How it works
01 · Business
Claim your block
Register your Black-owned business, complete quick verification, and choose your block on the Atlanta Grid. Blocks are free with no expiration — but availability is limited, so claim yours before they're gone. Your listing goes live immediately after approval.
02 · Consumer
Discover & support
Browse the map by neighborhood or category. Click any business block to view their storefront, services, and offerings. Sign in with Google or Apple — no wallet needed.
03 · Community
The treasury activates
As businesses join and ad revenue flows in, the community treasury grows. Once it hits its activation threshold, consumer discounts of 5–10% unlock automatically at every participating business — no coupon codes, no apps, no friction.
