Cred Watch

Cred Watch is Tythe’s Violation Index for active monitoring system of anomalies — a protocol-level layer that surfaces behavioral red flags, suspicious scoring patterns, and ecosystem threats.

It is a transparency and risk mitigation system — designed to help platforms, users, and protocols avoid reputational hazards before they escalate.

Flagging Criteria

Cred Watch tracks behavioral and systemic anomalies across the Tythe network.

Flags may be issued for:

Category	Example Triggers
Reputational Loops	Users Credonating each other in closed cycles
Score Manipulation	Abnormal TCT spikes without valid action history
Non-Human Behavior	Bot-like login patterns, spam, or unusual interaction speeds
Governance Violations	Repeated proposal abuse or proxy voting patterns
Policy Violations	Credonations from blacklisted TRIS IDs or from orgs to users

Each flag includes:

• TRIS ID (username or org)

• Violation Code

• Timestamp and recurrence pattern

• Severity classification (Informational, Warning, Critical)

Public Index

Unlike internal moderation systems, Cred Watch is fully public:

• Anyone can inspect flagged TRIS IDs

• Platforms can apply gating logic based on flag severity

• Users can evaluate reputation risk before interacting or validating

Field	Description
TRIS	The flagged identity
Flag Type	Violation Code (looping, fraud, etc.)
Last Activity	Timestamp of last suspicious behavior
Severity Level	Informational / Warning / Critical

Decline vs. Flag

Being listed on Cred Watch does not reduce DISC Score — but it does:

• Visibly mark the TRIS as a high-risk entity

• Allow other users to decline Credonations preemptively

• Let platforms apply access restrictions or voting limitations

TRIS IDs can dispute flags through Tythe’s upcoming moderation layer or formal appeals — but Cred Watch itself is automated and enforcement-neutral.

Why It Matters

Cred Watch serves as:

• A dynamic risk register for platforms and DAOs

• A reputation firewall to prevent social trust laundering

• A precautionary guide to protect high-trust systems from abuse

Where Cred List spotlights credibility, Cred Watch defends it.
