We know that it started as a fork of Waydroid

• ValveTestApp3043620 mentions Waydroid
• Lepton & Lepton Development still have a hero_capsule.jpg mentioning Waydroid

But:

Update: While Lepton was based from Waydroid at the beginning

It seems to be a lot more custom now. To the point where it’s being described as “not really Waydroid anymore” from those who are working on it

Anyone can just go into their account settings and mark their accout as a bot. Idk why you would though
