Ethos

Ethos is a credibility platform that creates a more trusted web3 ecosystem by providing onchain reputation and credibility scores. It allows users to review, vouch for (by staking Ethereum), or slash other participants to build a peer-to-peer system of trust. This data is aggregated into an Ethos Credibility Score to help users understand who to trust and who to avoid in the crypto space.

Description

Ethos is a credibility platform designed to enhance trust and reputation within the web3 ecosystem. It addresses onchain fraud by decentralizing trust through novel mechanisms like reviewing, vouching, and slashing. Users can document and record who can be trusted and who to avoid, with these reputation signals stored onchain. These mechanisms contribute to a unified credibility scoring system, the Ethos Credibility Score, which helps crypto participants assess reputation at a glance. This score can be integrated into any crypto engagement platform, including a Chrome extension for sites like Twitter. The platform is extensible, allowing developers to write reviews, vouches, and slashes directly to Ethos' smart contracts from any interface and even create their own credibility scores.
