About
A small editorial team, a single network, a quiet shelf.
Mentisarcway is a reference library for one proof-of-stake network. It is not a course, a bootcamp, or a funnel to a paid product. It exists because the editors were tired of citing sources that moved.
Why the library exists
The Solana ecosystem has a documentation problem that is not really about documentation. The official docs are good and getting better, but they describe how things are supposed to work. Validators, client teams, and program authors know how things actually work, and that knowledge lives in chat threads, call recordings, and personal notes that rot within months. A reader who wants to understand stake accounts, leader schedule, or the cost of a byte of account storage ends up triangulating between five sources, three of which are out of date.
Mentisarcway is an attempt to write that knowledge down in a form a reader can trust for an evening. Each entry is a small monograph: a term is defined, the design rationale is traced to the proposal that introduced it, and a worked example points at a real transaction signature or account address the reader can open in a block explorer and check.
What we do and do not do
We write definitions, deep dives, and reading paths. We do not give investment advice, predict token prices, or rank projects. We do not run a Discord, a bootcamp, or a paid tier. We do not accept sponsorship from token issuers, foundations, or RPC providers. The library is paid for by the editors and kept deliberately small so that the work stays checkable.
How independence is kept
Every contributor discloses any related token position or validator interest on their profile and on each entry they touch. An editor who changes their validator configuration does not write the entry on that subject the same week. An editor who holds a token does not write the entry that summarises that token's program. The rule is not a guarantee of neutrality, but it makes the bias visible to the reader.
Where the library sits
The editors work from a small office in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. The shelf is read by developers, validators, and analysts across several time zones, and we answer mail in English and Korean. The library is a quiet project on purpose; the goal is to be the shelf a reader reaches for at eleven at night, not the brand that shouts in a feed.
