Hi folks,
Here’s something I’m interested in creating. Looking for collaborators!
The idea is to make human trust into a kind of reputation currency. Enable members of a community to express who they trust and for what specific purposes, so this information becomes visible across a Trust Network.
Rather than a self-contained application, it can be thought of as a micro-service or “widget” that can plug into any dApp in which users have their own continuous identity and public profile.
It’s about taking this vital human capacity we possess to trust one another and multiplying its reach and potency. Users of a Trust Network should recognise that having high levels of trust helps them to actively participate in their community. Every time they add their voice to a discussion, attend a meet-up or collaborate on a new project, their visible reputation as a trusted member of the community will add substance to their contributions and jump-start relationships with people they have never met. By building up trust in their chosen areas of responsibility, people will be empowered to contribute their knowledge, skills and experience. And once people recognise the value in being highly trusted, they will have additional motivation to act in cooperative and pro-social ways in order to gain and maintain the trust of their peers.
