PAT — PEOPLE. ART. TRADERS.
A community where people offer their labour, skills, ART and products for sale.
PATizens can buy, sell or trade with each other and sell to the public via one profile.
1. Become a PATizen
Your PATizen profile shows who you are, the services you offer, and what you have for sale.
Your personal profile acts as your portal within PAT — advertising your services, goods, art and proof of completed work.
2. Exchange value
PATizens can work for each other, buy, sell and trade goods, ART and services.
PATizens can also advertise their work and sell to the public via PAT.
3. Reputation Through Proof
PAT doesn't rely on star ratings or public comment sections.
Reputation grows through real people, real work and visible proof.
When a PATizen records completed work, it becomes part of their Proof of Work. If they later advertise related goods or services through PAT, that advertisement can link directly back to the proof behind it.
So someone considering an offer can follow the trail:
Advertisement → Proof of Work → PATizen → the people and transactions behind the work.
Where appropriate, another PATizen involved in that work can also provide a real human reference.
Less anonymous commentary. More evidence. More accountability.
4. Record the value
When value is created but isn’t completely settled, the remaining amount can be recorded on the PAT Ledger. Regardless, PAT becomes a place to record proof of work.
5. Create a PAT Voucher
An eligible claim backed by completed work can become a PAT Voucher that can be sold or transferred to someone else, and redeemed at a later date.
6. Keep the proof
The original transaction remains on the PAT Ledger, providing a record of where the value came from and how it is progressing.
