The marketplace with no middleman.
Freeport is a decentralized, peer-to-peer marketplace for rides, services and goods — built on Nostr. No company in the middle, no server to run, no commission, no account. Your keys, your price.
Why Freeport
A real peer-to-peer network — not another platform taking a cut and holding your data.
🤝
No middleman
Deal directly with the other person and agree your own price. No platform fee, no surge pricing.
🔑
No sign-up
Your identity is a secure key created on your device — no email, no phone-number account, no password.
💸
Your price
Negotiate openly with a built-in estimator. Zero commission means more stays with you.
🔒
Private by design
Messages are end-to-end encrypted. Listings carry only a coarse, neighborhood-level location — never your exact spot.
🌐
No backend needed
The app has no server of its own — it talks straight to open, public Nostr relays. Nothing for you to host, and no single company can shut it down, censor it, or sell your data.
⭐
Earn reputation
A transparent, peer-rated karma system builds trust between strangers, with no central authority.
How it works
Post or browse, negotiate, done — all between you and the other party.
Post or browse
Request a ride or service, or browse what people nearby are offering.
Negotiate
Offers and counter-offers go back and forth privately until you both agree.
Make the deal
Confirm, swap contact details over an encrypted message, and meet up.
Why Freeport exists
🔬
It's a research project
How far can pure P2P infrastructure go? Buyers, sellers, riders, drivers meet over Nostr, settle in Lightning or cash. Nothing in between needs permission to exist.
📈
It's a thesis
A P2P marketplace with a reputation system works. When people own their reputation, the market self-regulates.
⚖️
It's a check and balance
A zero-fee exit that answers to no one puts a ceiling on how greedy the big platforms can get.
🎈
It's fun
An open protocol, Claude Code as a pair programmer, no investor deck.
🚫
Nobody profits — including me
No operator, no cut. A protocol, not a platform. Run it or fork it.
⚠️
No one will protect you here
That's the point, and the price. No support line, no refunds, no arbiter. Reputation and your own judgment are the whole safety net.
Read the whitepaper
The full protocol: signed intents, encrypted negotiation, co-signed deal receipts, and reputation as a subjective quantity that makes fake identities weightless.
