Stake
To claim trust, value must be locked. More influence requires more stake.
"Trust is not claimed.
It is staked."
A new trust layer for humans, institutions, and AI.
Identity is easy to fake.
Reputation is easy to rent.
Accountability is optional.
If there is no cost to lying, lying scales.

01 / Idea
Trust needs skin in the game.
This is a protocol where trust is backed by value.
Not promises. Not badges. Not followers.
Every trusted claim requires stake. Every false claim carries loss.
Trust becomes measurable and expensive to abuse.
02 / Mechanism
How it works
02
Verify
Independent verifiers attest claims. They also stake. They can also lose.
03
Slash
When trust breaks, value is burned or redistributed. Both the claimant and their backers are penalized.
Truth compounds. Abuse gets expensive.
03 / Why
Without cost, trust collapses.
In a world of AI, speed beats truth — unless truth has weight.
This system makes trust slower to fake and harder to abuse.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is consequence.
