Contracts
Digital agreements between people, signed with real cryptography. Write the terms from a template or bring your own file; both parties sign with their personal keys, on their own devices, and the signed text can never be swapped afterwards.
How it works
- 1The creator picks the kind of contract — service, sale, rental, loan or their own document — and names the other party.
- 2The terms start from a template already filled with what the platform knows and are edited in the built-in editor — or the creator attaches their own file. The creator reviews the final text and signs.
- 3The other party gets a notification, reads the terms and co-signs. Both signatures are made with personal PGP keys, on each party's own device — the keys never reach the server.
- 4The work happens, on the agreed terms.
- 5Each side independently marks the contract complete and reviews the other. The contract is finalized only when both have confirmed.
Where the text lives
Text written in the editor is encrypted in your browser for the two parties and the arbiter, if one is named: the platform stores ciphertext it cannot read, and the other party opens it with their own key before signing. The title, the parties and linked listings stay visible to the platform. You can mark a contract as open instead: its text is then stored readable, for agreements that are not confidential, and that choice is part of what both parties sign. A file you attach yourself never leaves your device: only its 64-character fingerprint is stored, enough to prove later that exactly this file was signed and never enough to reconstruct it. In every case the signatures cover the fingerprint.
If something goes wrong
Either party can start arbitration: a chosen arbiter joins a private chat with both sides, reviews the evidence and issues a verdict. Arbiters have public profiles with transparent statistics, and unresolved cases can escalate to an institutional arbitration centre and, ultimately, to court.
