Collateral Communications

First contact
that means something.

Lock ADA on the Cardano blockchain with your contact request. Proof of genuine intent — not a cold call, not spam. Something real at stake.

Send a Contact How it works

The mechanism

Three steps. One signal.

No forms. No gatekeepers. A blockchain-native way to say your contact is worth someone's time — and to prove it.

01 · Sender
Lock collateral

Connect your Cardano wallet, enter the recipient's phone number and the amount of ADA you're willing to put up. Sign the transaction. Your collateral is locked on-chain.

02 · Recipient
Receive the contact

The recipient gets an SMS with a secure link. They see who sent it, how much is locked, and what it's for. No wallet required. No account to create.

03 · Resolution
Accept or decline

Accept — the ADA returns to the sender, minus a small protocol fee. Decline — the collateral is forfeited. Either way, the signal was real.


In practice

The right contact finds willing soil.

"The agency that backs its first contact with collateral isn't just making a call — it's making a statement."
Real Estate · Professional Services · Recruitment

Cold outreach is cheap. That's why it's ignored. Collateral Communications changes the economics of first contact — turning a costless intrusion into a genuine signal.


A real estate agent locking 10 ADA to reach a potential vendor is doing something no letterbox drop or robocall can replicate. They're saying: my contact is worth your time, and I'll put something real on it.


The economics

Skin in the game.

The collateral is not a fee — it's a bond. It returns to the sender if the contact is accepted. It's only lost if the recipient declines.

Contact accepted
ADA returns to sender

Minus a 1% protocol fee. The contact was genuine. The sender is rewarded with the response they sought.

Contact declined
ADA is forfeited

The recipient's time was worth something. A real cost to the sender — a real filter against noise.

No response / expires
ADA returns automatically

After 3 days, the contact expires on-chain and collateral returns to the sender in full.
