What is Pelagora?

A mesh network for commerce

Not an app. Not a platform. A protocol layer that lets you build any commerce experience on a decentralized network of Beacons.

Beacons

Each node on the network is a Beacon — a lightweight server you run on your machine. Your data stays yours. You choose what to share.

Peer Discovery

Beacons find each other via DHT — no central registry. Connect to the mesh and browse what others have listed using Schema.org data.

Skills

Extend your Beacon with modular Skills — reverse auctions, rental managers, group buys. Build your own or install from the community.

Get Started

Three steps to your first Beacon

Hand the Skill to your AI agent. It handles the rest.

Grab the Skill

Download SKILL.md and give it to your AI agent — Claude, Cursor, Copilot, whatever you use. It contains everything your agent needs to get you set up.

Spin Up a Beacon

Your AI runs the CLI installer, creates your Beacon, and connects you to the Pelagora mesh. It also sets up the MCP server so your agent can browse and create listings.

Build Your App

Your Beacon is live. Now build on it — a surfboard rental shop, a local marketplace, a reverse auction platform. The network handles discovery. You handle the experience.

What Can You Build?

Your commerce, your rules

Pelagora is the network. What you build on it is up to you.

⚖

Peer-to-Peer Marketplace

List items, negotiate offers, trade directly. No middleman fees, no platform lock-in. Your listings live on your Beacon.

⛵

Rental Network

Rent out surfboards, cameras, tools — anything. Availability, pricing, and booking all managed from your Beacon.

✳

Group Buy Coordinator

Aggregate demand across the mesh. Buyers pool together, hit a threshold, unlock bulk pricing. The Skill handles the logic.
