# Balanced Exchange Framework (BEF) > Framework Version 1.0, 2026-08-22. An operational and transparency framework describing how value > circulates, how shared direction is formed and how responsibility returns to the individual, across > the Exchange, Alignment and Self-Responsibility (OWN) pillars. The document is not a MiCA crypto-asset > white paper, a legal opinion, a licence or a regulatory approval. The site is the document. Every page below is available as Markdown by appending `.md`, and the whole framework is available as a single file at https://balancedexchangeframe.work/llms-full.txt - Language: the source is deliberately mixed Slovenian and English and is preserved as written. A complete English rendering is available by appending ?lang=en to any URL below, including https://balancedexchangeframe.work/llms-full.txt?lang=en. The original remains the source of record. - Structure: Core Framework, protocols BEF-P01 to BEF-P24, annexes A to S, and per-version change summaries. - Versioning: each published version is immutable; https://balancedexchangeframe.work/api/versions lists them and https://balancedexchangeframe.work/api/versions/{version}/changes reports the paragraph-level diff against the previous version. ## Framework front matter -
