Plaza is a trust layer for finding collaborators. It turns public GitHub proof-of-work and stated availability into a single structured signal that answers three questions about any potential collaborator: are they credible, are they open to collaborating right now, and is it safe to contact them?

How does Plaza verify that a builder is credible?

You sign in with GitHub, anchoring identity to your work graph. LinkedIn sign-in is not built yet. A Trust Score is then composed from verified activity — real commit history and ownership evidence — not self-declared claims.

How does matching work?

Plaza matches collaborators by meaning, not keywords, using semantic embeddings of skills, projects and needs. Every recommendation comes with a human-readable Match Reason — no match is ever shown without explaining why.

Will Plaza spam my inbox?

No. Contact is controlled — it can only be initiated through a structured collaboration request, and raw contact details are never exposed. It is built to eliminate cold-DM spam.

How much does Plaza cost and when can I use it?

Plaza is in early access development. Join the waitlist and we'll email your invite when it opens — no charge to register interest.

How does Plaza verify people?

Plaza uses a dual-source trust gateway — GitHub proof-of-work and LinkedIn identity — and builds a Trust Score from verified activity, not self-declared claims. Every match comes with a human-readable reason.
