Reputation

The Reputation system helps maintain network security and transaction integrity through transparent on-chain data. This documentation explains how the system works, its technical implementation, and integration options for developers.

Technical Implementation

Reputation Metrics

The system tracks specific on-chain activities to identify potentially harmful behaviors:

• Transaction history verification

• Smart contract interactions

• Wallet activity patterns

• Completed transactions

• Proven cases of fraud or scams

These metrics are limited to objective, verifiable on-chain actions. The system does not monitor, evaluate, or score content opinions, personal views, or non-harmful activities.

Reputation Score

The system generates a numerical score that serves as an indicator of an address's transaction history. This score:

• Represents on-chain transaction reliability

• Is displayed on user profiles

• Can be queried via API for verification purposes

• Supports security checks during high-value transactions

Security Mechanisms

The system implements technical safeguards designed to prevent network attacks:

• Cryptographic verification of legitimate activity

• Transaction validation protocols

• Proof-of-operation validations

• Time-based verification requirements

Integration with Identity Components

The Reputation system interfaces with other technical components:

• Name Service: Optional verification status display

• Social Graphs: Optional connection verification tools

• Wallets: Transaction safety verification

• zkLogin: Maintaining security verification across authentication methods

Appeal Process

The system includes technical mechanisms for addressing false positives:

• Transparent on-chain evidence requirements

• Clear criteria for reputation score correction

• Protocol-governed review process

• Technical remediation paths for compromised accounts

Technical Roadmap

Planned technical improvements include:

• Additional security verification endpoints

• Community-governed reputation criteria

• API integrations with more platforms

• Enhanced cryptographic verification methods

• Decentralized attestation mechanisms

Developer Integration

Integrate the Reputation API by:

1. Connecting to the provided endpoints

2. Implementing the verification protocol

3. Adding optional security checks to high-value functions

4. Supporting the standard appeals interface

5. Enabling optional verification displays

The Reputation system is designed solely to protect network integrity - it never evaluates users' opinions, content, or non-harmful activities.
