Trust Nothing — Verify Everything

The Universal Fairness Protocol (UFP) is a fully transparent, cryptographically secure, and modular fairness engine built on SHA-256 hashing and public deterministic formulas.
It empowers developers to create round-based systems where every outcome is verifiable by anyone — without relying on trust, hidden logic, or closed backend systems.

Designed for flexibility, UFP can power any kind of fairness-driven application:
reward distributions, randomized selections, participation incentives, airdrops, lotteries, task-based campaigns, loyalty programs, giveaways and beyond.

At its core, UFP is about proving outcomes mathematically and publicly, ensuring absolute transparency and public auditability.

• Fully deterministic and verifiable outcomes
• Public live ticket lists → SHA-256 hashing → Sliding segment extraction → Mathematical winner resolution
• Modular addon architecture — extend functionality without modifying the core
• Self-hosted, open-source, no vendor lock-in
• Full documentation and public verification tools included
• Built for scalability across various fairness-based use cases

Live List = Final List → Final List = SHA-256 Hash → SHA-256 Hash = Segment → Segment = Public Formula → Public Formula = Winner

This mantra defines the entire Universal Fairness Protocol flow —
from live entries to cryptographic sealing to winner resolution —
making every outcome fully reproducible and publicly verifiable.

UFP makes fairness provable —
using pure cryptography, public audits, and mathematical formulas —
eliminating the need for trust or closed backend assumptions.

Every round, every ticket, every winning position can be independently verified by anyone —
even with a calculator.

Because fairness isn't just a feature.
It's the foundation.
