Papaya manifesto

## Respect for the planet

As human consciousness grows, so does the understanding of respect and the value of caring for natural resources. Our product accounts for this factor first and foremost. Papaya moves money with minimal use of planetary resources.

## Respect for people's time

We care about human attention, which is why the system is as simple as possible to use, protecting our user's personal time as well.

## Respect for freedom

Papaya allows people to freely manage their own money, being an absolutely transparent system.

## Respect within the team

Respect within the team is the fundamental foundation of Papaya. Our intention is to see independent, strong individuals who resonate with the company's values. We want to see people who burn with the idea, ready to grow together and move forward toward building the projects of the future, so that together we build a New World.
