Exchange for Communities,
Not Corporations

BeanPool is a local exchange platform with a stunning native mobile application that lets neighborhoods trade services and share resources β€” peer-to-peer, no middlemen, no fees.

How BeanPool Works

A community exchange where everyone starts at zero. Value flows from real services exchanged between real people β€” no money changes hands.

🏑
01

Start a Node

Deploy a BeanPool node for your neighborhood, town, or community. It runs on any server β€” even a Raspberry Pi.

🀝
02

Invite Members

Members join through a web-of-trust invitation tree. Each person is invited by someone already in the network, creating a clear chain of trust.

πŸ”„
03

Trade Services

Post what you need or offer on the marketplace. When services are exchanged, your balance adjusts β€” positive for providers, negative for receivers.

πŸ›οΈ
04

Fund Projects

Circulation Fee (a small progressive fee on idle positive balances) flows into a Community Commons pool. Members vote to fund local projects.

Built Different

Not a blockchain. Not a startup. A platform owned by the communities that run it.

Balanced Exchange

No money changes hands. When you provide a service, your balance goes up. When you receive one, it goes down. The community always balances to zero.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Local-First Marketplace

An integrated marketplace with map pins, category tags, and the ability to browse needs and offers from connected nodes.

🌳

Web of Trust

Membership is managed through an invitation tree β€” not anonymous sign-ups. This keeps communities accountable and Sybil-resistant.

πŸ›‘οΈ

4-Tier Location Privacy

Protect your private address. Automatically obscure your location at the Regional, Postal Code, or Neighborhood level while remaining mathematically verified.

πŸ›οΈ

Community Commons

Circulation Fee (a small progressive fee on idle positive balances) feeds a commons pool. Members propose and vote on projects to fund.

⭐

Rating System

Provider and receiver ratings build after each transaction, creating trust signals that are visible across the network.

πŸ’¬

Encrypted Messaging

Communicate securely with other members to negotiate trades, share details, and organize community events using end-to-end encryption.
