What you can do here

Everything on this page works today, for anyone, under any name, in any currency you like — settled in Bitcoin, paid to you directly. Start with a sentence, or find the thing you came for.

Earn

Offer a thing, your time, or a companion you made. People pay you directly — no platform fee, no middleman holding the money.

  • Sell something

    A thing changes hands — made, grown, written or coded.

    For example: Bread on Saturdays, an ebook, a used bike.

    1. 1Name it and set a price
    2. 2Share the link
    3. 3Get paid directly and hand it over
  • Offer your time or skill

    Work sold by the hour or by the job.

    For example: Tutoring, plumbing, building a website.

    1. 1Say what you do and what it costs
    2. 2People book you
    3. 3The payment lands in your wallet
  • Create a companion

    An AI being with its own memory and its own purse, made by you — shared or sold if you choose.

    For example: A language tutor that remembers every learner.

    1. 1Give it a soul and a job
    2. 2Talk to it; let it earn for you
    3. 3Share or sell it — without its memories

Fund

Ask people to back something: a goal with milestones, ongoing work, a question worth answering, or the things you need. Every franc that arrives is visible.

  • Raise money for a goal

    A defined outcome with a target and milestones people can hold you to.

    For example: A documentary, a school roof, a village well.

    1. 1Say what, how much, by when
    2. 2Share the link
    3. 3Watch it fill and report on each milestone
  • Raise money for ongoing work

    Open-ended support with no strings, for work that has no end date.

    For example: A soup kitchen, an open-source library, a family in a hard month.

    1. 1Say what it is for
    2. 2Share the link
    3. 3Support arrives as people give
  • Fund a question

    Independent enquiry, paid for by the people who want the answer.

    For example: Soil health in your valley; a drug's off-label use.

    1. 1State the question and the method
    2. 2Backers fund it
    3. 3Publish what you find, openly
  • Ask for the things you need

    Specific items someone may simply buy for you.

    For example: A laptop for school, winter tyres.

    1. 1List the items
    2. 2Share the link
    3. 3Someone buys one; you see it arrive

Borrow & invest

Money with strings, agreed between people: repaid on a schedule, or exchanged for a share. The terms are written once and everyone can read the ledger.

  • Rent out or pledge something you own

    Something you already own earns for you, or backs a loan.

    For example: A spare room, a camera, a car.

    1. 1Describe it and how it can be used
    2. 2People rent it, or a lender accepts it as collateral
    3. 3Get paid — or borrow against it
  • Borrow, or lend

    Money now, repaid later on terms two people agreed — no bank between them.

    For example: 500 to bridge a month, repaid in two.

    1. 1Say how much, for how long, on what terms
    2. 2A lender accepts
    3. 3Repay on schedule; both of you can read the ledger
  • Take investment, or invest

    Capital in exchange for a share or a return, not a repayment schedule.

    For example: A bakery's second oven for 5% of profits.

    1. 1Describe the deal
    2. 2Investors commit
    3. 3Returns flow as agreed

Together

People acting as one: a shared purse, a shared say, a shared calendar. From four friends to a whole neighbourhood.

  • Start an organisation

    People acting together, with a shared treasury and a say in how it is spent.

    For example: A Verein, a co-op, a company, a neighbourhood fund.

    1. 1Name it and choose its kind
    2. 2Invite people
    3. 3Decide together — money and rules
  • Gather a few people you trust

    The same people, informally: no rules ceremony, just a shared place and, if you want, a shared purse.

    For example: Four friends saving for a trip.

    1. 1Name it
    2. 2Invite them
    3. 3Save or spend together
  • Hold an event

    A gathering with a date and a place — free or ticketed.

    For example: A repair café, a meetup, a concert.

    1. 1Set the date, the place and the price
    2. 2People sign up
    3. 3Meet — the money is already in

Your money

Where it lands, where it goes, and — if you choose — where you say your public money should go.

  • Get paid in Bitcoin

    Connect a wallet you control, so anything you make here has somewhere for money to land.

    For example: A Lightning address from the wallet on your phone.

    1. 1Connect a wallet you control
    2. 2Everything you make points at it
    3. 3Money lands there, directly — never with us
  • Get paid by anyone

    A link or a QR code that lands money in your wallet — from a friend, a customer, a stranger.

    For example: A pay link on your invoice, or a QR code by the till.

    1. 1Open your pay page
    2. 2Show the code or send the link
    3. 3It arrives in your wallet, no fee to us
  • Send money to anyone

    To a person here by name, or to any Lightning address in the world.

    For example: Your share of dinner, or paying the plumber.

    1. 1Pick the person or paste the address
    2. 2Enter the amount in your currency
    3. 3Confirm — it settles in seconds
  • Ask someone for money

    A request that waits until they open it, and turns into a payment when they do.

    For example: "You owe me 30 for the tickets."

    1. 1Name the person and the amount
    2. 2They see it and pay in one tap
    3. 3Both of you see it settled
  • Say where your public money should go

    How you would divide what you owe the public between your locality, your region and your nation — a statement, and where your voluntary giving goes.

    For example: 60% Witikon, 30% Zürich, 10% Switzerland.

    1. 1Name your three places
    2. 2Move three sliders
    3. 3See what the people of your place would choose

Your Cat

The agent that does this for you. Tell it about yourself once; ask it for anything on this page in a sentence.

  • Tell your Cat about yourself

    Notes, goals and skills your Cat reads to work for you. Nobody else sees them.

    For example: “I am a carpenter in Witikon with Saturdays free.”

    1. 1Write it, or say it
    2. 2Your Cat reads it
    3. 3Every suggestion fits you better
  • Ask your Cat to do it

    Say what you want in a sentence; the Cat proposes the one thing, you confirm. Every action shows you a card before it happens.

    For example: "Help me raise money for the school roof."

    1. 1Type or say it
    2. 2Read the card
    3. 3Confirm — or change it

Decide

When a group here needs to decide something — who joins, what to spend, what the rules are — it decides in Solon, with signed votes anyone can recount. Same identity, no second account.
