This is not a feature list. It is a window into what a movement built to endure looks like from the inside — what a community of real, vouched men and women can build when they decide to stop renting space on corporate platforms and build their own.
The backbone of the community. Every group, channel, and conversation — encrypted and yours.
End-to-end encrypted 1:1 messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, and disappearing messages. ETC cannot read your messages — by architecture, not just policy.
Create and manage community groups of any size. Standard groups or fully encrypted private groups where even ETC cannot see the content — for those who need true privacy.
One-way broadcast channels for announcements and community updates. Subscribers receive without two-way exposure. Full Member trust required for community-wide broadcasts.
Topic-based community discussions, Q&A threads, and long-form conversations. Searchable archive with member-led moderation. Knowledge that stays in the community.
Device-to-device messaging without internet — short-range mesh networking between nearby ETC members. Critical for emergencies and infrastructure outages.
Community email with disposable address capability — send and receive without exposing your real address. Fully encrypted and private to your ETC identity.
The tools that mean your community shows up when you need them. No waiting. No explaining.
One press. Nearby members alerted instantly with your location. Home screen widget — no login needed in a crisis. Geo-targeted to your set radius. Automatically timestamped and documented.
Geo-targeted alerts reach members in a specific area instantly. Create persistent alert zones for neighbourhoods. Multi-channel delivery — push, SMS fallback, in-app.
Incident reporting, structured witness statements, legal resource library, full case management, and community mobilisation. Documentation with cryptographic timestamping — legally robust.
Privacy-first mapping using MapLibre — not Google. Opt-in location sharing with granular controls, community points of interest, offline map regions, and emergency alert zone overlays.
Biometric and encrypted personal vault for passwords, 2FA codes, sensitive documents, and evidence storage. Emergency access delegation for trusted members. ETC cannot access your vault.
Track incident frequency, response times, coverage gaps, and responder availability. Export signed incident reports for councils, police, or courts. Data to advocate with and improve your network over time.
Trade without extraction. Keep the value in your community.
Unity Pounds for member-to-member trade, LETS credits, time-banking, and barter. Ten payment methods. 0% extraction on community currency trades. Always included free — the foundation, not an add-on.
Buy and sell products, skills, and services with 0% fees on Unity Pounds and LETS trades. Trust-verified sellers only. Direct encrypted messaging between buyer and seller. 1 listing included free.
Community auction listings for goods, services, and surplus. Integrated with Unity Pounds and conventional payment methods. Escrow and dispute resolution built in.
List and find rentals within the community — homes, equipment, vehicles, tools, and accommodation. Trust-verified hosts and renters. Integrated booking, payment, and dispute resolution.
Post and find local volunteering opportunities. Coordinate volunteer teams. Track hours with time-banking integration — your contribution earns credits you can spend within the community.
Track listing performance, enquiry rates, sales history, and revenue across Unity Pounds and conventional payments. Compatible with CRM and marketing tools for Builder tier members.
Learn from people you trust. Share what you know. Build an audience that's real.
Take any community course at base. Create and monetise courses, issue cryptographically signed certificates, build learning paths, and run home education tools with guardian-managed offspring profiles.
Record, publish, and distribute podcasts within the community. Subscriber-only episodes, community RSS feeds, and integration with the community economy for paid subscriptions.
Stream and share music within the community. Community playlists, member-created stations, and direct support for independent artists through Unity Pounds tipping and paid access.
Upload, publish, and share video content within the community — a community-governed alternative to YouTube. Subscriber channels, paid content, and no algorithm deciding who sees your work.
Community wellness and meditation tools — guided sessions from trusted community members, group meditation events, progress tracking, and integration with the community calendar.
A private, encrypted personal journal — readable only by you. Mood tracking, daily entries, and optional sharing of specific entries with trusted members or groups.
Real democratic participation. One man or woman, one vote. Every decision on the record.
