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.
What's inside
A full marketplace toolkit — self-custodial, encrypted, and yours. The newest pieces are opt-in: flip them on under Settings → Experimental.
⚡
Built-in Lightning wallet
Self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning + USDT wallet, derived from your Nostr key — one backup covers identity and funds. Your own lightning address, QR pay, and one-tap Pay on confirmed deals.
💬
Encrypted chat & calls
1:1 encrypted chat with voice messages, reactions, disappearing messages and in-chat payments — plus peer-to-peer audio/video calls with no call server in the middle.
🛡️
Escrow without a custodian
Conditional Lightning payments (HODL invoices) on confirmed deals. The protocol enforces the lock — nobody ever holds the money in between, and unreleased funds auto-refund.
🧩
Mini-apps
Third-party web apps run inside Freeport with your portable identity and wallet — sandboxed behind a permission firewall where every sensitive action needs your approval. Add any app by URL or QR.
🏪
Shops & zaps
Durable seller storefronts with a conversational checkout, and Lightning zap tipping on posts with verifiable receipts.
🤖
On-device AI
Describe what you need in any language and it drafts your post; incoming messages auto-translate. Runs entirely on your device — your words never leave it.
📣
Telegram bridge
Market feeds in your Telegram groups, one-tap broadcast of group posts to the open network, and personal pings when something needs you.
🌍
Runs everywhere, speaks everything
iOS, Android, web, and desktop apps — plus the whole app as a single offline HTML file. 56 languages with full right-to-left support.
🔓
Open source, made to fork
MIT-licensed, no investor deck. Any community can stand up its own market — own name, city, relays — by changing configuration, not architecture.
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.
