pact
Earn it together.
A peer-verified open exchange of goods and services. Do what you couldn't do alone - and walk away with permanent, public proof of what you did.
How a Pact works
Four steps, and one of them is permanent.
The last one never goes away. Everything else is built around that.
Post a Pact
The work you need done, and the roles it takes to do it.
Fill the roles
People apply with their skills, and can counter on what it is worth.
Do the work
Coordinate privately. The record of it stays public.
Earn a Hallmark
Permanent proof of the exchange, attributed to everyone in it.
The Ledger
A Hallmark cannot be bought, edited, or deleted. Not by us either.
- No feed