Formal proposals, binding votes, consensus and ranked choice mechanisms, community juries for dispute resolution, and committee structures. Constitutional amendments require supermajority. Every decision archived permanently.
Builder-created sub-communities within ETC — similar to Mighty Networks or Circle. Their own membership, their own rules, their own spaces. Builders create and manage; members join by invitation or application.
Create and manage community events, RSVPs, paid ticketing, recurring meetups, and shared community calendars. Integrated with the economy for paid events and time-banking.
Tasks, boards, milestones, and team coordination tools for community projects. Integrate with volunteering, calendar, and the economy to track contribution and reward participation.
A member-edited knowledge base for your community — how-tos, local knowledge, rights information, and community history. Version-controlled and governed by member trust level.
Full case management for ongoing legal, rights, and community situations — tracking evidence, correspondence, outcomes, and involved parties across multiple simultaneous cases. Assign cases to working groups or advisors with full audit trail.
Build a community-facing web presence within ETC — a composable set of pages, content, and tools that function like a website. No separate hosting needed. Gated or public.
For those who want to create, sell, and grow within the community. Builder tier features.
Community relationship management for Builder-tier members. Track your community members, segment by interest or trust level, manage follow-ups, and coordinate outreach — all within ETC's encrypted infrastructure.
Promote your courses, events, products, and services to relevant community members. Target by interest, location, and trust level. No advertising to the open web — your marketing stays within the trusted community.
Comprehensive analytics for Builder members — community growth, engagement, revenue across all modules, event attendance, course enrolments, and marketplace performance.
Connect ETC to your existing tools — accounting software, external booking systems, and third-party services. Builder-tier API for reading and writing community data within your scope.
Resource booking, availability management, appointment scheduling, and rota coordination. Integrated with the calendar and economy for paid bookings.
Add your offspring free under your membership. Age-appropriate access controlled by you. Their accounts grow with them — converting to full membership at 18 with your vouch as their first community introduction.
The from £4/month base membership is not a stripped-down trial — it is a foundation built to carry its own weight. These features are included in every membership — though some, such as governance voting, require a minimum trust level earned through community participation. No module add-on is required for any of these.
ETC follows the natural calendar. Four times a year, founding members gather — face to face — to celebrate what we have built, set the next quarter's priorities, and shape the direction of the community. Think AGM, but one you will actually want to attend.
The first ETC founding member gathering. Governance celebrations, roadmap votes, community connection, and the official launch of member governance.
Founding membersCommunity marketplace fair, learning showcase, governance updates, and celebration of the growing community economy.
Founding membersHarvest gathering — celebrating the year's community economy, trading accomplishments, and preparing for the next development phase.
Founding membersYear-end reflection, governance review, roadmap votes for 2028, and welcoming the milestones of the year together.
Founding membersAs a Private Members Association, ETC is a community of real men and women deciding together what to build — in the digital world and the physical one. These are not features we are delivering to you. They are things we will build together as the community grows and members vote for them.
Land, food growing, saunas, oxygen chambers, and wellness facilities — collectively owned and operated by members. A real place to gather, heal, and grow together. The community votes on location, facilities, and access.
A physical and digital library resource for members — books, reference materials, and educational resources collectively curated and shared. No subscription. No Amazon. Just members sharing knowledge.
A community-run insurance scheme for members' vehicles — pooled risk, member governance, and rates that reflect the trust the community has built rather than anonymous actuarial data.
A community postbox and mail handling service — giving members a trusted address for correspondence, privacy from surveillance, and a physical connection point for the community.
Member-organised health services — nutrition guidance, alternative therapies, fitness coordination, and peer support networks. Built by members who care about health, not corporations that profit from illness.
This list is not exhaustive — it is just where our imagination reaches today. The community will vote on every new initiative. If enough members want it and are willing to build it together, it gets built.
A place to connect. A space to grow. A home you can trust. A future worth building. Choose your use case and join the waitlist. The founding window is currently set to close in late 2026 — after that, monthly membership only, and none of these founding offers will be available again.
