Leibodex Operational Principles v1
Versioned: v1 Dated: 2026-03-01
This version describes Leibodex’s operational principles as of the date shown. It is preserved for historical reference. Current operational practices may evolve over time and may be reflected in later versions or current website policy pages.
1. Append-only design
Leibodex is designed to preserve accepted hash records in an append-only manner.
As a current operational practice, Leibodex does not intentionally edit accepted ledger entries in place.
2. Public verification
Leibodex intends to maintain public verification and artifact-publication mechanisms that support independent checking.
Leibodex may change, retire, replace, authenticate, rate-limit, or charge for access to particular endpoints, artifacts, or formats.
3. Identity-agnostic operation
Leibodex records hashes and related technical artifacts.
Leibodex does not verify identity, authorship, ownership, authenticity, legal validity, signer authority, admissibility, or chain of custody.
4. Hash transparency
The hash algorithm used for stamping is publicly documented and versioned.
Current algorithm: SHA-256.
Future algorithm transitions may be versioned and documented without retroactive changes to historical records.
5. Specification transparency
Bundle formats, manifest schemas, and related protocols are publicly documented and versioned.
Breaking changes require versioned updates.
6. Record handling carveouts
Leibodex may reject submissions, restrict access, remove or redact metadata, disable public pages, stop distributing convenience artifacts, or preserve records in response to legal process, intellectual-property claims, privacy concerns, safety risks, abuse, fraud, sanctions, malware, security incidents, or operational-integrity needs.
7. Independent checking
Verification of a recorded hash is designed to support checking with public methods and published artifacts.
8. Open replicability
Ledger format and specifications are designed to allow independent replication and mirroring.
Published checkpoints, Merkle proofs, mirror exports, and external anchors are intended to improve independent survivability and checking.
9. Current public access policy
Leibodex currently offers public stamping and verification for ordinary use without a required paid subscription.
This is a present operating policy, not a perpetual commitment.
10. Verification URL continuity
Verification URLs are intended to remain reachable or redirectable where technically feasible, but current infrastructure and access paths may change over time.
