 - **Two co-founders.** Giovanny Amador - Engineering Lead: smart contracts, L1, SDK and infrastructure (authorship visible in the public commit history); also a hackathon winner outside Avalanche - ETH Uruguay 2025, 1st place at ETH Mexico Monterrey (Creator Economies track), 3rd place Arbitrum Innovation track. Monserrat Mendoza - Dev Lead: frontend UX/UI and backend developer; also a hackathon winner outside Avalanche - ETH Uruguay 2025. Both are Team1 Network Collaborators (accepted July 2026).
-- **Bus factor.** Most shipped code still runs through one founder today (Giovanny - every commit attributable to him, verifiable in the repo's public history). Monse has now shipped a real fix here too (commit `49177e0`, address validation before `readContract`) - a second contributor is real, just not yet at parity.

An outside contributor (not on the team) has also had three pull requests merged, each closing a "good first issue": [an ESLint fix](https://github.com/kumplyprotocol/Kumply/pull/24), [removal of an unused config file and image](https://github.com/kumplyprotocol/Kumply/pull/25) and a pure `meetsTierRequirement()` helper in the SDK, with tests, that follows the tier rule ([PR #26](https://github.com/kumplyprotocol/Kumply/pull/26)). That is one outside contributor with three PRs, not a contributor community.
 - **Code:** monorepo with pnpm workspaces - contracts, SDK, API, web - full test suite (contracts, SDK, API), CI on every push (GitHub Actions, 4 parallel jobs).
 - **Go-to-market:** targeting Mexican digital banks, venture funds and LatAm enterprises. No commercial agreements are signed to date; a partner is named only with their written permission.
 - **Open source:** Apache 2.0 licensed (express patent grant, no trademark license), public GitHub, no proprietary lock-in.
