Mission & Principles
Explore OLPN’s mission and the three guiding principles of trust, transparency, and decentralization that shape its design and governance.
Mission
The mission of OLPN is to create an open, decentralized network for legal publishing that empowers individuals and organizations to control their identity, verify their contributions, and build trust directly with the public.
OLPN exists to solve a fundamental problem: the legal profession’s reliance on centralized, proprietary platforms that limit control, increase costs, and reduce transparency. By offering a decentralized alternative, OLPN helps legal professionals reclaim their digital presence and create a trustworthy ecosystem for sharing knowledge and advocating for justice.
Guiding Principles
- Trust: Verification must be transparent and cryptographic, ensuring that every credential and piece of content can be traced to its origin.
- Transparency: The processes and data underlying OLPN are open and auditable, allowing anyone to inspect and verify how identities and credentials are managed.
- Decentralization: No single entity should control the network. Identity hubs and verification services are distributed across many independent operators.
These principles are not just technical goals—they shape the governance and culture of the OLPN ecosystem, fostering collaboration and resilience.
