👥Team & Contributors
🔹 Team & Contributors
piARM is a pseudonymous, community-aligned project built on principles of decentralisation, privacy, and infrastructure sovereignty. While the contributors behind piARM choose to remain pseudonymous, the project is anchored in real-world expertise and a long-term commitment to open-access financial tooling.
👤 Founding Contributor
The piARM project was initiated by a security-first builder with a career background as a systems, network, and security engineer. With professional experience spanning multiple countries, the founder has supported NGOs, governmental agencies, and large-scale technical operations—particularly in mission-critical and privacy-sensitive environments.
Although not a public figure in the mainstream blockchain space, this contributor's expertise lies in:
Infrastructure Resilience
Operational Privacy
Cross-border Deployment Support
Secure Networking Practices
This foundation informs piARM’s emphasis on decentralised operations, trust minimisation, and user safety over marketing or short-term hype.
🧩 Selective Contribution Model
piARM welcomes external contributors for well-scoped, non-sensitive modules including:
Token indexing and metadata integrations
Language localisation
UX/UI feedback and accessibility testing
More critical components—such as cryptographic logic, wallet derivation methods, cold sync protocols, and the P2P relay discovery mesh—remain under tightly controlled private development to prevent premature exploitation or attack vectors.
All contributions are reviewed manually, and community-sourced improvements are selectively integrated via vetted pipelines.
🔐 Private Source Policy
In its current phase, piARM operates under a private source development model. This allows the team to:
Reduce attack surface during early adoption
Iterate rapidly without external dependencies
Maintain the integrity of infrastructure-related innovations (e.g., relay modules, zero-knowledge privacy features)
However, as financial and operational sustainability improves, a staged open-source release strategy may be adopted. This would prioritise transparency without compromising core user protections or novel methodologies.
🛡️ Legal & Ethical Position
All contributors operate in a non-custodial, non-financial, and personal capacity.
piARM does not offer investment advice, guarantees, or custodial services.
Use of the platform and its components is fully at user discretion and risk.
The project disclaims any liability for outcomes resulting from integrations, trades, or misuse.
This position ensures that piARM remains aligned with the cypherpunk ethos while respecting global regulatory boundaries.
🗳️ Governance Outlook
At present, project decisions are handled by the founder and a small circle of early technical collaborators. However, a progressive governance roadmap is being considered, which may include:
Community feedback loops
Treasury allocation discussions
Partner protocol on-boarding
Relay operator proposals
The ultimate goal is a resilient governance structure that supports sustainability, avoids capture, and aligns with the long-term vision of piARM as a decentralised public good.
