CeloHT is a Haitian-led, open-source, community-governed initiative focused on financial inclusion, blockchain education, and sustainable development.
This repository is the CeloHT research and evidence workspace. It contains methodology, research templates, policy context, and supporting educational materials. It is not the source of truth for dApp code, smart contracts, administration, or a production API.
CeloHT operates through three permanent pillars:
- Education — Web3, financial literacy, and digital security education, primarily in Haitian Creole.
- Agent Network — local agents helping communities access digital financial tools with trust and support.
- Reforestation — environmental restoration connected to community development and transparent reporting.
The project uses the Celo network as infrastructure for payments and digital access, while remaining independent from the Celo Foundation or Valora.
CeloHT has no native token, no ICO, no presale, and no investment promise. See NO_TOKEN_POLICY.md.
This repository is a research, policy, and documentation layer. It is not the source of truth for a live dApp, backend, indexer, admin console, database, treasury custody, or production smart-contract deployment.
Important claims in this repo are classified as follows:
- VERIFIED: the repository contains the documented evidence in this checkout (for example, governance policy, no-token policy, validation script, research methodology, and policy documents).
- IMPLEMENTED: repository artifacts that exist here now, such as markdown documentation, validation tooling, and published policy docs.
- PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED: governance and architecture documents that describe target systems but are not backed by live code or deployment artifacts in this repo.
- PLANNED: dApp, backend, indexer, admin, database, and contract deployment work described as future target state.
- UNVERIFIED: anything involving live production deployment, live treasury custody, live contract addresses, or behavior outside this repository's direct evidence boundary.
