Loops on the GRAJ protocol. One fee. 195 countries. Join the protocol.
A sale is normally where the record ends. Loops are the mechanisms that keep goods in use after it — repair, resale, trade-in and swap — and each of them is a second margin on inventory that has already been paid for.
Repair and resale extend the life of goods that already exist, which is a real environmental outcome and also the cheapest inventory anyone will ever acquire. Treating it as a sustainability gesture is what keeps it small.
Resale needs provenance, repair needs history, trade-in needs a valuation somebody can trust. All three are the same requirement: knowing what this specific item is and what has happened to it.
Each keeps goods in circulation and each produces a record the next owner can rely on. They differ in who ends up holding the item and whether cash changes hands, and not at all in what has to be recorded.
Designed, not built. The event log that would carry an item's history exists and is append-only; the loop flows on top of it are what remains.
