Trust explainer

What you can rely on today.

Moral Trade makes proposal terms, evidence expectations, safety boundaries, and review status legible. It does not make moral rankings, hold funds, automate outreach, or promise legal enforceability.

Review safety policyContact operators

Trust split

01
Action evidence

Did someone do what they said? Look for receipts, logs, attestations, or records.

02
Baseline confidence

Would they have done it anyway? This stays separate from factual proof.

03
Externality review

Who might object, and could the trade harm values not represented by the parties?

Guarantees

Current public commitments

These are the operational claims the site is designed to support in the current pilot phase.

Boundaries are explicit

Public pages must state no escrow, no custody, no legal advice, no tax advice, and no hidden automation where those boundaries matter.

Examples are labeled

Worked examples are separated from live proposals so visitors can learn the format without mistaking examples for liquidity.

Threats are rejected

Baseline integrity rules reject pay-me-or-I-will-do-harm offers and compensation for stopping newly escalated harmful behavior.

Review states

How to read proposal status

Worked example

Illustrative terms only. It can be cloned, but nobody should rely on it as an active agreement.

Draft proposal

A participant-stated proposal that still needs baseline, evidence, safety, and counterparty review.

Evidence submitted

Receipts, logs, attestations, or public statements have been named for reviewer inspection.

Reviewed record

A reviewer has checked the named scope, conflicts, proof uniqueness, and challenge window.

Recourse

When something looks wrong

Challenges, privacy complaints, third-party harms, and safety incidents should enter scoped review lanes. These routes do not mutate live proposal state by themselves; they publish what humans need to review.

Challenge reviewed evidence or baseline

pass

Appeals cover 7 reviewed subject types, 6 standing categories, and 8 human-reviewed outcomes.

Non-guarantees

What the site does not currently promise

  • No objective platform ranking of moral value.
  • No custody, escrow, tax, legal, investment, or payment-protection service.
  • No autonomous scraping, private-feed mining, or surprise counterparty exposure.
  • No claim that bilateral gains eliminate third-party moral externalities.
  • No claim that live marketplace liquidity already exists.

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.
