PezkuwiChain is built on the Polkadot SDK, and says so.
The framework — its consensus, its cross-chain messaging format, its runtime machinery — is
the work of Parity Technologies and the wider Polkadot community, released as free software.
That inheritance is not incidental; it is the reason a small institute could build a state
layer at all rather than spending a decade on a consensus engine. The debt is acknowledged in
every file: four thousand eight hundred and thirty source files carry a copyright line naming
Parity Technologies alongside the Dijital Kurdistan Tech Institute, and the files this project
has not modified carry Parity's alone.
What is ours is the layer above: the citizen register, the offices and their elections, the
courts, the trust computation, the validator pool, the treasuries and the authority chains
that reach them. Those are original work, and they are what this document describes.
Independence is technical as well as legal. PezkuwiChain is not a Polkadot parachain; it is a
sovereign relay chain with its own validators, its own token, and its own governance. It
shares an ancestry with Polkadot in the way two states may share a legal tradition — visibly,
and without either governing the other.
