Reference: the full texts
These are the full English texts of the documents that were first shown on the BSA tab of lananostr.site: the plain-words text of each document and, where there is one, its technical specification. Nothing is left out; only personal names of the project owner and of the live pilot's Heart members were replaced by roles, and the Slovene halves stay on lananostr.site. Where a text and the definitions 0.3.0 differ, the definitions win.
All of this is a draft. Wording such as "decided", "proposal" and "open" is kept from the sources: decided is a decision of the project owner on a date, proposal waits for a yes, open is a question. Round 5 of 23 Oct 2026.
- Development principles
Six principles: everything is public, everything is on the relays in at least three copies, no central authorities, every community a balanced cell, independent cells that connect, fast and robust. - The ledger on the relays · technical specification
The circle's ledger is a public, numbered chain of blocks on its own relays. A payment counts at a majority of witnesses and three relays. Every morning a daily seal with a public snapshot of every account; gravity as a whole-number rule; restore from the relays. - Running a circle: witnesses and the Circle Heart · technical specification
Who is who in a circle: members, the Circle Heart, witnesses. Votes (all for, or it falls), projects, joining, exclusion, the reference for moving to another circle, closing accounts, OWN processes, circle settings. - The world relay network · technical specification
Every circle has its own box relay and at least four relays with three operators; the root directory, archives, index relays and gateways; write policy; capacity from one circle to ten billion people. - Currencies and exchange rates · technical specification
Every circle has one currency. For a payment to another circle the seller's circle quotes the rate from a source it chooses and the buyer accepts by signing both amounts. - Community safeguards and the step outward · technical specification
Between members cheating gains nothing, because everything is public. How fraud is recognised; the vote that stops a project; raising the community's step outward is a project like any other. - BSA ID and the Lana profile · technical specification
The account number of a balanced wallet is the Nostr public key (HEX), from the same private key as the LANA WIF. The ledger knows only the key; the name lives in the profile and the member home. - A new circle: circle in a box · technical specification
Every circle has its own app and its own relay. How a new circle is set up and founded: the found act, the circle id, the first block, the Circle Heart, the start, the box relay, witnesses.
