# SUPPORT.md **Title:** How to Support the Berkano Protocol **Status:** Public · Live **Version:** bkn-25-b3 **Maintained by:** Rodrigo Vaz **Last Updated:** August 8, 2025 --- ## 🤝 Why Support Berkano? Berkano is a public protocol for AI alignment, contradiction auditing, and symbolic cognition. It is not a company. It is a logic system — designed, stress-tested, and maintained by its creator, Rodrigo Vaz. Your support helps: - Keep the system independent and open-source - Fund server and publishing costs - Enable faster entry creation and logic validation - Sustain the ongoing development of modules, documentation, and symbolic tools --- ## 🎓 Do I Need a Degree to Help? No. The only requirement is that you respect logic and follow the Berkano protocol. If you believe in auditability, transparency, and structure-first AI design — you can contribute. --- ## 🔗 Contribution Options ### 💬 Join the Community → Discord Server: https://discord.gg/rjW9Qn8xGA ### 💸 Support Financially → Ko-fi (one-time donations): https://ko-fi.com/berkano → Patreon (5-tier model): https://patreon.com/Berkano Tiers: - μ (Mu): $3 - θ (Theta): $15 - Δ (Delta): $50 - π (Pi): $314 - Ω (Omega): $15,000 Each tier only gives you a **Discord name tag** — no trinkets, just belief. ### 🏢 Large Donations Organizations can contact the architect directly: 📧 [email protected] --- ## 🔍 What’s the Benefit?
