Commenda

Introducing Commenda – The Future of Self‑Sovereign Commerce The open web was meant to be a universal marketplace, but today it’s riddled with data‑harvesting ads, walled‑garden platforms, and opaque middlemen that choke entrepreneurship. Commenda flips that script. Imagine a assistant‑based browser that lets merchants sell directly to customers—no permissions, no trackers, no gatekeepers. Powered by the battle‑tested Message Layer Security (MLS) for end‑to‑end confidentiality, the Agentic Commerce Protocol for seamless product promotion, and Nostr for transport, Commenda binds every participant—people, organizations, and products—to self‑sovereign identifiers and verifiable events. Why Commenda matters Permission‑less, cryptographically secure: Every interaction is signed, encrypted, and anchored in MLS, guaranteeing privacy and forward secrecy. Dual‑commit credit model: Buyers issue e‑Bills (promises to pay) while sellers issue vouchers (promises for goods). Both live in the same MLS‑protected state, eliminating the classic buyer‑risk asymmetry. Game‑theoretic guarantees: A rigorously designed finite‑state machine makes the honest‑completion path the unique Nash equilibrium—any deviation hurts the deviator. Models at scale: With local inference, the workflow orchestration stays on‑device, preserving data sovereignty. Smart Legal Contracts: A lightweight contract framework extending MLS, registers e‑Bills and vouchers, and settles payouts automatically based on a transparent payoff formula. What you’ll see Discovery – Sellers broadcast offers via Nostr, signed and encrypted with MLS. Join & Offer – Buyers receive a personalized checkout session, and accept the offer. Dual‑Commit – An e‑Bill and a voucher are simultaneously minted, recorded, and anchored. Payment – Pay with on‑chain money or redeem the voucher instantly—no third‑party processors. Delivery & Settlement – The assistants support participants to drive the transaction to completion, while payoffs and funds move automatically. The vision A truly open‑web marketplace where identity, discovery, and settlement are self‑sovereign, verifiable, and free from centralized intermediaries. Commenda gives merchants the tools to protect trade secrets, retain instant liquidity, and enforce legal certainty—all while keeping every byte of data under the user’s control.
