Documentation

Welcome to the barter.game documentation. Start here to understand the protocol, then explore the sections tailored to your role.

Quick links

• Ethos — The beliefs behind every design decision, and what we deliberately refuse to build.
• How it works? — The big idea, then a step-by-step walkthrough of a trade.
• Protocol contract (invariant) — The wire-format spec. Read this if you’re building an implementation.
• Reference bank server — Routes, DynamoDB key-space, config, and deployment. How the reference team built it; change anything here.
• Reference web client — The browser SPA the bank serves: keystore model, screens, transports.
