ubi.world / ledger
==================

This directory is the public, append-only, read-only mirror of signed
transactions in the Time-based UBI federation.

Layout
------

    /ledger/
        transactions/   one JSON file per signed transaction
        nodes/          public key + metadata for each participating node
        index.html      human-readable browse view
        README.txt      this file

What you'll find inside
-----------------------

transactions/
    Each file is a JSON document containing one signed transaction. Files
    are named by transaction id (a hash) or by date + sequence — the
    canonical naming rule is in the spec at https://ubi.vision/

    Every transaction includes:
        - sender node id and recipient node id
        - amount (in time units)
        - timestamp
        - a digital signature from the sender's private key

    The signature can be verified against the sender's public key, which
    lives in the /nodes/ directory below.

nodes/
    One file per participating node. Each file contains the node's public
    key, its declared handle, the date it joined the federation, and any
    self-published metadata. Public keys are used to verify the signatures
    on transactions in /transactions/.

Why plain files?
----------------

The ledger is intentionally low-tech: plain JSON, plain HTML, plain web
server. No database, no API client, no JavaScript runtime required to
read it. If the site goes down, anyone holding a copy of this directory
can host a mirror at another domain.

Status
------

The directory structure is in place but unpopulated. Real transactions
will arrive once the federation rollout reaches Stage 2b.
