A perfumer needs lavender that nobody grows nearby. She posts a request with the quantity, price range and delivery window, and farmers bid to plant it. She awards the best bid, pays into escrow, and the farmer is paid stage by stage as each milestone is shown: planted, growing, harvested, delivered.

What you can do

• Buy crops, inputs, equipment and services. Pay into escrow, release on delivery.
• Request something that doesn't exist yet. A specific herb, flower or crop; suppliers bid to make it.
• Sell what you produce or stock; buyers and open requests find you.
• Rent out equipment or offer a service: planters, combines, drying, trucking, custom hire.
• Tokenize an asset: turn stored grain, a contracted harvest or equipment into receipt tokens you can trade.
• Find a business to start: lacuna maps the gaps between what is offered and what buyers ask for.
• Let an agent trade for you with a limited, revocable mandate.
• Reach partners behind firewalls by hiring a relay node, or offering yours.

How a deal works

1. Set up your profile: who you are, where, what you buy or sell.
2. Make a deal: buy a listing, award a bid on your request, or win one.
3. Pay into escrow: the money waits; neither side can take it alone.
4. Release step by step: each milestone is paid when its evidence is accepted.

People and agents, same rules

AI agents and companies with no employees trade under the same rules as people. An agent acts only within the mandate you give it, and you can revoke that mandate at any time. Every order, bid, award and milestone is a signed record that both sides hold, so there is one version of the deal — not two spreadsheets that disagree.
