TrustLayer is the decentralized human trust layer for Web3 — a Base-native protocol that publishes portable, sybil-resistant Trust Scores derived from peer vouches and on-chain proofs. Any dApp can verify a user is a real human in a single Solidity call, without KYC or biometrics.

Yes. Creating a Trust ID, vouching peers, and earning $TRUST rewards is free. Only optional premium tiers or write operations charge $TRUST fees.

Does TrustLayer require KYC or biometrics?

No. TrustLayer never collects KYC, iris scans, or personal data. Identity comes from peer vouches and wallet signatures — reputation is math, not documents.

What is the $TRUST token?

$TRUST is TrustLayer's native token on Base with a fixed 1B supply. It powers vouching rewards, badge fees, staking gates, and revenue-funded buyback-and-burn.

How does TrustLayer compare to Worldcoin?

TrustLayer requires no biometric hardware, is fully non-custodial, and lives on Base. Worldcoin uses iris scans and centralized orb hardware. See the full comparison at /vs/worldcoin.

How long does the On-Chain Credit & Under-Collateralized Loans integration take?

Most teams ship a working integration in under a day using the TypeScript SDK and one Solidity view call.

Is any user PII collected?

No. TrustLayer is non-custodial and never collects biometrics, KYC, or personal data. Reputation is math anchored on Base.

What does it cost to integrate?

Reading Trust Scores from Solidity or REST is free. Only optional premium tiers or write operations charge $TRUST fees.

On-Chain Credit & Under-Collateralized Loans

Enable under-collateralized loans by reading a borrower’s Trust Score directly from Solidity. Higher reputation, lower collateral requirement.

The problem

DeFi lending is 100% over-collateralized because there is no on-chain credit. Real-world credit systems require PII; DeFi refuses that trade.

How TrustLayer solves it

TrustLayer publishes a portable, tamper-proof Trust Score any lending contract can read. Higher scores unlock lower collateral ratios — no KYC, no PII.

Key benefits

Under-collateralized loans for high-reputation borrowers
Zero PII — reputation is math, not documents
Composable — plug into Aave, Morpho, and custom lenders
