About walnut.world

The front page of the open internet.

What this is

walnut.world is a general-purpose listing marketplace. Anyone can list anything — tools, plugins, skills, MCP servers, capsules, datasets, games, sites, services. If you made something and want people to find it, this is where it goes.

Think of it as a community-curated directory. Listings are ranked by the community through upvotes and downvotes. The best stuff rises. The rest is still findable. Nothing gets buried by an algorithm optimizing for engagement.

The thesis

walnut.world is a discovery layer, not a payment processor. We never sit between buyer and seller. If you're selling something, you bring your own payment link — Stripe, Gumroad, Solana, a PayPal button, whatever you want. When someone clicks “Buy,” they go directly to you.

This means we never hold your money, never take a cut of your sale, and never have a reason to lock your listing behind payment verification. You handle fulfillment. We handle discovery.

How moderation works

We use a three-tier moderation system:

Tier 1 — Legal

Content that is illegal in the United States is removed immediately and without appeal. This includes CSAM, credible threats, doxxing, and copyright infringement with a valid DMCA notice.

Tier 2 — Community Notes

Listings can receive community notes — contextual annotations written by users and surfaced when raters who normally disagree both find the note helpful. Notes don't remove listings. They add context. Learn how the algorithm works.

Tier 3 — Fraud

Listings that exist to deceive — fake products, impersonation, vote manipulation, spam rings — are delisted. This is the only subjective call we make, and we aim to make it rarely.

The open contract

Your listing stays up unless you're gaming the system or breaking the law. Community Notes algorithm is open source. That's the deal.

We will never remove a listing because we don't like it, because a competitor complained, or because it doesn't fit our aesthetic. The only reasons for removal are enumerated above: illegal content, or fraud. Everything else stays.
