🌍 Vision & Philosophy

Why FlossPay?

Payments are the backbone of digital society—but most infra is proprietary, unauditable, or locked down. FlossPay was born to break that.


Our Principles

  • Open by Default: All code, contracts, and designs are FLOSS.
  • Auditability: Every transaction is traceable. Immutable, forensic audit trails.
  • Meritocratic Governance: Inspired by Linux—no hidden cabals, no unreviewed merges.
  • Compliance as Code: PCI, SOC2, and ISO mapped into implementation.
  • Indie First: Power to small businesses, MSMEs, and solo devs.

Why “Kernel-Inspired”?

  • Modular architecture, strict contracts, “everything is auditable.”
  • No black-box business logic.
  • Design choices and governance mapped after Linux kernel and Oracle Financials.

Our Mission

  • Enable anyone, anywhere, to run auditable, bank-grade payment rails.
  • Lower barriers for innovation in financial services.
  • Never compromise on transparency or reliability.
