Why It Matters
- 01Traditional reputation systems are siloed: LinkedIn reputation doesn't transfer to GitHub, which doesn't transfer to DeFi. Onchain reputation networks break these walls.
- 02Reputation propagation enables trust to flow from established relationships to new ones — the same way human reputation works in physical communities.
- 03Financial applications of reputation — undercollateralized lending, preferential access, risk-adjusted pricing — represent a multi-trillion dollar opportunity.
- 04The network effects of reputation systems are extraordinarily strong. The protocol that becomes the reputation standard will be nearly impossible to displace.
