
approaches. |
|
|
|
The Cardano Blockchain shall not unnecessarily spend resources. The Cardano Blockchain shall |
|
promote efficient design, memory and storage. |
|
|
|
All users of the Cardano Blockchain shall be treated equally taking into account the collective |
|
desires of the Cardano Blockchain community consistent with the long-term sustainability and |
|
viability of the Cardano Blockchain. Long-term sustainability and viability shall be evaluated by |
|
a number of considerations including fairness, neutrality, sustainability, robust governance, |
|
promotion of decentralized identity, use of multi-resource consensus and democratic |
|
participation by all members of the Cardano community. |
