No platform fees. No corporate middlemen. No fiat required. Peer-to-peer commerce priced in Sovereign Credits — earned exclusively through verified human action, spent on real goods and services from real people in your neighbourhood.
The Maker's Market is built into every community hex page. Any RESTORE player can toggle a Vendor profile and list what they have — homegrown produce, handmade goods, skills, services. Buyers pay in SC. The transaction is a peer-to-peer bill of exchange — legally robust, centuries old, cryptographically verified.

Earn SC through missions
Every real-world RESTORE mission generates Sovereign Credits. Weatherise a window. Grow food. Teach a skill. Install solar. SC is earned exclusively through verified human action — no speculation, no shortcuts. Minting is anchored to real-world assets: solar capacity and stokvel contributions.

Browse your hex feed
Your community hex page shows listings from players within your geographic area. Fresh produce from three streets away. Tool rental from your neighbour. Tutoring from the engineer down the road. Local by design — the H3 hex grid ensures every listing is within walking distance.
03 —
Transact peer-to-peer
Buyer and vendor complete a BLE handshake at the point of exchange. SC transfers from buyer to vendor. The transaction logs to the Merkle ledger. An encounter receipt broadcasts to the P2P network. In State 0 this routes through the cloud API. In State 2 it never leaves the mesh.
04 —
Build your reputation
Completed transactions generate buyer attestations visible on your vendor profile. Your SC lifetime balance, mission history, and transaction reputation form a trust score grounded in actual, verifiable local activity — not a gameable star rating designed by a platform that profits from your trust.
05 —
Stokvel backstop protection
v6 introduces the Stokvel Empathy Backstop. If a regular contributor suffers a hardship, grace debt up to 30% of lifetime contribution is covered by the community fund. Vendors who hit temporary cash-flow issues don't collapse — the community has already agreed to cover them.
06 —
Community self-regulates
Disputes go to a sortition jury of 12 players — 7 randomly selected (VRF), 5 by reputation. No platform support tickets. No company decision. An 8/12 threshold resolves within the protocol. Consistently bad actors become visible through the same governance layer that runs everything else.
These are the kinds of listings a mature hex community generates. On launch, listings come from Stewards and early players. As SC circulates, variety and density grow organically.

The Maker's Market has no listing fees, no commission, no platform cut. You earn 100% of the SC from every transaction. You set the price. You set the terms. The only requirement is being a verified RESTORE player — at least 3 BLE handshakes with trusted players in your hex.
Vendor reputation is built through completed transactions and buyer attestations — visible to your entire community hex. No algorithm decides your visibility. No central arbiter adjudicates disputes.

Sovereign Credits cannot be speculated on, bought with cash, or transferred outside the local trust network. They can only be created through verified human action — and spent on goods and services from people who earned theirs the same way.
Offline Velocity Limit (State 2)
When operating in the BLE mesh (no internet), the protocol enforces: max_spend_24h = min(balance × 0.10, 500 SC). This prevents fraudulent offline double-spends. Limits lift automatically when the node reconnects and the Merkle chain syncs.
SC transactions are structured as peer-to-peer bills of exchange — a commercial credit instrument predating modern banking by several centuries, legally recognised in virtually every jurisdiction on Earth.
The Bills of Exchange Framework
Under the Bills of Exchange Act (and equivalent legislation globally), a bill of exchange is a written order by one party to another to pay a specified sum — representing an obligation backed by productive capacity. This framework has existed for over 600 years. It does not require government recognition of SC as currency. It does not require a banking licence. It does not trigger financial instruments regulation, because SC does not appreciate, depreciate, or trade speculatively. SC peer-to-peer commerce in the Maker's Market is not a new financial instrument. It is an old one, made frictionless by cryptographic verification.
Not taxable as income
SC is a record of contribution, not compensation. Mutual credit systems and time banks have operated legally for decades on this basis.
Not a financial instrument
SC cannot be speculated on, does not appreciate or depreciate, and cannot be listed on exchanges. Financial instruments regulation does not apply.
Not seizable as property
SC exists only as entries in a distributed ledger that no single authority controls. There is no central server to subpoena and no company to compel.
Operates across jurisdictions
The Bills of Exchange framework is recognised internationally. Cross-hex transactions carry the same legal basis regardless of national borders.
