Our commitment
Probant Protocol is intended to be usable by everyone who needs to verify a right, including people
using screen readers, keyboard only navigation, screen magnification, speech input, and reduced
motion settings. We measure against the
Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 2.2 at level AA.
Current status: partially conformant. Most of the site meets level AA. The exceptions are
listed below by name rather than summarized away.
What is in place
- Keyboard
- Every interactive control is reachable and operable by keyboard, including the navigation menu, the language switcher, the whitepaper tabs, and every form field. Focus is never trapped.
- Focus visibility
- A high contrast focus ring is drawn on every focusable element and is never removed. Focus moves into the language menu when it opens and returns to the trigger on Escape.
- Contrast
- Every rendered text node on every page is measured against its composited background on each build, at 4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text. A page that fails does not ship. The chart palette is separately validated for deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia separation.
- Motion
- The hero animation, the count up figures, the decode effect, and the scroll reveals all honor prefers-reduced-motion. With that setting on, content is shown immediately in its final state and nothing animates.
- Content without script
- Every page renders its full text content with JavaScript disabled, and the language switcher still navigates. Reveal animations degrade to plain visible content rather than hiding it.
- Structure
- One h1 per page, headings in order, landmark elements for navigation and content, and lists marked up as lists.
- Images and canvas
- Decorative graphics carry empty alt text or aria-hidden. The animated hero canvas is decorative and hidden from assistive technology; no information exists only inside it.
- Zoom and reflow
- Content reflows to a single column at 320 CSS pixels and remains usable at 200 percent zoom without horizontal scrolling. Wide tables and the sublicense tree scroll inside their own container rather than forcing the page sideways.
- Forms
- Every field has a persistent visible label tied to it programmatically. Required fields are marked. Errors are reported in text, not by color alone.
- Language
- Each page declares its language, and the translated pages declare theirs, so a screen reader selects the right voice. Language options in the switcher carry their own lang attribute.
Known issues
These are open, and naming them is more useful to you than claiming full conformance.
-
The sublicense tree uses box drawing characters. A screen reader announces those glyphs
literally, which is noise. The relationships are legible visually but are not yet exposed as a
proper hierarchical structure. A semantic list version is planned.
-
The allocation and unlock charts are canvas based. The underlying figures appear as text
in the tables beside them, so no information is lost, but the charts themselves are not
navigable and carry only a summary description.
-
Translated pages cover the overview only. The protocol, token, whitepaper, and raise pages
are available in English only. That is a content gap rather than a technical barrier, and the
notice on each translated page says so before you click through.
-
Headings use a condensed typeface. Oswald is narrower than a normal grotesque, which some
readers with low vision find harder at small sizes. Body copy avoids it entirely for that
reason.
-
No formal audit yet. Testing has been internal, using keyboard traversal, zoom, reduced
motion, and automated checks. A third party audit is planned before the anchor tool opens.
How this was tested
Keyboard only traversal of every page, rendering at 320, 390, 768, 1280, and 1440 pixels wide, 200
percent browser zoom, forced reduced motion, JavaScript disabled, and automated contrast and
structure checks run against every page on each build.
Three gates run before anything ships, and each one exists because something got past the previous
set. A structure gate that scrolls every page and asserts that every animated block actually
reaches full opacity, because a completely blank page once passed every other check. A contrast
gate that measures every text node against its composited background. And a behavior gate that
drives the language switcher, the mobile menu, and the forms, including a pass with JavaScript
turned off. A failure in any of the three stops the build.
Tell us about a barrier
If something on this site blocks you, email info@prbt.io with the
page address, what you were trying to do, and what assistive technology you were using if you are
comfortable sharing it. We aim to acknowledge within two business days and to give you a fix or a
timeline within ten.
If you need any content on this site in another format, ask and we will produce it. That includes
the whitepaper as plain text or as a tagged document.
