# Open source and credibly neutral
The Based Stack is a public good and will be developed as an [open-source](https://github.com/spire-labs/based-stack) project. We plan to be transparent throughout the entire implementation process and to promote open source contributions from the community.
> This is an important part of our brand alignment, but also the way we believe that blockchain projects should be developed.
Credible neutrality, in this context, means that the Based Stack does not depend on a token to function, rely on a specific service provider, or even extract revenue from the sequencing process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://spire-docs.gitbook.io/spire/based-stack/open-source-and-credibly-neutral.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
