Trinary Exchange - EVE Frontier Marketplace
Once the basics of EVE Frontier start to click, players are left with an inevitable next question:
>So I keep starting and doing the basic tutorial, making some fuel… what do I do next? Am I meant to jump between systems to try to find something? I’m a bit lost.
What do I do now?
One of the things that makes EVE Frontier interesting is that it doesn't really prescribe an answer. The Frontier is there to be shaped by its players. Explore rifts, hunt feral drones, mine resources, manufacture, trade, build, organize — or find something entirely different.
But once players start finding their own path, another question emerges:
How do those activities connect with each other?
What if a player wants to specialize in mining and become a supplier? Sell what they produce? Buy materials from other players? Start trading? Pool resources with their tribe? Build an actual business?
That’s the part of EVE Frontier I’m interested in building.
Trinary Exchange is built around that idea: giving players the infrastructure to turn those individual activities into an economy.
What You Can Do Today
Player-Owned Marketplaces
Browse items, see live buy or sell orders, execute trades, manage inventory, and track trade history on the EVE Frontier marketplace.. Trades run through code - no custodian or middleman.
Organizations & Trading - Create an organization for your EVE Frontier tribe with its own treasury, roles, permissions, and governance. Officers can manage day-to-day operations and trade on behalf of the organization. More sensitive actions can require multiple approvers.
Trading on Behalf of Your Organization
Organizations can bootstrap markets. Officers can manage deposits and withdrawals or run trading operations without giving everyone access to the organization’s treasury. For more security - admins have their own separate treasury with different security concerns.
Role-Based Shared Storage
Give different groups different permissions over shared Storage Units. Access can be delegated and revoked as your organization changes.
Encrypted Location Sharing
Share sensitive storage unit and gate locations with your organization without broadcasting them to the rest of the galaxy. The data is end-to-end encrypted - not even I can decrypt it.
The bigger idea
I want EVE Frontier to develop the kind of player-driven economy that makes EVE Online's player stories so compelling.
As a player, I should be able to choose what I want to do.
Explore. Gather. Manufacture. Trade. Specialize. Broker. Organize. Build an operation around supplying something other players need.
A player who makes fuel can sell it.
A miner can sell ore.
A manufacturer can buy materials and sell finished goods.
An organization can pool resources and run its own trading operation.
And those activities create new reasons to interact with other players:
markets to compete in, businesses to build, supply chains to control, and eventually things worth fighting over.
That's the economy I want to help build.
What's next
- Developer SDKs & APIs for building on the underlying organization, storage, trading, and access-control primitives.
- Deeper organization tooling with richer voting and organizational workflows.
- Expanded market data including historical fills, price discovery, trade flows, and economic dashboards.
The economic layer is live, but it's the players who will shape it.
What do you want to build? What do you want to trade? What kind of organization do you want to run? What's missing?
Let's rebuild civilization in the Trinary together. o7
