Federated Community Infrastructure
Sovereign platforms for communities that connect without centralising. Each village controls its own data. Federation connects them.
What's New
Amberley Carpool Live
The first Village carpool is running on Catalyst NZ infrastructure. Neighbours sharing rides to Christchurch. Next: cross-community federation across Canterbury towns.
Federation Infrastructure
Bilateral agreements, HMAC-authenticated server-to-server communication, six agreement templates, three-tier dispute resolution.
Village Membership + Governance
Two new Village types launched. Membership for professional associations (Circle alternative). Governance for boards and advisory groups (Kāhui Māori live). Federated, sovereign, multilingual.
Built on Transparency
We believe trust is earned through openness. Here's who we are and what we stand for.
We don't sell ads. We don't sell your data. We don't train AI on your stories.
No algorithmic feeds. No tracking. No addiction mechanics.
What Makes Village Different
Features rarely found together
Village Federation
Communities connect through bilateral agreements. Members move between federated Villages without separate accounts. Live between NZ and EU.
Email, Channels, Video
Compose email to members. Named discussion channels. Self-hosted video calls via Jitsi. End-to-end encrypted direct messaging.
Governance & Deliberation
Formal proposal-to-decision workflow. Binding and advisory votes. Resolution tracking. Built for boards, not just communities.
Sovereign AI
Constitutional AI with guardian agents. No data sent to US services. Inference on your infrastructure. EU AI Act compliant.
100+ Languages
Native multilingual via DeepL. Te reo Māori built in. Every label, button, notification — not a translation bolt-on.
API & Webhooks
REST API with key management. HMAC-signed webhook events for member lifecycle, content, and polls. Self-hosted n8n workflow automation.
Villages Don't Stand Alone
Connect with other villages through bilateral agreements. Video call across communities while your data stays in your village.
Family Connections
Your aunt's village in Germany, your cousin's village in New Zealand — connect via video call without leaving your village.
Business Networks
Call suppliers directly, coordinate with partners, brief contractors — all with formal agreements that both parties control.
Community Partnerships
Neighbouring communities sharing resources. Sister city connections across oceans. Regional coordination without centralised control.
Governance Bodies
A governance board federated with its community Village. Board members move between formal decision-making and member engagement without separate accounts.
Membership Organisations
Professional associations and networks that need everything Circle offers — without the US data residency or broad content licences.
Community Carpools
Amberley's carpool runs on Catalyst NZ. When neighbouring towns join, riders see offers across communities — federation with real transport outcomes.
