Welcome to the Stellar-Save community — a decentralized rotational savings platform built on Stellar Soroban. These guidelines exist to keep our community welcoming, productive, and safe for everyone.
- Inclusion — Everyone is welcome regardless of background, experience level, or location.
- Transparency — We build in the open. Decisions, trade-offs, and failures are shared honestly.
- Financial empowerment — We exist to serve unbanked and underbanked communities. Keep that mission central.
- Collaboration — The best ideas come from working together. Credit others generously.
- Accountability — Own your mistakes. Fix them. Move forward.
- Be respectful and constructive in all interactions — issues, PRs, discussions, Telegram, and social media.
- Give helpful, specific feedback. "This is wrong" is not feedback; "this breaks when X because Y" is.
- Assume good intent. Ask for clarification before assuming malice.
- Keep discussions on-topic. Off-topic threads will be redirected or closed.
- Respect maintainer decisions even when you disagree. Disagreement is fine; disrespect is not.
- Credit contributors when building on their work.
The following will not be tolerated in any community space:
- Harassment, intimidation, or personal attacks of any kind
- Discriminatory language or jokes related to race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or nationality
- Sharing private information (doxxing) without explicit consent
- Spam, self-promotion unrelated to the project, or repeated off-topic posts
- Deliberate disruption of discussions or contribution workflows
- Threats of any kind
If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior:
- Telegram: Message @Xoulomon directly and privately.
- GitHub: Open a private security advisory or email the maintainer via the GitHub profile.
- What to include: A description of the incident, links or screenshots if available, and the date/time.
All reports are treated confidentially. Reporters will not face retaliation.
Maintainers are responsible for enforcing these guidelines. Actions taken depend on severity:
| Severity | Example | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | Off-topic post, mild rudeness | Warning + redirect |
| Moderate | Repeated rudeness, spam | Temporary mute or removal from discussion |
| Severe | Harassment, doxxing, threats | Permanent ban from all community spaces |
Moderation decisions are final. If you believe a decision was made in error, you may appeal once by contacting a different maintainer.
These guidelines apply in all Stellar-Save spaces:
- GitHub repository (issues, PRs, discussions, code reviews)
- Telegram group and direct messages with maintainers

These guidelines may be updated as the community grows. Significant changes will be announced in GitHub Discussions. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of the current version.
