Make this monorepo's tracked tree identical to the deployed github repo (github.com/pezkuwichain/pezkuwi-DKS): all RC/AH/People runtimes and framework carry the mainnet fixes (incl. U128CurrencyToVote everywhere, so the staking election stall cannot recur), and tools/usdt-bridge matches the current, public-safe custody tooling (real config/deploy units gitignored, secret-file locations and server IPs stripped, sanitized *.example templates committed). Only exception to the mirror: GitLab-native CI is preserved (.gitlab-ci.yml and .gitlab/), to be rebuilt to match the github CI pipeline in a follow-up.

# About PezkuwiChain — Brand & Identity
|
|
|
|
## An Independent Kurdish Blockchain Project
|
|
|
|
**PezkuwiChain** is the sovereign blockchain of the **Digital Kurdistan State (DKS)**,
|
|
developed by **PEZ KIWI Company**, a private company registered with the Kurdistan
|
|
Regional Government, Ministry of Trade and Industry (Registration No. 40633, Erbil, Iraq).
|
|
|
|
PezkuwiChain is an **independent project**. It is built upon the open-source
|
|
**polkadot-sdk** codebase, licensed under the **Apache License 2.0** and **GPL-3.0** —
|
|
licenses that expressly permit independent forking, modification, and redistribution.
|

PezkuwiChain is **not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by** Parity Technologies,

## The Name: "Pezkuwi"
|
|
|
|
**"Pezkuwi"** is the **Kurmancî Kurdish** word for the **wild mountain goat** — the bezoar
|
|
wild goat (*Capra aegagrus*) native to the Zagros mountains of Kurdistan. The Soranî dialect
|
|
equivalent, **"bizinîkîwî"**, is used in internal technical naming (e.g. `Bizinikiwi`, the
|
|
core framework). Both refer to the same animal — the national totem of the Kurdish people,
|
|
symbolizing resilience, freedom, and the bond between Kurds and their mountains.
|
|
|
|
The Kurmancî compound combines **"pez"** (small livestock/caprine, from the ancient
|
|
Indo-Iranian root *pasu-*) and **"kûvî"** (wild, mountain-dwelling).

## The Logo & Colors
|
|
|
|
- **Central sun (Roj)** — the national symbol of the Kurdish people, from the Kurdistan flag.
|
|
- **Six petals** in a floral/rosette arrangement — the four regions of Kurdistan (Bakur,
|
|
Başûr, Rojava, Rojhilat) plus the global diaspora, drawn from Kurdish carpet and textile motifs.
|
|
- **Kurdish national colors** — *kesk* (green: land), *sor* (red: sacrifice), *zer* (yellow: sun).
|
|
|
|
PezkuwiChain uses no color outside the Kurdish national palette. The red is the deep
|
|
Kurdish flag red (*sor*).

|
## Mission
|
|
|
|
PezkuwiChain exists to build decentralized, borderless digital infrastructure for the
|
|
Kurdish nation and for all stateless peoples and sovereign communities who share the values
|
|
of freedom, resilience, and self-determination.
