Projects

What Moral Trade is actually doing.

This hub gives visitors a conventional place to start: current examples, the public goods pilot, and the workflows that are still cohort-mediated or upcoming.

Project rule

01
Show status plainly

Every surface should say whether it is live, illustrative, or planned.

02
Prefer evidence to claims

Projects earn more prominence as they accumulate reviewed public records.

Current surfaces

Browse by what is live enough to inspect

These labels are intentionally plain. They help donors, partners, and participants understand the work without decoding internal mechanism names first.

Live learning surface

Worked examples

Review seeded examples with terms, baselines, evidence rules, and manual-review notes before anyone relies on a real proposal.

Browse examples
Pilot mechanism

Public Goods Fund

Inspect candidate pools, contribution evidence, allocation rules, and the non-custodial public-good coordination workflow.

Open the fund
Cohort first

In pilot / upcoming

Track donation offsets, private matching, and paid-action formats that need more review, governance, and live evidence before scaling.

Boundaries

How to read project status

  • Worked examples are instructional records, not live demand.
  • External payment routes stay outside Moral Trade; the site does not hold funds.
  • Private matching remains consent-gated and manually reviewed.
  • Inactive mechanisms stay clearly marked until there is real operating evidence.

Moral Trade

A pilot institution for cooperation under disagreement.

Moral Trade helps serious participants test small, reviewable commitments across moral disagreement. It does not provide legal, tax, escrow, or custody services.
