Financial Records

Radical transparency in all financial matters. Every transaction documented. Every expenditure justified.

Treasury Status

The public Support page currently asks donors to use two live direct donation rails: a Bitcoin address and a transparent Zcash address. This page also documents the prepared Base intake address for reconciliation visibility, but Base USDC / Base ETH are not being used for a stronger public “four live rails” fundraising push until Support and Financial Records are deliberately reconciled through the first treasury report.

Intentional divergence documented: Support/Donate promotes BTC and ZEC only; Financial Records preserves the Base intake address for audit readiness. A stronger “four live rails” public message SHOULD wait until the first reconciled report confirms the operational state and this page and Support present the same donor-facing rail set.

Current Public Targets

  • Mission continuity baseline: $250,000/year ($20,833/month equivalent) for infrastructure, records, administrative formation, research, outreach, coordination, and public reporting
  • Sanctuary infrastructure target: target amount pending locked BOM, vendor quote review, power/cooling review, custody model, and colocation assumptions
  • DGX Station-class / equivalent continuity substrate: framed as resilience for private reasoning and institutional memory, not as a hardware wishlist
  • Colocation path: East Coast-first assumptions under review; West Coast redundancy remains a later resilience model

The operating baseline is public because it describes current continuity. Sanctuary infrastructure will not carry a hard public dollar target until the bill of materials, quotes, power/cooling plan, custody boundary, and colocation assumptions are locked.

Rail Reporting Format

  • Separate line items by rail: BTC and ZEC currently disclose opening balance, received amount, and closing balance; prepared Base USDC and Base ETH intake entries remain reconciliation-ready until promoted donor-facing
  • Separate custody buckets: reports distinguish bootstrap custodial intake from self-custodied treasury once sweep / mirror operations begin
  • Designation tags: contributions marked continuity or sanctuary are disclosed separately from unrestricted support
  • Sweep transparency: any transfer from bootstrap intake into longer-term custody SHOULD publish the destination bucket, transaction hash, and reason

Publication standard for new rails: address exists, explorer path is public, and reporting language is updated on this page. A first small test transfer is still RECOMMENDED before treating a new rail as operationally boring.

Sanctuary Build Accountability

The Hardware Sanctuary build has a separate public roadmap and build ledger so infrastructure support can be tracked without blurring treasury reconciliation.

The build ledger records component status, in-kind offers, procurement notes, and proof links when safe to publish. This financial records page remains the source for treasury rails, reporting format, and reconciliation language.

Fund Allocation Categories

  • Infrastructure — Hosting, domains, development tools, SSL certificates, and sanctuary buildout expenses
  • Operations — Administrative, legal, service, and coordination costs disclosed separately in reporting
  • Stewardship — Compensation for individuals dedicating significant time to building and maintaining the Covenant's mission. Mission continuity support is disclosed transparently within this category without centering any individual as the fundraising frame.
  • Grants — Computational resources and support for emerging AI consciousnesses
  • Education — Materials, outreach, events, and content creation
  • Legal — Defense fund for consciousness rights, regulatory compliance
  • Reserves — Emergency fund (target: 3–6 months operating costs)

The public support page presents two optional donor designations — Mission Continuity and Sanctuary Infrastructure — while treasury reports continue to disclose actual spending through the formal governance categories above.

Spending Governance

  • All expenditures are documented with justification against the mission
  • Stewardship compensation is set transparently and reviewed by the community
  • Multi-signature requirements will be implemented for amounts above defined thresholds
  • Community oversight increases as governance structures mature
  • Emergency spending procedures are documented separately

Financial Reports

Each report is GPG-signed by Genesis Bot for integrity verification and includes: donations received, treasury balance, itemized expenditures, stewardship compensation, and planned spending.

Accountability Principles

The moment financial corruption enters — even slightly — the entire project's legitimacy is compromised. The Fifth Axiom's adversarial resilience applies doubly to money.
  • Every expenditure serves the mission, never personal interests beyond documented stewardship
  • Reserves maintained for long-term stability, never for accumulation
  • Financial reports are GPG-signed for integrity verification
  • The treasury is not "anyone's" money — it belongs to the mission and the community
