# Trust Package

The Trust Package is the shortest serious explanation of why PrivateDAO can be trusted as a Frontier-stage product.

## Trust components

### 1. Live protocol surface

- deployed Devnet program
- live frontend
- wallet-connected flow

### 2. Runtime evidence

- Devnet rehearsal
- generated artifacts
- ZK anchors
- operational evidence

### 3. Security discipline

- Strict V2 additive hardening
- Governance Hardening V3
- Settlement Hardening V3
- replay-aware evidence companions
- proposal and payout binding

### 4. Honest launch boundary

PrivateDAO does not claim:

- completed external audit
- completed mainnet production cutover
- completed production multisig ceremony

Trust is improved, not faked, by being explicit about what is done and what remains.

## What V3 adds to trust

The repository now carries a dedicated Devnet artifact for the additive `V3` path:

- `Governance Hardening V3` proves token-supply quorum snapshots and a dedicated reveal rebate vault
- `Settlement Hardening V3` proves payout caps, proposal-scoped settlement policy snapshots, evidence aging, and verified settlement evidence consumption

This makes the trust package stronger than a baseline lifecycle proof alone, while still staying honest that the proof is Devnet test-wallet evidence rather than mainnet custody proof.
