Question 1

What does TrustLayer Protocol do?

Accepted Answer

TrustLayer Protocol is a decentralized human trust layer. It lets people prove they are unique humans using wallet signatures and peer-to-peer attestations, then exposes a verifiable Trust ID and reputation score that any app can check.

Question 2

Does TrustLayer hold user funds or private keys?

Accepted Answer

No. TrustLayer Protocol is fully non-custodial. Identity keys live only in the user's browser, and the protocol never requests transfers, seed phrases, or private keys.

Question 3

How is a Trust ID verified?

Accepted Answer

Each Trust ID is backed by signed proof JSON. The verifier page cryptographically validates the signatures (EIP-191) and counter-signatures from unique humans directly in the browser, with no need to trust a central server.
