Custodian
A Custodian Partner runs their own sovereign enclave — their metal, their root — built as a joint venture with the Economic Group, which funds it and holds a stake. Not hosted on Opplet’s machines, and not governed the way Opplet is: you hold the controls, the Economic Group holds a stake.
It’s earned and competitive. The Economic Group funds the cause of digital sovereignty, not a favorite — build something worth funding, make your case, and you can ask too. Nothing is promised to anyone.
(Stub — expand from the custodian-partner draft; the JV working terms live in a separate draft doc. Cross-linked from future/ as the enclave-expansion route.)
