  1. Credibility Enforcement

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:

Purpose
Description

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
Staked TCT Range
Unlocked Privilege Examples

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• Early Exit Penalty: Reduces credibility score if withdrawn prematurely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
