Financial and technical knowledge should be available in the language people actually use every day. That's why Haitian Creole is the primary language for our educational material not a translation added on afterward.
Governance, financial decisions, and internal processes should be documented publicly. This repository is itself an expression of that value.
Decisions should serve the community, not the personal interests of any one individual. We build with the community, not just for it.
Blockchain, cUSD, and Valora are a means to an end financial inclusion not the end itself. We never promote the technology for its own sake.
Economic growth and environmental health aren't competing goals. We refuse to treat them that way.
We never present CeloHT as an investment, a wealth-building opportunity, or anything that guarantees a return. We're direct about the risks that come with any crypto tool, and we don't give personal financial advice.
The crypto ecosystem, Web3 technology, and community needs all change. We stay flexible and adjust our approach based on what actually works, not on what sounded good on paper.
