Built with small businesses in Vietnam

Consign1 builds operational systems that fit how your business already works.

PAT is a free business operations software. Consign1 is the company that develops it, configures it around your business workflow, trains your team, and supports the install for 12 months so the PAT system works in your real business, not only in a demo.

Who we are

What is Consign1?

In a changing world, more and more of life happens online — and business is no exception. We noticed that a small number of corporations have a hold on large parts of the digital economy, and smaller businesses are forced to accept their often extortionate terms and prices. Why? Because those corporations have built and protected their own private infrastructure — effectively collecting rent for maintaining what is becoming vital public infrastructure.

Consign1 is a company committed to giving small and medium businesses worldwide a high-quality, highly secure solution for managing business transactions and records digitally — outside of the traditional software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. That solution is the Peer Attested Transaction (PAT) system.

What is the PAT system?

PAT is an under-development, free-to-use transaction management system built on innovative blockchain technology. This is not another cryptocurrency project! Instead of a ledger of tokens, the PAT system is designed to provide users with contracts — cryptographically signable, verifiable, and immutable.

This has trade-offs against traditional models like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but the main advantages of PAT are clear:

Zero transaction feesNo miners, no gas — recording an agreement costs nothing.
Near-instant processingNo global consensus to wait for; actions confirm in moments.
No unrecoverable lossesNo wallets of real money that vanish forever with a lost key.

To do this, PAT enables endless local blockchains rather than one monolithic global chain. 'Tokens' in PAT contracts represent real-world agreed monetary amounts instead of their own abstract value — unaffected by the swings and uncertainty of the cryptocurrency markets.

So far we have designed six core contract types — and we are open to designing more:

A core principle for Consign1 and the PAT development team is equality: a PAT contract should be recognisable and operational globally. Any user, from any site running their own PAT node, should be equally able to find a contract, verify it, and sign it if they want to attest to their participation in a transaction.

Why choose Consign1 & the PAT system?

The practical reasons, without the sales gloss.

Free software, not a subscription

PAT is free to use. You pay Consign1 for expertise — scoping, implementation, training, and support — not a licence that renews forever.

Your records stay yours

Contracts and records live in your own installation, in an open, portable format. If you leave, you take everything with you.

Evidence both sides can trust

Every agreed action is a cryptographically signed, verifiable, immutable record — proof of what was agreed, held by both parties.

No fees, no crypto exposure

Zero transaction fees and near-instant processing. Tokens represent real agreed amounts, untouched by cryptocurrency market swings.

Built around your workflow

Installs are shaped by configuration to fit how your business already runs — and can grow new workflows as it changes.

The honest version

We build useful software and give it away. We make money helping people use it well.

The federation, expertise, and client relationships are how value flows back. The business model does not need to capture every dollar. It needs to be sustainable enough to keep building.
