Trust Score
Trust Score is a 0–1000 number computed from peer vouches, streaks, and on-chain activity — a portable reputation metric anchored to your wallet on Base.
TrustLayer computes each user’s Trust Score every hour from four inputs: peer vouches (60%), daily proofs / streaks (20%), on-chain activity age (10%), and network diversity (10%). The score is Merkle-anchored on Base so any dApp can verify it in Solidity without contacting a central server.

Proof of Personhood
Proof of Personhood is a cryptographic guarantee that a wallet or account belongs to one unique real human — not a bot, sybil, or duplicate. TrustLayer builds this from peer vouches, on-chain history, and Merkle-anchored Trust Scores.
Vouching
Vouching is a cryptographic peer signature that says "this wallet belongs to a real human I know." Each mutual vouch strengthens both parties’ Trust Scores.
Merkle Anchoring
Merkle anchoring publishes a compact hash of many off-chain records on-chain so any dApp can cryptographically verify inclusion without contacting a server.
