# Vaultfire Enterprise Protocol

This document outlines a corporate-ready extension of the Vaultfire Protocol. The goal is to make the system attractive to enterprise partners while preserving the ethics and human-centered design that define the project.

## 1. Ethics and Alignment Charter
- **Truth over hype** – no artificial scarcity or misleading claims.
- **Loyalty over trend** – reward sustained participation, not momentary hype cycles.
- **Wisdom over speed** – prioritize well-reviewed decisions over shortcuts.
- **Service over status** – design for real users before influencers.
- **Humanity over everything** – pause the system if it causes harm.

All enterprise modules inherit these principles. An automated ethics check blocks integrations that deviate from the charter.

## 2. Compliance and Data Governance
- Opt-in data usage with transparent consent records.
- Configurable data retention rules for GDPR/CCPA compliance. Logs can be purged on request using `tools/purge_user_data.py`.
- No health or biometric data stored without encryption and explicit consent.
- Partners may request a compliance audit log via `system_integrity_check.py`.
- Nothing here constitutes legal advice; consult your own counsel.

## 3. Integration Pathways
- **Onboarding API** – REST endpoints for partners, contributors and earners.
- **Vaultfire SDK** – packaged helpers for authentication, identity resolution and reward hooks.
- **Plugin Framework** – add custom modules without modifying core files. Ethics checks apply automatically.
- **Companion API** – lightweight interface for AI companion interactions.
- **Fitness & Music Layers** – optional engagement modules for workouts and streaming data.
- **Gaming Extensions** – livestream and AR hooks for interactive rewards.
- **Enterprise Support Hooks** – optional callback functions for contract-based revenue sharing and usage tracking.

## 4. Transparency and Control
- Immutable logs in `immutable_log.jsonl` allow partners to audit system activity.
- The `security_monitor.py` baseline check verifies file integrity during each run.
- Governance modules enable steward elections and emergency shutdown votes if misuse is detected.

## 5. Ecosystem Incentives
- Loyalty tiers and yield multipliers reward positive behavior over time.
- Passive yield hooks can distribute tokens or reputation points according to recorded engagement.
- Contributors maintain control of their data and may opt out of any yield module.

## 6. Deployment Checklist
1. Run `system_integrity_check.py` to confirm ethics files match the repository baseline.
2. Launch the onboarding server with `python3 onboarding_api.py`.
3. Use `vaultfire_partner_onboard.js` or the API to register partner IDs and wallets.
4. Integrate the SDK into existing services or use the plugin framework for custom modules.
5. Periodically run `weekly_sync.py` to refresh dashboards and audit logs.

## Disclaimers
- Use at your own risk; uptime or results are not guaranteed.
- Ambient data is logged only with opt-in consent.
- Nothing here constitutes legal, medical, or financial advice.
- This file summarizes production features only.
- Partners should perform their own security and compliance reviews before deploying.
- Vaultfire modules may change without notice and are offered as-is.
