Zonk.
One platform.
Four capabilities.
In private beta · launching 2026
Zonk is the foundation's primary technology program — a closed, member-verified platform that brings the Ranger community's connection, commerce, and giving under one roof. No ads. No data sold. No outside algorithm.
02Zonk
Chat
Direct messages and group rooms on a Matrix/Synapse server the foundation operates. No third party can read your messages. Channels persist across deployments, unit moves, and PCS.
03Zonk
Marketplace
Veteran- and Ranger-owned businesses can sell directly to the community — coffee, gear, leatherwork, training. Built on Medusa and Stripe. The foundation charges zero platform fee.
04Zonk
Giving
One-time and recurring donations via Stripe Checkout, with a public ledger of where every dollar goes. Members can also tip marketplace sellers and contribute to family-specific funds.
