Problem

Lack of Verifiable on-chain credibility standards

There is no widely adopted on-chain standard for measuring and verifying the credibility of influencers and community participants. Most trust signals are informal, subjective, and cannot be independently verified on-chain.

Reputation is easily manipulated

Influence in Web3 is often driven by social hype, follower counts, and narratives that can be artificially amplified through bots, Sybil accounts, or coordinated manipulation.

Transferable and non-persistent identities

Wallets and social accounts can be created or abandoned with minimal cost, allowing bad actors to reset their identity and reputation without long-term consequences.

Fragmented and off-chain reputation systems

Existing reputation data lives across multiple off-chain platforms and centralized databases, making it non-interoperable and unusable across different decentralized applications.

Lack of accountability and enforcement mechanisms

Without on-chain enforcement, there is no consistent way to penalize malicious behavior or enforce consequences for manipulation, misinformation, or abuse.

Unreliable trust signals for users and protocols

New users and applications lack reliable signals to distinguish credible actors from malicious or low-quality ones, increasing risk and reducing overall trust in the ecosystem.

Sybil attacks undermine social and governance systems

Voting, signaling, and community decisions are vulnerable to Sybil attacks due to the absence of identity-bound and reputation-gated participation.
