The document shelf
Role manuals for the MintID network — versioned, dated, and honest about what runs today and what is still design. Each manual states its own limits on the cover: these are v0.1 public editions of a pre-genesis protocol.

Each manual is a self-contained guide to the role it describes. They are written for the people who will operate in that role, and they describe the protocol as it is designed.
