🌍 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.
