Code of Conduct
Lunar is run by humans, for humans. Here are the rules we strive to live by, and we expect members of the Lunar Community to do the same.
We are committed to making participation in the Lunar Ecosystem harassment-free for everyone, regardless of experience level, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or nationality.
When referring to the Lunar Community within the Lunar Ecosystem, we mean:
- Governance platforms (Discussion & Voting)
- Discussion channels (Discord & Telegram)
- Social channels (Twitter, YouTube, etc)
- Code repositories (GitHub, etc)
- Live events and public spaces (including AMAs)
- Working group calls
Do
- Be kind, respectful, and compassionate to your fellow community members and moderators at all times.
- Be positive and share your optimism about the project. Constructive feedback is welcomed; unfocused criticism is not.
- Ask questions before jumping to conclusions. Integrity is a key component of everything we do, so if you have a concern or question, please message the team so we can resolve it quickly.
- If you are new to Lunar, check our website and social channels for information before asking basic questions. Almost everything you need to know can be found here or on our Governance Platform.
- Engage in healthy discussions about the project. Fighting and arguments are not necessary and turn off other current + potential participants in the Lunar Ecosystem.
- Think long-term. Short-term conditions are not worth increasing everyone's blood pressure over.
- Help your fellow members by answering their questions when you can. Make new and inexperienced members feel welcomed.
- We’re all here to make Lunar the best ecosystem possible. While making yourself feel at home, please take the time to do so for your fellow community members as well.
Don't

Remedies
We reserve the right to take any corrective action we deem necessary to protect the Lunar Ecosystem and its participants.
If you believe you have been unjustly banned from the server, please reach out to an admin or email us at appeals@lunar.io explaining the situation.
By joining any Lunar community or governance channel, you agree to adhere to these rules and guidelines at all times. These rules and guidelines are subject to change. Any modification to this document will be approved by Lunar DAO as necessary and updated across all channels.
