Public Goods Fund

Common Ground Budget

Coordinate around goods that many people value for different reasons. Contributions count only after the relevant identity, threshold, review, challenge, authorization, evidence, and settlement rules pass.

How it works

One budget, explicit stances, gate-cleared funding.

The default path is intentionally bounded. Advanced mechanism details remain inspectable, but they do not become binding unless the review screen presents them and the participant accepts the frozen snapshot.

01

Choose a maximum budget

Set the most you are willing to contribute and define fallback treatment before any external payment handoff is opened.

02

State project preferences

Use plain stances: fund, fund if different-view support joins, needs review, or skip.

03

Review the frozen terms

Inspect caps, thresholds, fees, privacy, destination evidence, challenge windows, and non-completion rules.

04

Clear only after gates pass

Threshold, identity, review, challenge, destination, external-payment, and evidence checks must pass before a contribution counts.

Service routes

Choose the task you need to complete.

The hub links directly to the backed workflow for each task instead of exposing the entire mechanism on one page.

Operating boundaries

What participants can rely on.

  • A preview is not a contribution, charge, match, payout, or certificate.
  • Moral Trade does not hold participant funds or provide legal escrow.
  • Project support requires an active fiscal sponsor or another legally approved external recipient.
  • External payment evidence shows that a transaction occurred; it does not by itself prove why it occurred.
  • Projects do not clear while threshold, review, challenge, destination, authorization, or settlement blockers remain.
  • Public progress may remain sealed before close to reduce strategic manipulation and privacy leakage.
