A wiki covering the OpenVTC ecosystem — an open-source stack for Verifiable Trust Communities: groups of people and organizations who establish, verify, and audit trust relationships without relying on a central authority.
Live site: https://OpenVTC.github.io/wiki
OpenVTC exists to address the Know Your Developer problem: how do you know that a contributor to an open-source project is who they claim to be — that their commit history is genuine, that they're not a sock puppet, and, increasingly, that they're even human?
Rather than delegating identity to centralized gatekeepers (Google, employers, governments), the OpenVTC ecosystem takes a first-person approach. Trust is built from the ground up through real relationships between real people, expressed as cryptographically verifiable credentials. The question becomes not just "who are you?" but "can I verify you're a real person through a chain of real human relationships?"
The wiki is written for both internal team members and external newcomers. It aims to be approachable to readers with light technical skills while remaining substantive for deeply technical ones. The tone is narrative and conceptual — leading with motivations and the big picture before diving into specifics.
This is an LLM-maintained wiki. Source material — upstream repositories, specifications, design documents — is ingested by an LLM agent, which extracts key concepts, updates entity pages, revises cross-references, and keeps a "Recent Development" log on every entity page.
The wiki is a persistent, compounding artifact: knowledge is compiled once and then kept current, rather than re-derived on every query.
The site is published with Quartz and hosted on
GitHub Pages. Wiki pages are plain Markdown with [[wiki-link]] style
cross-references and YAML frontmatter, rendered by Quartz into a static site
with backlinks, graph view, and full-text search.
