Engine
The Decentralized Infinite Synthesis Credibility (DISC) Engine is the core engine powering Tythe. It transforms real user actions into verifiable, weighted credibility — enabling a system where reputation becomes a quantifiable, immutable asset.
Where traditional reputation models rely on ratings, followers, or centralized moderation, DISC is:
• Zero-knowledge based
• Wallet/Platform-agnostic
• Action-driven
• Manipulation-resistant
At its core, DISC enables Decentralized Credibility by allowing any individual to build reputation through provable interactions, without needing to expose personal information, rely on arbitrary scoring systems, or depend on centralized authorities.
To make this a reality, Tythe's DISC Engine currently has three core building blocks, which include:
1. TRIS (The Identity Unit) – Your personal, private, and portable reputation ID
Wallet-Agnosticism – Connect any wallet to build and grow your DISC Score — Tythe never locks you into a single provider.
Chain-Agnosticism – Carry your DISC Score across any EVM and Non-EVM ecosystem — your TRIS is portable beyond any single chain.
2. Trovebook (The ZKP Hash Registry) – A private registry of zero-knowledge proof hashes tied to ownerships of assets, credentials, and contributions
3. Tythe Dual Token (TDT) Framework – A dual-token framework enabling credibility through TCT (TruCred Token) and economic utility through TYT (Tythe Token).
TCT (TruCred Token) – Earned-only token. Accumulation represents your DISC Score.
TYT (Tythe Token) – Tradable token. Powers utility and economics.
Why It Exists
Traditional reputation systems are fragmented, centralized, and manipulable:
• Followers can be bought
• Wallets can be recycled
• Reviews can be faked or farmed
Tythe introduces a new logic: If credibility can be earned, it must also be provable.
DISC allows credibility to be:
• Scored based on behavior and impact
• Weighted by context
• Stored across TRIS identities
• Validated by both individuals and organizations
Key Functions of the DISC Engine:
• Converts platform-submitted decision relays for user performed actions into score indications
• Weighs these actions based on defined credibility metric categories
• Issues non-transferable TCT to reflect earned credibility
• Updates the user’s DISC Score in real time
• Enables Credonation between TRIS identities using spendable TCT (for individuals, received Credonations impact DISC Score, and for organizations, Credonations affect DISC Rank).
• Maintains transparency and integrity through permanent DISC Score metadata
How It Works
When a platform integrated with Tythe observes a score-meaningful action performed by an individual TRIS holder, it submits a decision relay:
• The action is tagged to one or more credibility metric categories
• A weighting factor is applied based on platform-defined criticality
• The user earns TCT, which is distributed across their Credibility Vault and Validation Vault
These actions dynamically affect the user’s DISC Score — which becomes visible across any system that integrates Tythe's APIs or queries the score itself.
What Makes It Unique:
• Credibility is earned through real, contextualized behavior
• Reputation is stored without exposing private data
• Systems can integrate without hosting or accessing personal user info
• All activity is recorded cryptographically, not socially
Metric Categories:
DISC classifies every action into one or more of the following weighted categories:
1. Financial – E.g. Transaction consistency, payment reliability, asset interaction
2. Creative – E.g. Code and ecosystem contributions, blockchain innovation, public value creation
3. Educational – E.g. Documentation authorship, On-Chain credential completion, DAO teach-in
4. Behavioral – E.g. Communication, DAO delegated votes and submitted proposals, peer feedback
5. Social – E.g. Verified account linking, follower credibility, engagement consistency
6. Security – E.g. Login patterns, device integrity, KYC or TRIS validation status
7. Compliance – E.g. Policy adherence, moderation flags, terms of use violations
These categories can be weighted differently depending on the use case of the integrating platform. A DeFi protocol might prioritize Financial and Security metrics, while a DAO might elevate Creative and Behavioral metrics.
DISC Makes Possible:
• Transparent DISC Scores across fragmented ecosystems
• Platform-controlled access logic based on provable credibility
• Credibility-based participation in risk-sensitive environments
• DISC Scoring without identity exposure
• A universal, portable credibility layer that plugs into any part of Web3
“The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.”
— Proverbs 20:23
