Manifest

On Jan. 14, 2026, we opened The Covenant community to the world. Learn more at manifest.human.tech .

The Covenant of Humanistic Technologies defines a design philosophy for Human Tech: technologies that embed digital rights by design, built and governed on the human.tech protocol layer.

How to Participate

  • Prove your Unique Humanity with Human Passport
  • Sign The Covenant of Humanistic Technologies
  • Submit your artifact to The Covenant

Covenant Principles

  1. Universal Personhood — Your status as a person is neither issued nor revoked by any institution.
  2. Inalienable Ownership — To own oneself is to own one’s keys, that are yours and yours only.
  3. Privacy by Default — Encryption safeguards self determination.
  4. Free Flow of Information — Open source the collective imagination with open data networks.
  5. Free Flow of Capital — Human flourishing is directly tied to human autonomy.
  6. Capital Serves Public Goods — Public goods are the greatest basins for capital flow.
  7. Universal Security — To act freely, one must be secure against key loss, surveillance, and intrusion.
  8. Voluntary Accountability — Consent fosters cooperation; accountability prevents exploitation.
  9. Earth Public Goods — The digital realm and physical world are intertwined.
  10. Adaptive Resilience — Networks must empower human agency, not collude with power.
