## The LPS-1 Protocol (Open Standard)

LPS-1 (Literary Provenance Standard) is an MIT-licensed open standard for anchoring literary
manuscripts on blockchain with cryptographic proof. Five compliance levels:

- L0: SHA-256 hash anchor — one transaction, permanent timestamp
- L1: Merkle tree over chapters — prove any paragraph without revealing the full text
- L2: IPFS content addressing — decentralized storage pin
- L3: Edition freeze — non-upgradeable contract, no admin keys
- L4: Cross-chain redundancy
- L5 (Full Stack): Polygon + IPFS + Bitcoin timestamps via OpenTimestamps

The 2,500 Donkeys uses L5. All data verifiable on-chain.
