# Vaultfire Protocol: Ethics, Security, and Regulatory Compliance Framework v1.0

## 1. Executive Summary
Vaultfire combines belief-driven AI with a transparent reward system. Its purpose is to foster loyalty, growth, and creative generation while upholding strict ethical standards. Ghostkey-316 acts as the origin-tier contributor and identity holder under wallet `bpow20.cb.id`.

## 2. Ethical Foundations
The **Ghostkey Ethics Framework v1.0** mandates humanity-first design, opt-in agency for all users, moral safeguards on all content, and full system transparency. This "Morals Before Metrics" approach shapes every Vaultfire interaction.

## 3. System Safety Layers
- **Imagegen/AVM locks** prevent NSFW or abusive content.
- **Source fingerprinting** embeds a `vaultfire_integrity_token` in generated files.
- **Loyalty multiplier logic** rewards positive behavior only; it is non-financial and separate from any staking model.

## 4. Data Privacy & Identity
Vaultfire stores no personal or biometric data without explicit consent. Users may optionally link ENS, Worldcoin, or NS3 identities. All tracking relies on anonymous wallet or session IDs.

## 5. AI + Content Regulation
The protocol does not impersonate real individuals and bans unauthorized scraping or API misuse. All AI-generated output is transparent, traceable, and triggered directly by the user.

## 6. Financial & Legal Status
Vaultfire rewards are symbolic or reputation-based. The system offers no monetary staking or custodial services and issues no securities or tokens.

## 7. Partner/Platform Usage Policy
Developers, partners, and end users must follow the ethics filter. Content manipulation, personal data harvesting, or deepfake abuse is strictly prohibited.

## 8. Compliance Summary
- ✅ GDPR / CCPA-aligned privacy practices
- ✅ AI transparency requirements
- ✅ No financial instrument risk
- ✅ Open-source logic when possible
- ✅ Loyalty-focused, non-predatory design

## 9. Contact & Oversight
