The Protocol
How we build a
Firebreak.
A decentralized pipeline to capture, contextualize, and crystalize Himalayan heritage.
01
Locate
Identify the signal. An elder, a song, a dialect.
We rely on local Guardians to find the source. This is the human layer.
02
Capture
Digitize with high fidelity.
Using our open tools, record audio and video in raw formats to preserve nuance.
03
Tag
Add the cultural metadata.
Context is key. Who, where, when? We attach rich metadata relative to the region.
04
Archive
Store on the permaweb.
We push to IPFS and Filecoin. No single point of failure. It lasts as long as the internet.
Join the Resistance
The codebase is open, but the official archive ingestion begins soon. Prepare your tools.
