    1. 0.2. How Open-Source Works
    2. 0.4. Why Open-Source Matters

Open-source refers to software whose source code is publicly available for anyone to inspect, modify, and distribute. It encourages transparency, collaboration, and innovation.

How Open-Source Works

Instead of being locked behind proprietary licenses, open-source projects invite developers worldwide to contribute improvements or create new versions. Most open-source software is governed by licenses that define how it can be used and shared, like MIT, GPL, or Apache licenses.

Why Open-Source Matters

In the blockchain world, open-source code builds trust. Projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum are open-source, meaning anyone can verify how they work. This transparency reduces the risk of hidden vulnerabilities, promotes community involvement, and accelerates development across the ecosystem.
