Deals in Discord. Backed by a signed contract.

Usually yes: it is enough for all parties to sign it with an electronic signature. Exact requirements depend on your country. Details: Terms, 5.5.

The signature type depends on your country.

Ukraine

Qualified Electronic Signature (QES): Diia.Signature or an accredited provider

European Union

Qualified Electronic Signature (QES): a qualified trust service provider (eIDAS)

United States

Electronic Signature / E-Signature: an e-signature provider

Signing starts in Discord. You sign with an electronic signature from a provider of your choice: in its app (for example, by scanning a QR code in Diia) or on its page, which opens without closing Discord. PactKeeper does not sign for you; your provider verifies your identity.

The parties keep the full contract text themselves: after signing, each of them downloads the signed file. PactKeeper stores only Discord nicknames and the deal terms (amount, deadline, status). Only the hash of the text goes on the blockchain.

Only the SHA-256 hash of the final signed text — in the beta, on the Solana devnet test network. The contract text and other deal data never go on-chain. If you pay in crypto (coming later), the amount and wallet addresses of the transaction are public, as on any blockchain.

No. PactKeeper is a software tool (Discord app) for creating, signing and recording deals. PactKeeper is not a party to your contract, a law firm or a bank, and does not give legal advice. Pact Protection (coming later) is reviewed at PactKeeper's discretion under the Protection Rules.

In the beta, only test payments on the Solana devnet test network, with test tokens that have no value. Planned:

Crypto · Solana Pay

USDC, EURC, SOL or another SPL token you agree on. Escrow, staged or full payment.

Bank transfer · Card

A direct transfer between the parties in any currency you agree on. Direct or staged payment.

We never hold your funds or private keys. Payments go directly between the parties' wallets. Escrow is not part of the beta; we will announce its model before launch.

You need a wallet only for crypto payments (in the beta, test tokens on devnet). A contract without payment needs no verification by us: your signature provider confirms your identity.

When creating a deal, the parties choose how fulfilment is confirmed: by a data service, by both parties (“Complete deal”), or both. In the beta, the only data service is the compliance check based on a file you upload. Other sources, such as delivery status, GitHub or bank payments, are coming later.

A confirmation from a data service is evidence, not a final decision on your rights. Each party can object within the period set in the deal, or both can confirm fulfilment themselves.

A public, versioned set of measurable rules. Each version has a fixed hash, so the deal always refers to exactly the same rules.

No. The compliance check works without any payment.

Only the CSV export needed for the selected clauses, with aggregated campaign data — no personal data of your customers. The raw file is deleted right after the report is created; the report is kept as part of the deal.

No. It is an automated comparison of data with the standard. It is not an audit, certification or legal advice.

Reportator, together with experts from the community.

After fulfilment is reported, each party may object within the period set in the deal (72 hours by default). If you chose confirmation by a data service only and nobody objects in time, the deal is deemed performed. Otherwise, if nobody confirms or objects in time, the deal is marked as disputed. When both parties click “Complete deal”, the deal closes. See Terms, 9.3.

Recommended order: negotiation under your contract → Pact Protection (coming later) → review by community specialists (in development) → court. You can go to court at any time; the signature and hash make it easier to prove the contract but are not required. See Terms, 10.

The signed contract file that each party keeps (we check it against the hash) and the compliance report saved in the deal history. Parties can add their own proof to the deal at any time: receipts and statements, photos and videos, delivered files, messages about the deal. How evidence is assessed depends on the stage: the Protection Rules for Pact Protection (coming later), the law of your country in court.

The terms of your contract apply: use the deadline and cancellation terms you agreed, then negotiation or court. Escrow, where the money is returned if work does not start, is coming later.

A deal takes effect only after all parties sign. An unsigned deal can be cancelled by any party and is cancelled automatically after 72 hours.

Pact Protection is an optional review programme that is coming later. It is not available in the beta, and deals created in the beta are not covered even after launch. Once launched, it can be chosen only when creating a deal. Any compensation is granted at PactKeeper's discretion: it is not insurance and creates no legal claim to payment. Details: Protection Rules.

Once launched, the decision is based on the contract terms fixed by the hash, data from the agreed data service, and the evidence the parties added to the deal. The process, timelines and criteria are set out in the Protection Rules. PactKeeper's decision does not limit the parties' right to go to court.

A way to resolve disputes where verified specialists from the community (for example, in development, design or finance) review the case, similar to a DAO vote. It is in development and not available in the beta. The rules will be published before launch. It does not limit your right to go to court.

The closed beta is free for testers. Pricing, fees and the cost of Pact Protection will be announced before the public launch.
