Common pools neighborhood giving into local projects you can vote on, fund, and watch get built, down to the receipt.
No black box, no overhead games. Every dollar is pooled, voted, and spent in public, with the paperwork to prove it.
Every gift lands in a shared chest with a public balance. Watch the pool fill in real time, no middle layer.
Neighbors propose projects and rank them. The block decides what gets built first, one resident, one vote.
When a project ships, the invoices go up. Lumber, labor, permits, all itemized and timestamped for anyone.

Start a project on your street, or chip into one already open. The chest is shared, the receipts are public, the benches are real.
