Protocols

How we build. What we refuse.

Protocols are not just technical standards.
They are ethical boundaries — encoded in code.

At Taaffeite AG, we do not separate architecture from intent.
Every system we build reflects what we stand for — and what we stand against.

What we build into our protocols

• — Consent as a first-class citizen
• — Traceability without surveillance
• — Integrity without exposure
• — Interoperability without compromise

Our protocols are not neutral.
They are opinionated — by design.

What we refuse to implement

• — Dark patterns
• — Silent data collection
• — Irreversible decisions
• — Trust without proof

If it violates autonomy, it doesn’t belong in our stack.

Why protocols matter

Because systems are not just what they do — they are how they do it.
Because ethics without implementation is theatre.
Because every line of code is a decision.

A note to engineers

If you contribute here, you’re not just writing code.
You’re writing principles — in syntax.
