## BACKGROUND:

The IC API provides a suite of functionalities that power command-line tools such as dfx, as well as the metrics populating the ICP Dashboard. It serves as a critical bridge for developers and stakeholders interacting with the network.


## ADOPT: 

A vote to Adopt confirms that the IC API is the property of the DFINITY Foundation. Under this motion, the source code will remain closed source, and no further structural changes to its governance are required.


## REJECT: 

A vote to Reject asserts that the IC API is the shared property of all ICP token holders. This would mandate that all components of the API be open-sourced immediately to align with community-led governance.


## Motivation:

There are those that might claim, transparency and verifiability are standards we should strive to uphold as a decentralized technology.

However, there are significant strategic reasons to maintain the current proprietary structure.


## Conclusion:

We recommend voting Adopt. Retaining the IC API as a closed source, property of the DFINITY Foundation ensures the continued integrity of the tools we rely on daily.




The IC API Must remain closed source
