The internet still has people in it.
Under the generated filler and the engagement bait there are still people who make things, know things, and mean what they say. Tuath is built for them. Ask a real question and get an answer from someone who has actually been there. Post what you think without feeding a machine that earns more when you're angry or insecure. Commission work and know a person made it. Everyone here proved they were human once, and has been staking their good name on it ever since — not because we assume the worst of you, but because it's what makes the rest possible.
Why we're here
A person wrote it, answered it, or drew it, and chose to. That used to go without saying. Keeping it true now takes real work — proving you're a person once at the door, and a community that cares enough to check what gets posted in its name.
The advice of someone who has actually experienced it. An opinion from a person who'll still stand behind it tomorrow. Work with an artist's hand visible in it. None of that scales, and that is exactly the point.
Not wages, not a job, not a grind for an algorithm. You contribute the work you're genuinely good at and spend what it earns on the things you're not — the contract you can't read, the fault you can't find. Your standing rises when you're worth listening to and falls when you're not, and it belongs to you rather than to an employer or a platform.
Products
Ask someone who's been there.
The question you'd never trust to a chatbot, answered by a person who has actually lived it. Peers judge whether the answer holds up, and the community pays for the effort. Free to ask; add a bounty when it really matters.

Every account here is a person who proved it. What rises is what people genuinely found worth reading — not what an algorithm farmed out of them, and not what a thousand accounts were paid to agree on.
Learn more →Commission a person, not a prompt.
Work made by an artist you can talk to, minted as theirs before anyone passes judgement on it. You know a person made it. They know they'll be paid.

How the community keeps its own standard. Calls are made by Brehons — peers who stake their own standing on getting it right — and a contested one goes to a Dáil of Ard-Brehons.

Every product repo is public under AGPL-3.0. Read it, run it, fork it. If someone builds a competing service on this code, the licence requires they share their changes back — which is the point: this is meant to outlive us, and it should be possible to leave and take it with you.
Roadmap
Once 10,000 verified people hold 100 or more Enech, the economics — payout rates, splits, everything an admin can touch today — move to a vote weighted by standing rather than by how much of the token you hold.
We'll write to you when it opens. Everyone who joins in the first week starts at 25 standing instead of 5 — enough to answer a bountied question on your first day, rather than working up to it. Not a discount. A head start on the only thing here that counts.
Where the name comes from
A tuath was a people who governed themselves — not a territory, not a company, and not anyone's subjects. Their law worked on standing: what your word was worth was a real, reckonable quantity that rose and fell with how you behaved, and disputes went to brehons, who were jurists chosen for judgment rather than lords who owned the outcome. We took the ideas because they already describe what we are building. We are not asking anyone to dress up.
