records people can point at
Local Proof Cards
Screenshot-native records for asks, offers, pledges, references, and decisions.
A Local Proof Card is a small, readable record you can keep. It can describe what someone needs, what someone offers, what a group agreed to, what a project is asking for, or what insight should be remembered.
The card stays useful as a screenshot, a copied seed, a link, or a later archived record. No wallet required. No platform lock-in required. The first version is local, readable, and shareable.
What A Card Does
A card makes a claim. A screenshot preserves it. A URL or seed lets someone revisit it. A later version can supersede it.
These are NFT-like in the narrow sense that each card is a distinct object with its own context. They are not speculative assets. They are local records first.
Card Types
Ask Card
We need $___ by ___ for ___.
Offer Card
I can provide ___ for ___.
Pledge Card

Consensus Card
This is what the group currently agrees to.
Reference Card
This insight, source, or decision should be easy to cite later.
Membership Card
This person wants to join as observer, supporter, contributor, or collaborator.
Keep The Record Honest
A card is not proof that a claim is true. It is proof that a claim was made in a readable form at a specific moment.
If a card changes, make a new version. Do not silently overwrite the record.
Screenshot To Consensus
Consensus does not mean everyone agrees forever. It means the group has a visible reference point for what is being proposed, supported, questioned, blocked, revised, or archived.
Draft
A proposal exists. No agreement yet.
Supported
Enough people support moving forward.
Concerned
People agree partly but have notes.
Blocked
Someone names a concrete reason not to proceed.
Revised
A new version replaces the old one.
Archived
No longer active, but preserved.
Screenshot the card before the conversation spreads out. The card gives the group one thing to point at.
