Freeze today's record
this firm
We freeze every rule this firm's programs carry today, each with the page it was read from: the address, the hour, a fingerprint of the page's text and the sentence the rule rests on. It is a record of the rules, not a copy of the firm's pages and not a judgement. If the firm edits a rule later, your record still says what it said today.
Minting is part of FundedHub+. What you mint stays readable at its own link afterwards, whether or not your membership does.
