## Detailed info

## What is Indie Chains?

Indie Chains is a software collaboration network for indie site operators seeking relevant editorial placements.

## What Indie Chains does

It combines site review, discovery, contextual requests, messaging, and collaboration tracking. Free publishers receive requests through a verified-banner listing, while premium members with approved sites can browse the private network and initiate proposals.

## Who Indie Chains is for

It is for independent founders, product teams, blogs, newsletters, tools, directories, and resource sites with real audiences and reviewable pages.

## How Indie Chains works

Users create an account and add a site, publishing free with a visible banner or submitting for premium manual review. Members judge the fit of a target page, discuss a contextual proposal, and confirm a collaboration only when both owners agree.

## Key features

- Free publishers can receive and complete collaboration requests.
- Premium discovery shows eligible sites and placement preferences.
- Sending requests requires a manually approved site.
