Five instruments. One federation.
Authority originates locally. Cooperation expands by consent. Proof travels with value. Technology serves the Constitution.
The commercial license is Class A or Class B. The August 2026 constitution PDF still prints an earlier three-tier deployment table. That table is not the current license. The October 2026 white paper states the license.

The Constitution of the JIL Federation is the operational governing instrument for the federated Layer-1 system and every Sovereign Cell that runs on it.
The JIL Federation offers a third path. One original Layer-1 core. Sovereign roots, hubs, and annexes. Shared finality and proof. Local currency issuance and local policy. Corridor settlement from the sovereign root. Identity and compliance attached to every material movement of value.
The core was written from scratch. It comprises approximately 2.8 million lines of source code and more than 350 services. It is not a fork of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, or any other chain. Post-quantum cryptography is applied at the source and at the gate. Private keys are stored under a 2-of-3 threshold scheme. On the default service key, signing reconstructs the secret in memory. FROST-class threshold signing is not shipped. Compliance is evaluated before settlement.
Authority originates in each Sovereign Cell under a published Statement of Authority and the law that authorizes the Cell. The Federation expands capability. It does not take monetary or policy control away from the Cell. The Layer-1 core is licensed. The licensor does not issue Cell currencies and does not set Cell policy.
Where the Constitution and the Sovereign Papers differ on operational requirements, this Constitution governs. The Papers remain the extended scholarly treatise on constitutional digital governance.
Closing principle: Authority originates locally. Cooperation expands by consent. Proof travels with value. Technology serves the Constitution.
