SCROLL

§ 02 — The Problem

Three structural failures.

The peptide industry today operates on a fragile stack. The market is large, the demand is durable, the rails are wrong.

01 / Payments

Processor risk

Vendors are routinely deplatformed by Stripe, PayPal, and traditional banks. A working storefront can vanish overnight, taking customer trust with it.

02 / Trust

Opaque reputation

Reviews live on Reddit, Telegram, and forum threads. They're gamed, deleted, and impossible to verify. New buyers have no signal.

03 / Discovery

Fragmented supply

Vendors compete on isolated websites with no shared standards for COA, batch tracking, or pricing transparency. Buyers shop blind.

None of these problems are solved by another website. They are solved by moving the trust layer, the payment layer, and the reputation layer onto a public ledger — where every action is verifiable and every participant has skin in the game.

§ 03 — The Solution

One protocol. Three primitives.

Each primitive fixes a specific failure of the legacy peptide market. Together, they form a complete commerce layer — a closed economic loop.

/ 01

Vendor Registry

Identity, secured by stake.

Every vendor is a registered on-chain identity. Listing requires $PDAO stake, locked for tenure. Misconduct is slashable via DAO vote. Honest operation accrues reputation.

/ 02

Escrowed Settlement

Sub-second, trustless, final.

Buyers fund a program-controlled PDA in SOL or USDC. Funds release on confirmed delivery. Disputes go to structured on-chain arbitration. No chargebacks. No reversals.

/ 03

On-chain Reputation

Earned, not posted.

Every transaction emits an event. Reviews are tied to verified purchases — wallets that didn't pay can't post. A vendor's score is derived, not declared.

§ 04 — Order Lifecycle

Atomic. Trustless. Final.

Three terminal states: settle, refund, dispute. No human custody at any point in the flow.

01Place

Buyer funds escrow

Order details and shipping commitment hash submitted on-chain. SOL or USDC enters the program-derived escrow address.

peptidao.escrow.place_order({
  vendor: vendorPubkey,
  product_id: "bpc-157-5mg",
  amount: 42_000_000, // USDC 6dp
  shipping: shippingHash,
})

02Accept

Vendor accepts

Order moves to FULFILLING. Vendor commits to processing within the protocol-defined SLA.

peptidao.escrow.accept_order(orderId)

03Ship

Vendor ships

Tracking commitment recorded. Buyer is notified; the chain holds the receipt.

peptidao.escrow.mark_shipped(
  orderId,
  trackingHash,
)

04Settle

Buyer confirms

Funds release atomically. 97% to vendor, 2% to treasury, 1% to the reputation pool. Settlement finality matches Solana's.

peptidao.escrow.confirm_delivery(
  orderId,
)
// → 97% vendor / 2% tsy / 1% rep

§ 05 — Network

The economics of moving off fiat rails.

Solana is the only chain where every step of the buyer flow — registry lookup, escrow funding, settlement, review — costs less than a stamp.

§ 06 — Architecture

The full stack.

Four layers, top to bottom: interfaces, SDK, on-chain programs, supporting infrastructure. Each layer is independently upgradable and open for third-party integration.

Phase 3 / x402

Agentic peptide commerce.

HTTP 402 enables AI shopping agents to pay PeptiDAO vendors directly using x402-compliant headers. No human checkout. No friction.

Phase 3 / wXRP

Wrapped XRP via Wormhole.

§ 08 — Roadmap

Build cadence.

Four phases. Two years from launch to founder-keys-burned. Each phase is a discrete shipping milestone, not a vague aspiration.

Phase 01Q2 2026
Launch
$PDAO deploys on pump.fun. Landing page live. Marketplace shell with vendor browse and connect-wallet flow. Initial community on X and Telegram.
Phase 02Q3 2026
Marketplace v1
On-chain vendor registry. Escrow program audited and live. Full buyer-side checkout. On-chain reviews tied to verified purchases. First 25 vendors onboarded.
Phase 03Q4 2026
Protocol expansion
x402 integration enables agentic and machine-to-machine peptide commerce. wXRP support added via Wormhole. SDK opened for third-party builders.
Phase 04Q1 2027
Full DAO handoff
Treasury operations, vendor approvals, and protocol parameters all transitioned to on-chain governance. Founding team retains no admin keys.

§ 09 — FAQ

Frequently asked. Mostly already answered on-chain.

Everything below is documented in the litepaper and the public Solana programs. Read the source.

Neither, in the traditional sense. PeptiDAO is a neutral protocol layer. Vendors operate independent storefronts using shared on-chain primitives. We do not take inventory, set prices, or handle physical product at any point.

§ 10 — Join

Route around the broken stack.

Connect a Solana wallet. Browse vendors. Place an order. The protocol takes care of the rest — atomically and finally.
