Community Exchange System

The Community Exchange System (CES) is a digital platform that allows individuals and local groups to trade goods and services without relying solely on traditional money. Instead, users earn and spend a complementary currency or points within a community network, fostering local economic activity and mutual support. It promotes sustainability, local resilience, and community connection by enabling participants to barter and exchange value directly, often emphasizing social relationships over monetary profit. CES helps balance local supply and demand, encourages resource sharing, and strengthens community ties through a structured, accessible online system.
