Protocol

THE RIGHT
TO LEAVE.

Reference

The strongest guarantee any protocol can offer is that you can take your records and go. It is also the least popular one to build, because it removes the lock-in that most platform businesses depend on — which is precisely why stating the position matters.

Lock-in is the default business model

Most platforms make leaving expensive by holding the data that describes your business — your customers, your history, your reputation. That is not an accident of engineering; it is the moat.

What portability actually requires

Being able to leave means more than an export button. It means the records are meaningful outside the system that produced them and that your counterparties can verify them without asking this protocol for permission.

Forking is the extreme case of the same right

If the protocol is governed badly, the community that disagrees should be able to continue without it. A protocol that cannot be forked is a company, and calling it a protocol does not change what happens when the incentives diverge.

Where this stands honestly

The event log is append-only and hash-linked, which is the foundation portability needs. A complete, verifiable export and the governance around a fork are positions taken here rather than mechanisms shipped, and this page does not claim otherwise.
