Indigo Protocol is a synthetics platform deployed on the Cardano blockchain. It connects the real-world to the blockchain, giving everybody equal access to financial opportunities.
For more information about Indigo, visit the Indigo Protocol website.
This repository stores two documents:
- Indigo DAO Constitution -- describes the rules set forth and adopted by the Indigo DAO Members
- Indigo DAO Voting Procedures -- describes the processes and procedures that apply to any vote for the Indigo DAO
To generate the PDF files yourself, you can use pdflatex:
pdflatex --shell-escape constitution.tex
These documents are intended to be recorded on-chain after the launch of Indigo Protocol. More information about how to verify documents on-chain will be provided after Indigo Protocol mainnet launch.
Each time a PDF is generated by pdflatex the metadata may change.
Metadata can include information such as bookmarks (making the table of
contents clickable, for example). This can cause the checksum of the
document to differ between compiles even if content hasn't changed.
To remove metadata, mat2 can be used. After removing metadata you can
verify the checksum of the document against a reference.
$ mat2 constitution.pdf && sha256sum constitution.cleaned.pdf
5ee5f032c90893a35ffe75c2d35e0a0d71fad9292360ae3fe1052efef896689a constitution.cleaned.pdf
$ mat2 voting-procedures.pdf && sha256sum voting-procedures.cleaned.pdf

If checksums of two files match after removing the metadata, then the two files are verified to be equivalent, therefore no content has changed. If the checksums differ, then the content has been altered.
