TBD builds infrastructure for the next wave of innovation in financial services — which we believe will be decentralized, permissionless, and non-custodial. This means opening the global economy to everyone. We extend the same principles of inclusion to our developer ecosystem. We are excited to build with you. So we will ensure our community is truly open, transparent and inclusive. Because of the global nature of our project, diversity and inclusivity is paramount to our success. We not only welcome diverse perspectives, we need them!
The code of conduct below reflects the expectations for ourselves and for our community.
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, physical appearance, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful and welcoming of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
The TBD Open Source Governance Committee (GC) is responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
The GC has the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event, or any space where the project is listed as part of your profile.
