Why Source-available at the core?
A source-available core creates structural advantages — not just community engagement. By keeping Midaz source-available, we enable:
- Transparency: Every line of the core ledger is visible and auditable. No hidden logic. No opaque behavior.
- Independence: Institutions control their stack. No forced upgrades. No vendor lock-in on the ledger that holds your money.
- Extensibility: Teams can adapt the ledger to their regulatory, operational, and product requirements.
- Trust by design: Visibility reduces systemic risk. You understand how your core infrastructure behaves — because you can inspect it.
What this means for your business
For decision makers evaluating Lerian, an open-by-design platform translates into concrete business benefits:
- No vendor dependency on the core ledger: With Midaz source-available, if Lerian disappears tomorrow, you still have the code. Your core operations continue.
- Third-party auditability: Your security team, auditors, or regulators can inspect the Midaz code directly — no NDAs or trust-me-it-works conversations.
- Predictable costs: No surprise license escalations on the core. You know what you run and what you pay for.
- Talent flexibility: Your engineers can debug, extend, and maintain Midaz without waiting for vendor support tickets.
