Earth LinC is built so that what you supported, and what happened because of it, is visible — permanently. ## What you can always see * **The verified-fact layer of every NaviStar** — what was done, where, and when, as confirmed by an independent, accountable source. It is on a public chain: anyone can read it, forever, without asking anyone's permission. * **The mission a station carries** — chosen at the mint, recorded with the station and with every star Cast from it. * **One payment, one destination** — a mint carrying a YuCROWN mission is a Drop, the full amount to the 501(c)(3); everything commercial goes elsewhere, whole. Your acknowledgment states which kind of payment you made, so what went to the earth is never blurred with what paid for tooling. ## What is reported back * **Acknowledgments** — every Drop is acknowledged by YuCROWN with the amount, date, and the deductibility disclosure the law requires (Donation Terms). * **Mission reporting** — YuCROWN publishes what its missions verified and accomplished: actions confirmed, where, and in what period. **\[Cadence and location to be stated when the first report publishes — e.g., an annual impact summary on yucrown.earth.]** * **Financial accountability** — YuCROWN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; its annual filings are public as U.S. law provides, and a copy of its latest financial report is available on request: ****. ## What we will not claim Honesty about impact is part of the design: * We do not claim offsets, neutralization, or equivalence ("this Cast = X tons of CO₂"). A NaviStar records that a real action occurred — verified, located, dated. That is the claim, whole and true. * We do not report numbers that were not independently confirmed. If it isn't verified, it isn't recorded — and it isn't in the impact report either. *** *Part of Trust & Verification: How verification works · The anchor · Transparency & impact.* --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://earthlinc.gitbook.io/protocol/trust-and-verification/transparency-and-impact.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
