How it works

    The Promise Ledger

    Every gēēk/dē is like a promise to be kept: a small IOU for someone's time, attention or expertise. The Promise Ledger is the double-entry book that records who promised what to whom, and how much of it was kept.

    1. You make a promise

    Pay per minute in a chat, pin a bounty to a forum question, or send directly to a friend. Each send writes two entries: a promise owed on your side and a promise receivable on theirs.

    2. They ask to settle

    When the creator wants to cash in, you settle in full, in part, or decline. Nothing is locked up in escrow, so settlement stays a human decision.

    3. The ledger remembers

    Kept promises build your reputation, and broken ones stay on the books. Creators keep their own private record of who's good for it. Reputation does the enforcing, not a middleman.

    Why double-entry matters

    Every transaction across the ecosystem (Highchat, Web4 Forum, Demesto, Outermost Realm, Cyazer) settles through one ledger. Every debit has a matching credit, so the books always balance and no app can mint promises on the side.
