Yes, I am authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

**Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?**

GitHub

**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**

I am a [private] of the [private] [private], the organization that authored and holds copyright in the Kvanta5-Core software, and I am authorized to act on the team's behalf in submitting this notice.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**

Kvanta5-Core is the reference full-node and consensus-client software for the Kvanta5 (KV5) cryptocurrency, written in C++ (forked from [private]). The work includes original source code implementing: the Kvanta5 proof-of-work difficulty adjustment algorithm (src/pow.cpp); the P2QR post-quantum address format and ML-DSA-87 signature verification logic; custom network/chain parameters (src/kernel/chainparams.cpp); block reward and developer-fund allocation logic (src/node/miner.cpp, src/consensus/devfund.h); and associated build, test, and documentation files. The complete codebase comprises approximately 324,800 lines of source code across 1,926 files.

**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**

https://github.com/Kvanta-Organization/Kvanta5-Core

**We ask that a DMCA takedown notice list every specific file in the repository that is infringing, unless the entire contents of the repository are infringing on your copyright. Please clearly state that the entire repository is infringing, OR provide the specific files within the repository you would like removed.**

**Based on the above, I confirm that:**

The entire repository is infringing

**Identify the full repository URL that is infringing:**

https://github.com/VoidHash-Crypto/VoidCoin-Core

**Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice#complaints-about-anti-circumvention-technology">Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology</a> if you are unsure.**

No

**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and <i>must be identified separately</i>. Please read more about <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">forks.</a> As forks may often contain different material than in the parent repository, if you believe any of the repositories or files in the forks are infringing, please list each fork URL below:**

**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**

Yes

**Which license?**

mit-license

**How do you believe the license is being violated?**

Kvanta5-Core is distributed under the MIT License, which conditions its permission to copy, modify, and distribute the software on retaining the original copyright notice and permission notice in all copies or substantial portions of the software. VoidCoin-Core does not retain this notice. Its COPYING file and the header of substantially every source file replace Kvanta5-Core's original copyright notice ("Copyright (c) 2009-2025 The Kvanta5 Core [private]" / "Copyright (c) 2009-2025 Kvanta5 [private]") outright with VoidCoin's own ("Copyright (c) 2009-2025 The VoidCoin Core [private]" / "Copyright (c) 2009-2025 VoidCoin [private]"), rather than including both. Because MIT's grant of permission is expressly conditioned on retaining the original notice, this substitution removes VoidCoin-Core's copying from the scope of the license.

**What changes can be made to bring the project into compliance with the license? For example, adding attribution, adding a license, making the repository private.**

Restore Kvanta5-Core's original copyright notice ("Copyright (c) 2009-2025 The Kvanta5 Core [private]" / "Copyright (c) 2009-2025 Kvanta5 [private]") in the COPYING file and in the header of every source file derived from Kvanta5-Core, in addition to (not instead of) any copyright notice VoidCoin wishes to add for its own modifications, as required by the MIT License.

**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**

**I have taken <a href="https://www.lumendatabase.org/topics/22">fair use</a> into consideration.**

**I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.**
