Long, long, long term, if I get really lucky, your TrustChain becomes portable proof of your human-ness. Any site that integrates with us could verify you're a real accountable human without you ever disclosing your real identity. That

Founder here. The core mechanic: every invite creates a lineage edge. When you invite someone, their trust signals propagate back up the chain. If they behave badly, your TrustRank takes a hit. This is the opposite of how most platforms han

Well you definitely understand it at least. But here's the rebuttal... The same logic applies to hiring someone, or vouching for a colleague, friction creates care. You only invite people you actually trust. So I'd say, that'
