Introduction

Tribes is a multiplayer trading app built around people, communities and markets.

These docs explain how Tribes works: how people discover and discuss markets, how trading works, how activity connects to Tribes, how reputation is built, and how features such as Activity Rewards and Tribe Battles are designed to work.

They also document the published mechanics and information behind $TRIBES.

Markets are multiplayer now.

How the docs are organised

• Getting started explains what Tribes is, why we are building it and how the product works.
• Core concepts covers the building blocks of Tribes: Tribes, Scans, Calls, Tribe Trades, profiles and public activity.
• Trading explains your wallet, opening and closing positions, assigning trades to a Tribe, and trading fees.
• Social covers chat, voice, following, friends and token communities.
• Reputation covers verified history, verification, ratings, XP and leaderboards.
• Activity Rewards explains how eligible contributions can be attributed and rewarded.
• Tribe Battles explains how Tribes can compete against each other.
• Token documents the published information about $TRIBES, including its supply, fees, Buyback & Burn, allocation and vesting.
• Security and trust explains what you control, how verification works and what verification does and does not mean.
• Developers is the home for APIs, integrations and developer tools as they become available.

What is final and what is not

The $TRIBES token is live. The Tribes trading app is still in development.

Some parts of the product and its underlying mechanics may continue to evolve before release. When a detail has not yet been published or finalised, we mark it clearly:

Everything that is not yet final is listed in one place: What is not final yet.

These docs do not invent details to fill gaps.

If a number, date, network, provider, contract detail or product mechanic has not been published here, it should not be treated as official.

As Tribes develops, these docs will be updated to reflect the latest published information.
