TCT Staking
TCT Staking allows individuals and organizations to back high-trust projects, proposals, and protocols using their own credibility.
By locking TruCred Tokens (TCT), users put reputation on the line — creating a trust-weighted signal that is visible, verifiable, and progressively enforced.
What Is TCT Staking?
Staking TCT is not about yield or economic return — it is about project-level trust activation.
It enables TRIS holders to:
Validate Projects
Back DAOs, dApps, or initiatives with personal credibility
Unlock Protocol Privileges
Trigger tiered functionality based on staked trust
Power Access Control
Help platforms enforce entry via staked validation layers
Unlike Credonations (which flow between TRIS identities), TCT Staking is project-specific — used to anchor credibility into causes, not people.
Progressive Unlock Logic
Tythe uses progressive staking tiers to ensure meaningful validation:
Tier 1
100–499
Proposal visibility, badge access
Tier 2
500–1,999
Integration priority, validation role eligibility
Tier 3
2,000–5,000
Ecosystem grants participation
Tier 4+
5,000+
Full trust zone access, contributor allocation
Projects or protocols may define their own staking tiers for participation — Tythe only enforces the base schema.
Enforcement Mechanics
• Locked Duration: Minimum staking period is defined per project
• Early Exit Penalty: Reduces credibility score if withdrawn prematurely
• Stake Metadata: Publicly attached to both the staker and the project
• Immutable Record: All staking events are permanently logged
Only TCT from the Credibility Vault may be staked — ensuring that all validation carries real, earned weight.
Why TCT Staking Matters
TCT Staking is how individuals and organizations can:
• Prove conviction without needing capital
• Vouch for ecosystems without using personal referrals
• Gate access based on trust, not tokens
Where DISC Score shows who you are, TCT Staking shows what you believe in.
“Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.”
— Proverbs 21:20
