Safety

Trust without paid placement.

Listings rank by distance and freshness — not who bought an ad slot. Coins stay held while a trade is open, and staff can step in when something goes wrong.

Neighbors meeting at a public place to exchange goods

How we protect members

Verification, meet points, and held coins

These are product rules — not marketing promises. The member app enforces them on every offer.

A public picnic pavilion and lawn where members can meet

Public meet points

Parks, libraries, and trailheads are seeded from real maps. Members finish exchanges in the open — not at a stranger’s door by default.

A coin held between two people before it is released

Held coins

An accepted offer locks coins on the ledger. Nobody is paid for a no-show while that trade is still open.

Staff reviewing a member case on a laptop

Operations center

When chat is not enough, staff search the order or post, read the event history, and release, return, or split coins. Commerce support — not a device NOC.

Support desk

Verified neighbors

Phone and address checks per community rules before someone can trade.

Report from the app

Open a shopping issue from trades or appointments. Coins on that trade freeze until the case closes.

No coin sales

Members earn becommerce coins in the community. They cannot buy them or mint them from the phone.

Offers, protection, and wallet behaviour are explained in plain language for members — separate from this trust overview.
