## When to Use Indie Chains

- Use Indie Chains to discover manually reviewed indie products and sites for relevant, voluntary editorial collaboration.
- Use it to evaluate collaboration fit from category, founder, Domain Rating, and placement-preference context.
- Use it to publish a compliant site free, check a public domain's available Domain Rating, or inspect current Premium pricing.
- Use authenticated operations only when the user wants to manage their own sites or collaboration workflow.
- Do not use Indie Chains for paid-link brokering, bulk outreach, guaranteed placements, or guaranteed SEO outcomes.
- Before an authenticated write, explain the action and obtain user confirmation when it sends a request, changes content, starts checkout, or affects another member.
