Transparency – Juris

We want to earn your trust.

Our first step is committing to transparency.

Saul, Adam, Konstantin, John, and Ethan are the core team building Juris. You can read more about us here. We appreciate the gravity of the role that Juris occupies as a platform for legal agreements and dispute resolution. Such a system will only work if users trust it to work. And we believe the first key to gaining trust is committing to transparency. We want you to feel like you know as much as possible about Juris. We can’t tell you everything but we’ll try our best.

To achieve this transparency, we have committed to these Transparency Procedures:

1. We articulated our social mission from day one.

We incorporated as a public benefit corporation, which means that while we are a for-profit company, we committed on day one to our social mission, and are legally required to consider it as we make decisions.

2. We will release an annual report on our progress toward our social mission.

We will release an annual Public Benefits Report, in which we will give an assessment of the progress we’ve made toward achieving our stated public benefits. This reporting is another legal requirement of being a public benefit corporation. We look forward to publishing our first report in June 2019.

3. We have published our corporate structure documents.

We have published our current Articles of Incorporation, which you can access here. We have also published our current Bylaws, which you can access here. We want you to understand how our corporate entity is structured.

4. We have published information about our team and advisors.

We have published and will maintain in-depth information about our core team of builders and advisors so you can learn who we are and why we can be trusted.

5. We will provide regular development updates.

Juris will publish monthly updates on our project’s development. These updates will include statistics on the use of Juris, so you can gauge how well the project is going.

6. We will hold regular community meetings.

Juris will hold monthly community meetings, led by our team, in which we will give updates on Juris and you can ask us questions. These will be live streamed and posted to our YouTube channel so you can watch them later.

7. We will push our open source code to GitHub.

Juris will push its open source code to GitHub when ready.

8. We will publish information on the distribution of the JRS token.

Juris will publish its JRS token distribution updates so you know who holds JRS tokens.

9. We will strive for clarity.

Juris will strive for clarity and transparency in all its publications so that anyone, regardless of their technical or legal experience, can understand them fully and quickly.
