Credibility Enforcement
Tythe is not just a scoring protocol — it is a system of active credibility enforcement.
While the DISC Engine calculates and updates DISC Scores, the Credibility Enforcement Layer ensures that those scores remain meaningful, manipulation-resistant, and actionable. It introduces guardrails, signals, and penalties that turn a passive score into an enforceable trust framework.
This layer allows Tythe to differentiate between:
• Reflections → Earned DISC Scores
• Signals → Score bands, validation proximity
• Enforcements → Flags, penalties, and credibility staking
What This Layer Does
The Credibility Enforcement Layer powers:
• Score-Based Gating
→ Access controls based on DISC Score ratings, metric filters, and trust tiers
• Signal Enforcement
→ Enforces DISC Score band compatibility for validation (Credonate Proximity)
• Penalty Enforcement
→ Issues and locks BAD Status for identities that violate the protocol
• Visibility Filtering
→ Determines which TRIS IDs appear in public indexes like Cred List, Cred Watch, and Cred Chain
• Credibility Deployment
→ Allows high-trust individuals to stake TCT to validate or back emerging projects and contributors
Subsystems of Enforcement
The enforcement logic is structured across several tightly linked components:
BAD Status
Flags TRIS IDs with trust violations; locks or penalizes scores
Credonate Proximity
Restricts validation privileges based on Score Rating alignment
Indexes
Public trust directories that reflect real credibility positioning
TCT Staking
Enables credibility-weighted backing for contributors, with liquidity unlock conditions
Each component enforces trust through metadata, zero-knowledge proof anchors, and protocol logic. No personal information is stored. All enforcement is decentralized, auditable, and reputation-bound.
The result: A system where credibility is not just earned — it is protected, signaled, and enforced.
“The Lord loves justice and will not forsake his faithful ones.”
— Psalm 37:28
