What the Indie Chains community says.
“If you are a solo founder trying to grow your site, IndieChains is worth a look. It connects you with other builders to collaborate on backlinks and build authority together, which beats grinding through cold emails on your own. Genuinely useful if you have been putting off SEO.”
“Great idea!”
Why it works
Link building feels safer when every site has a reason to be there.
How it works
01
Submit your site
Add your project and send it through manual review. Every site gets checked before it can send or receive collaboration requests.

Quality standard
Manual review keeps the network useful.
Indie Chains is not an open list of sites. Each project needs a real operator, a reviewable page, and a reason another founder would want the placement.

Manual review

Ahrefs DR review
Domain Rating is reviewed as a quality signal, not as a shortcut around editorial judgment.

Requests need a clear reason to exist on the target page, resource, review, or mention.
Clean outbound behavior
The network is built for useful placements, not bulk swaps, link farms, or generic lists.
Founder access
Start with one useful page. Build links that make sense.

FAQ
Short answers about pricing, review, site quality, and how requests work.
What do I get with membership?
Subscription access to Indie Chains software, plus one guaranteed article published on Indie Chains and one on Tenta's personal page. Approved members can discover relevant sites, send contextual collaboration requests, use messaging, and benefit from ongoing moderation.
Will my entry price stay locked?
Yes. Your public entry price stays locked while that subscription remains active. If you cancel and later rejoin, the then-current public price applies.
Can anyone join the network?
You can subscribe, but sites still go through manual review before they can participate in link requests.
What makes this different from spammy link exchanges?
Indie Chains is built around approved sites, relevant opportunities, and founder-to-founder requests instead of bulk outreach or generic placements.
Is a higher DR guaranteed?
No. Domain Rating is not guaranteed. Ahrefs considers many signals, and outcomes depend on who you collaborate with, the quality and relevance of the content, the pages involved, existing link profiles, and other factors outside Indie Chains' control.
Do I need an approved site to send requests?
Yes. Paid access lets you enter the network, but sending requests requires at least one approved site so every request has a real project behind it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. If you cancel, your paid network access ends according to the subscription status, and you can rejoin later at the then-current public price.
What kind of sites are a good fit?
Indie SaaS products, useful directories, blogs, newsletters, tools, and resource pages with real audiences and clear editorial quality.
