Protecting Sensitive Information in Source Code

The importance of safeguarding sensitive information cannot be overstated. Our source code, a meticulously crafted compilation of instructions and algorithms, houses not only the essence of our application but also critical data such as encryption keys and other proprietary information.

As custodians of this, we recognize the value of transparency and collaboration that open source projects bring. However, certain elements within our code are akin to the keys to a secure vault, unlocking the very essence of our application's functionality and security measures.

For this reason, our source code cannot be released as an open-source project. The inclusion of proprietary data, encryption keys, and other confidential information necessitates a controlled environment to ensure the integrity and security of our software.

Rest assured, while the code itself may not be open to public scrutiny, we remain committed to delivering a product that aligns with the principles of reliability, efficiency, and security. Our dedication to excellence extends beyond the visibility of our source code, encompassing the robustness of our software and the satisfaction of our users.

We appreciate your understanding of the complexities involved in balancing transparency with the safeguarding of sensitive information. Together, let us continue on a path that prioritizes innovation, security, and the responsible handling of the digital assets entrusted to us.

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

WalkersCNFT is evolving through active community involvement, where our members help shape the future of the project. We see Walkers expanding to other blockchains, with the main goal of driving mass adoption on Cardano.

We’re focused on providing real value for users while promoting Cardano’s widespread use. That’s why we’ve designed Walkers to be accessible, not just to those familiar with web3, but also to newcomers who may not have any prior experience with crypto. Our app’s user-friendly design helps make this transition smooth and easy for everyone.
