Protocol versioning and current release information.

Sovereign Namespace Protocol (SNP)

Specification Version: v1.0
Status: FINAL
Date: January 2, 2026
Authority: Cryptographic Proof, Not Governance

Finality Statement

This specification set is immutable.

No amendments, upgrades, or revisions are permitted.

Any system deviating from these specifications is not SNP.

What This Means

  1. No Future Versions: There will be no SNP v1.1, v2.0, or amendments
  2. No Governance: No DAO, voting, or parameter changes can alter these rules
  3. No Interpretation: The specification is self-executing and unambiguous
  4. Implementation-Agnostic: Code that conforms is SNP; code that deviates is not

Verification

The canonical specification set consists of:

  • CONSTITUTION.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])
  • GENESIS_SPEC.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])
  • CRYPTO_PROFILE.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])
  • NAMESPACE_OBJECT.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])
  • SOVEREIGNTY_CLASSES.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])
  • VAULT_MODEL.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])
  • STATELESS_VERIFIER.md (SHA3-256: [to be computed])

Any implementation claiming to be SNP v1.0 MUST conform to these specifications exactly.

Enforcement

These specifications are enforced by:

  • Mathematics (cryptographic proofs)
  • Genesis (one-time ceremony)
  • Code (reference implementations)

Not by:

  • Trust
  • Promises
  • Governance
  • Courts

Authority

This specification has no author with ongoing authority.

Once published, it exists independently.

The only authority is the specification itself.

This is final. This is permanent. This is SNP v1.0.
