Communities first
Every trade lives inside a community you choose — alumni, neighbors, friends. Discovery is scoped to where trust already exists.
- Self-serve community creation with invite links
- Portable reputation across communities you join
- Plain-language contracts with click-to-sign
- No cash top-ups — pure barter, on purpose
Why start with alumni and neighbors
Trust, not scale, is the hard problem in barter — an open marketplace of strangers collapses without it. Enkind starts narrow on purpose: a handful of high-trust networks (a college class, a neighborhood, a co-op) where reputation already exists, then lets that trust travel with members as they join more communities.
