Frequently Asked Questions

Is CommonPact an application?

No. It is a protocol proposal and profile framework.

Is it one marketplace for rides, rentals, delivery, and donations?

No. A multi-profile client is possible, but one super-app is not required.

Does it eliminate all middlemen?

No. It removes the mandatory platform owner at the protocol layer. Payment, insurance, identity, moderation, support, escrow, and dispute providers may remain useful or required.

Is it peer-to-peer?

The agreement is directly between parties and no central platform is authoritative. Delivery may still use internet relays or servers.

Is it a Bluetooth mesh?

No. Nearby networking may help verification and outages. Citywide discovery should initially use replaceable internet infrastructure.

Is it like email?

Conceptually: different clients and providers interoperate through shared standards. CommonPact must also learn from email's spam, metadata, and concentration problems.

Does CommonPact charge a commission?

No protocol commission is required.

Can applications charge?

Yes, for transparent optional services.

Is PactRide dependent on CommonPact?

No. PactRide remains self-contained. Alignment requires an adapter or explicit future version.

Are the other profiles finished?

PactRental is a detailed draft. PactDelivery and PactFund are candidate concepts.

Is CommonPact production-ready?

No. It is a pre-implementation research RFC.
