Liana Banyan Corporation — Structural Bylaws

These bylaws are FOUNDATIONAL. They cannot be changed without supermajority (75%) member vote, 90-day public comment period, and are subject to Founder veto during the founding period.

Amendment Requirements (All Bylaws)

BYLAW I: Cost+20% Model

The economic foundation of Liana Banyan.

The Principle

All products and services offered through Liana Banyan platforms SHALL be priced at:

Cost + 20%

Where “cost” includes:

• Raw materials
• Labor (at fair wages)
• Overhead allocation
• Transportation/logistics

Distribution of the 20%

What This Means

• No venture capital profit extraction
• No investor-driven price inflation
• Transparent pricing for all goods
• Members make money WITH, not FOR Liana Banyan

BYLAW II: Zero Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

We keep ZERO personally identifiable information other than Credit Card data, for the explicit purpose of age verification.

What We Collect (Exhaustive)

That is ALL. Nothing else.

What We DO NOT Collect

Architectural Enforcement

The database schema does not contain fields for demographic data. This is not a policy — it is structurally impossible to collect what cannot be stored.

BYLAW III: Unlimited Accounts Policy

Members can have unlimited accounts. We do not track or limit how many accounts a single person has.

Requirements Per Account

• Valid credit card payment (for age verification)
• That’s it.

What We Do NOT Do

Rationale

Consistent with Zero PII — we cannot track what we do not store. Each account is independent. A person may have business accounts, personal accounts, project accounts, etc.

BYLAW IV: Local S.O.P. Privacy Barrier

Liana Banyan Corporation keeps NO record of Local Standard Operating Procedures.

• Maintain local delivery instructions
• Accommodate special circumstances

What Corporate CANNOT Do

• Access Local S.O.P. contents
• Request Local S.O.P. details
• Override node-level arrangements
• Store S.O.P. information in corporate systems

Harper Review

Harpers review Local S.O.P.s for quality assurance only — they do not report contents to corporate.

BYLAW V: Dual Redundancy Ledger Architecture

All critical records are maintained in BOTH the blockchain AND the database, with cross-validation.

Cross-Validation Requirement

Project database branches MUST match the shared blockchain IP Ledger. Discrepancies are automatically flagged for review.

Network Configuration

BYLAW VI: Data Access Level Framework

Even anonymous data access triggers notification.

Four Access Levels

Level 1: PUBLIC (No Permission)

Level 2: ANONYMOUS AGGREGATE (Notification Required)

Even anonymous aggregates trigger a notification that data is being accessed.

Level 3: PROJECT (Crown Approval Required)

Level 4: MEMBER (Explicit Opt-In Required)

BYLAW VII: Sponsor Targeting Restrictions

Sponsors may ONLY use non-demographic criteria.

Allowed Criteria ✅

Prohibited Criteria ❌

Self-Identification Note

A sponsor may name a recognized group (e.g., “self-identified Catholic church member”) but this is:

1. Self-identified by the recipient
2. NOT verified by Liana Banyan
3. NOT stored in any database
4. Used only for that specific gift matching

BYLAW VIII: Mainnet Migration Governance

Moving to mainnet blockchain requires explicit governance approval.

Current State

• Network: Base Sepolia (Testnet)
• Status: Default by design
• Reason: Cost control, development flexibility

Mainnet Migration Requirements

What Mainnet Enables

• SEC registration filing capability
• Value trading on secondary markets
• Real-world asset backing
• Public verification at scale

What Mainnet Requires

• Real gas costs (actual money)
• Regulatory compliance
• Public scrutiny
• Ongoing governance accountability

BYLAW IX: Executive Compensation Cap

Section 9.1 — CEO Salary Cap

$1,000,000 USD per year MAXIMUM

This is an UPPER LIMIT. Does NOT affect what the CEO earns from personal inventions, projects, or investments.

Section 9.2 — Founder’s Cost+20% Option

The Founder, while serving as CEO, may calculate salary as:

Personal Operating Costs + 20%

Including:

• Home office/workspace (garage = Corporate Headquarters)
• Utilities, equipment, transportation
• Other documented business expenses

“I use the same Cost+20% model you do. Make money WITH, not FOR.”

BYLAW X: Steward Compensation Model

All leadership positions use the same model: escrow risk, proportional authority, success-based reward.

The Steward Formula

Authority Ratio = (Escrowed Joules ÷ Project Cost) × Responsibility Scope

Reward = Project Success × Authority Ratio × Steward Multiplier

Escrow Requirement

To receive leadership authority:

1. Escrow personal Joules (collateral)
2. Escrow amount = maximum authority level
3. Released upon successful completion + sign-off
4. Forfeited if responsibilities not met

Authority Is Proportional

Steward Selection (Portfolio Interface)

Project owners select via checkboxes:

| ☑ Financials + Taxes | Full authority over finances | | ☑ Marketing | Full authority over marketing | | ☑ Social Media | Full authority over social | | ☑ Production | Full authority over production |

No Micromanaging Clause

When you delegate, you DELEGATE.

The Steward:

• Is hired for expertise
• Pays the price (escrow) like you
• Gains the reward like you
• Has FULL authority within their domain
• Cannot be overridden on operational decisions

The Owner:

• Sets strategic direction
• Reviews outcomes
• Does NOT dictate methods
• May revoke delegation (with notice) but not micromanage

BYLAW XI: Corporate Headquarters

The Founder’s garage is designated as Corporate Headquarters.

This demonstrates:

• Lean operations
• Same Cost+20% model as members
• No unnecessary overhead
• Authenticity (“Built in a garage, like the greats”)

Summary of Structural Bylaws

Legal Standing

These bylaws:

• Are incorporated into the corporate charter
• Exceed requirements of GDPR, CCPA, and state privacy laws
• Cannot be waived by contract
• Apply to all subsidiaries and affiliated projects
• Are binding on successors and assigns

“We built the walls so high that even we cannot climb over them. That is the point.”

FOR THE KEEP!
