Why Now?

The Moment Before the Shift

Imagine reading this in 2030:

"Remember when we used to pay Airbnb 20%? When Upwork took a cut of every invoice? When we didn't own our data, and AI agents were just lab demos?"

That world is ending. The tools to replace it exist today. Candao is the execution layer that makes the Zero Fee Economy real.
