Exchange Ave

Where the
networks are

Exchanges are running and being built across the Pacific, the Caribbean, the Southwest, and the diaspora. Each one is independently governed. All of them run the same engine, which is what lets a corridor open between any two of them.

Who runs
a network

Every node has named stewards — people accountable to the community, not to us. Stewards approve members, set the network's categories and limits, open corridors to other nodes, and answer for how the exchange is going.

Exchange Ave supplies the engine, the onboarding, and the shared standard. What a network circulates, how it settles disputes, and who belongs to it are decisions that stay inside the community. That division is the whole arrangement, and we hold it firmly.
