# ProofSwap

> Give-first social proof exchange for indie developers and SaaS founders.

## What is ProofSwap?

ProofSwap is a free platform where indie developers exchange social proof — tweets, testimonials, video reviews, and app feedback — on a give-first model. You help another founder's project first, which activates your own listing, puts you in front of founders who can give you the proof you need, and earns you a permanent dofollow backlink from your indexed project page.

## How it works

1. Submit your project (name, URL, what proof types you want and can give)
2. Give proof to other projects first (tweet, testimonial, video review, etc.)
3. Your listing goes live the moment you submit that first proof
4. Get matched with founders who can give you the proof you need — receiving proof is free

Free users activate their project by giving one proof; paid plans go live instantly.
Verified proof you give also earns +1 credit, which pays for an additional project listing (the first listing is free).

## Who it's for

- Indie developers and solo founders launching products
- Bootstrapped SaaS teams building credibility
- Makers who need testimonials, tweets, or social mentions but lack an audience

## Exchange types

- Tweet/Post: A public post on X/Twitter promoting your project
- Testimonial: A written endorsement you can display on your site
- Video Review: A video review of your project
- App Feedback: Detailed, actionable feedback on your product
