Warrant Canary

Venice should publish a warrant canary, covering a variety of specific claims. Here’s what Deepseek came up with:

Venice Warrant Canary
Last Updated: [Month/Day/Year]

To our users:

Venice LLC has not received any secret subpoenas, warrants, national security letters, gag orders, or other compelled surveillance mandates from any governmental entity that would compromise user privacy.

1. No Compelled Disclosure

   • We have never provided user data to any third party, including governments.

   • We have not modified systems to enable surveillance.

2. No Backdoors

   • No cryptographic keys or system access have been surrendered to external actors.

3. No Data Retention

   • As a zero-knowledge platform, Venice cannot access or retain user prompts, documents, or inference outputs.

If this statement is not updated within 30 days, assume we are legally barred from renewing it. Absence of this canary constitutes constructive notice of government coercion.

Verification:

• Digitally signed with Venice’s root key (0x...).

• Historical versions archived via IPFS (CID: Qm...).

• Hash published on Base blockchain (VVV token contract).

"We built Venice to resist tyranny. If forced to betray you, we will shut down before complying."
