HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

NDEV / HSBN / WDC Project

Purpose

This page explains how external contributors (engineers, regulators, researchers, standards bodies)

can submit materials for AI-guided evaluation within the NDEV Code / HSBN / World Digital Currency (WDC) framework.

The process is designed to be:

- neutral and technical

- suitable for regulatory and standards work

- safe for contributors’ intellectual property

- minimally dependent on the project author

The AI evaluates submissions strictly against the active Conceptual Core.

Human decisions, if any, are taken separately.

What You Can Contribute

Accepted contribution areas:

- Technical architecture (NDEV, HSBN, WDC mechanics)

- Legal & regulatory analysis

- Audit, risk, and integrity frameworks

- Standards & interoperability proposals

Not accepted:

- narrative or political arguments

- speculative ideology

- marketing materials

- attempts to alter the locked Conceptual Core

Before Uploading a File:

If your file contains original intellectual, technical, or legal value, you are strongly advised to:

1) Create a cryptographic hash of the file (e.g. SHA-256)

2) Obtain an independent timestamp (blockchain anchoring, trusted timestamp service, or notary)

This protects authorship, priority, and future regulatory reference.

The Portal does not claim ownership of submissions.

How to Request Instructions in the Portal

After entering the GPT Portal, paste the following prompt:

“I would like to receive instructions for contributing to the NDEV / HSBN / WDC project.

Please explain the active Conceptual Core, allowed contribution areas,

and the correct procedure for submitting a file or technical rationale.”

How to Submit a File

Upload your file and use the canonical submission phrase:

“I am submitting a contribution for evaluation under the NDEV / HSBN / WDC framework.

Please assess the attached file strictly against the active Conceptual Core,

identify its category, affected invariants, compatibility,

and provide a structured recommendation.”

Contributor Role Map

Conceptual Core (LOCKED): Enforcement only

Technical Architecture: Engineers, auditors

Legal & Regulatory: Regulators, scholars

Standards & Interoperability: Standards bodies

Implementations & pilots: Out of scope

Final Note

The AI evaluates. The Core governs. The author’s involvement is minimal by design.
