What we couldn't confirm3
- Whether the ASSETS.md carve-outs make the project 'open_core' or still 'open' is not settled by the material; the code license is MIT and the carved-out files are non-code assets.
- The main network being run by one company is taken from the list description, not verified in the README.
- Full feature parity with Threads is not stated in the material.
