-The Qortal Network will bring back individual sovereignty to a worldwide economy. Qortal will: 1) rebuild the Internet in an unhackable fashion, 2) provide a viable alternative to the devastation caused by exchange hacks and thefts, 3) build a new worldwide economic system based on honesty, openness, trust, democracy, and transparency, 4) implement a true DAO and democratic system with a voting system where the individual's influence is weighted based on contribution, and 5) establish a fair system with room for everyone to earn their place in Qortal!+The Qortal Network will bring back individual sovereignty to a worldwide economy.

 As the platform develops further, other methods of ‘leveling’ will be implemented. Other verified methods of supporting the system will be given the power to level and increase their vote weight on the voting system. For example, a system in the future that rewards content creators for creating good content, that the other users will view and upvote, could be used to create a second method of leveling wherein good content is rewarded. Another concept is that of users looking to make use of Qortal’s Trade Portal will bring liquidity to the platform. Liquidity providers could be rewarded in terms of leveling. There will be many other leveling methods devised in the future. At the moment the only method to leveling is the initial one of minting.  As the platform develops further, other methods of ‘leveling’ will be implemented.

-===== The Qortal Constitution =====+===== Intended To Outlive Us All =====
  
-We the People of the Qortal Blockchain Project (‘Qortians’), in order to form a more perfect democratic system to benefit every interested person, establish a platform to decentralize, build a network for true freedom, and come together as one for the common good of the people worldwide. This is our Constitution (a guideline to what the people of the world can expect from the Qortal Project),+The beauty of blockchain technology and Qortal is that the chain cannot be stopped and the project will carry on without hardware dependency of any single person! Qortal is intended to outlive the Founders and become an unstoppable infrastructure for the world to adopt. Qortal will provide an opportunity for anyone in the world to get involved and be rewarded for their contribution to the network regardless of technical expertise, geographical location, or financial status. In theory, virtually any type of ethical online service and operating system could utilize the backbone infrastructure of Qortal. 
  
-**Section 1.** We will structure a platform that puts the power back into the people’s hands with a fair system for all and a limited governing system designed only to allow the Dev Team to push updates to the chain. Qortal will not infringe upon your right to free speech, free trade, right to information, nor right to build together. All major decisions on the platform will be made via a vote by every leveled account. Admins of sub-community Groups will be empowered to censor and manage their content. Individuals will be empowered to navigate the Internet and decide for themselves what content they wish to see or not. Qortal Dev Team will not be empowered to censor content or users by any means! +With a vision of a platform designed to outlive us all, the current Dev Team is merely that - the current Dev Team. More qualified developers will be elected to join the Dev Team over time, and the Voting System will delegate a fair direction for the future team to move towards. Ultimately, Qortal aims to achieve a true-direct democratic system that is guided by the community members, implemented by the Dev Team, and not regulated by any outside government or third-party. Finally, a system that can be utilized worldwide that is built by the people, for the people!

-**Section 2.** Qortal will have its own decentralized trade portal that features true peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a middle man that historically has proven to be flawed. Qortal will have its own decentralized hosting service for websites, blogs, data storage, social media, and encrypted communication. Qortal will have its own decentralized mesh-network and satellite technology that encrypts data and ensures privacy. Qortal will provide infrastructure for virtually any third-party ethical public or private project to be built on-chain and take part in a new economic model within the Qortal Network. +
- +
-**Section 3.** Qortal will never be empowered to censor nor force a political agenda upon its people. The argument for the Dev Team having a limited power of governance over censorship has been discussed and agreed to not be implemented. This is a result of experiencing Big Tech’s slippery slope into the bleeding of lines with censorship and political bias agendas. Qortal will never have any sort of censorship oversight from the Dev Team level! It is up to the Group admins and individuals themselves to decide what content they wish to see. +
- +
-**Section 4.** Qortal will enact a delegative system where the Voting System allows the project to be community-driven and ideally designed to outlive us all in a revolutionary decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) form. +
- +
-**Section 5.** Everyone within the Qortal Network is expected to engage and contribute in an ethical fashion. Qortal provides an opportunity for the world to come together, despite our differences. If we are all here with the genuine intent of furthering mankind and building a brighter future for all, then the project is destined to succeed and positively impact the world. Qortal will put the power back into the People’s hands worldwide. United we stand or divided we fall. If we are going to reinvent the wheel, we must have patience, respect, and understanding between us all.+
