Per-Transaction Groups

Every other collaboration platform creates permanent connections that accumulate forever. FreedomCore creates networks that dissolve when they are no longer needed.

The Lifecycle

  1. Create — A professional opens a deal. The system generates group txn-2026-0142.
  2. Populate — Nebula certificates are signed for participants: buyer, mortgage broker, notary, appraiser. Each certificate lists the group.
  3. Operate — All participants can reach each other through the group leader’s lighthouse. They share panels, data, documents over the encrypted mesh.
  4. Close — The deal completes. Certificates stop renewing.
  5. Dissolve — Within 24-48 hours, expired certificates make the network unreachable. No manual cleanup needed.
  6. Record — The audit trail remains: who was involved, when certificates were issued and expired, the duration of the engagement.

Certificate Isolation

Root CA (Johnny's office)
├── Alice: ["deal-123-oak", "deal-456-elm"]
├── Bob:   ["deal-123-oak"]
└── Sally: ["deal-789-pine"]

Sally cannot communicate with deal-123-oak peers. Her certificate does not list that group. Nebula enforces this at the crypto layer — packet authentication fails before any data is exchanged. She cannot modify her own certificate without the CA private key.

Alice is in two deals simultaneously. Her traffic for each deal is isolated by group membership. The deals share nothing.

Why Short-Lived Certificates

Certificates are valid for 24-48 hours and auto-renewed while the deal is active. This means:

  • No revocation lists — certificates expire naturally
  • No lingering access — a participant who leaves has access for at most 48 hours
  • No cleanup burden — the system does not accumulate stale permissions
  • Audit by default — every renewal is a record of continued participation

The Connection Table

When a deal closes, the connection table records: “these professionals worked together on this transaction.” Over time, this builds a map of professional relationships that feeds back into the directory. “Alice and Bob have completed 12 transactions together” is a stronger signal than any LinkedIn endorsement.

Beyond Real Estate

The model works for any transaction-based professional collaboration:

  • Legal — case teams that dissolve when the matter closes
  • Accounting — audit teams scoped to the engagement
  • Construction — project teams scoped to the build
  • Immigration — application teams scoped to the case

The infrastructure is generic. Only the recipes and workflows change.
