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.
