blvm-commons

Overview

blvm-commons is the governance enforcement system for Bitcoin Commons. It provides GitHub integration, OpenTimestamps verification, Nostr integration, and cross-layer validation for the Bitcoin Commons governance framework.

Key Features

• GitHub Integration: GitHub App for cryptographic signature verification and merge enforcement
• OpenTimestamps: Immutable audit trail for governance artifacts
• Nostr Integration: Decentralized governance communication and voting
• Cross-Layer Validation: Security controls and validation across all layers
• CI/CD Workflows: Reusable workflows for Bitcoin Commons repositories

Components

GitHub Integration

The GitHub App enforces cryptographic signatures on pull requests, verifies signature thresholds, and blocks merges until governance requirements are met.

Code: GitHub App

OpenTimestamps Integration

Provides immutable timestamping for governance artifacts, verification proofs, and audit trails.

Code: OpenTimestamps Integration

Nostr Integration

Enables decentralized governance communication, voting, and proposal distribution through Nostr relays.

Code: Nostr Integration

Security Controls

Validates code changes, detects placeholder implementations, and enforces security policies across all Bitcoin Commons repositories.

Code: Security Controls

Repository

GitHub: blvm-commons
