The Credibility OS
Tythe is the Credibility Operating System for the internet: a layered architecture that turns identity, trust, behavior, and verification into programmable logic that any application can query and apply.
Where most systems stop at offering human verifications, scores or signals, Tythe introduces a composable, enforceable, and modular infrastructure for building with credibility itself, across users, platforms, AI agents, and digital economies.
What Makes Tythe an OS?
Tythe structures credibility as an infrastructure stack, not just a product or service.
Every function in the lifecycle of trust is abstracted into a modular layer: identity, tokenization, input ingestion, scoring, output, and enforcement. Each layer is programmable, interoperable, and enforceable; giving platforms the ability to issue, interpret, and act on trust without centralized mediation. The result is a full-stack system that allows credibility to be computed, queried, and applied like any other protocol primitive.
Why an OS Is Needed
Most Web3 protocols rely on addresses, assets, or activity as proxies for identity or trust. These signals are often anonymous, duplicable, or manipulated.
This leads to:
Sybil attacks in airdrops and DAOs
Unvetted users in governance and grants
Speculative actors gaming access control
No memory of who’s contributed or who’s credible
Tythe fixes this at the system layer; not through moderation, but through architecture. By enforcing traceability, standardizing score logic, and applying zero-knowledge attestation models, Tythe allows humans, AI agents, and platforms to operate with trust without custody, without surveillance, and without centralization.
What the OS Enables
Tythe transforms how platforms allocate opportunity, restrict access, assess risk, and amplify trust, with zero need to know who the user is.
1. Access Control
Use DISC Scores and Reports to gate participation, unlock features, and enforce role eligibility.
SocialFi Protocol Examples
Lens Protocol – Monetize engagement only for users with verified Social metric weight.
Farcaster Frames – Unlock frames, groups, and features based on Creative or Behavioral score.
Ton (Telegram Bots) – Gate admin roles and access privileges based on verified DISC Score thresholds.
Creative Platform Examples
Zora – Restrict minting, commenting, and bidding to users with validated creative contributions.
Showtime – Filter out creators with low Behavioral scores or flagged history.
Mirror – Feature and rank authors based on Educational trust and publishing consistency.
2. Risk-Awareness
Utilize DISC Scores and Tythe’s modular credibility signals to identify bad actors, flag inconsistencies, and make informed decisions — all without revealing identity.
Launchpad & Token Tooling Examples
Pump.fun / PinkSale / DXSale – Flag or gate non-TRIS ID holding token launchers or those with low Compliance, Security, or Behavioral trust scores to reduce rug risk and spam deployments
DAO Maker – Rank project creators by Financial + Compliance history before launchpad inclusion
Gempad – Apply DISC filtering to restrict multi-project spammers or wallets with active BAD status
Grant Platform & Contributor Evaluation Examples
Gitcoin / CLR.Fund – Detect sybil applicants and weight matching pools by verified Behavioral and Educational contributions
Thirdwork / TalentLayer / Bepro Network – Score talent based on historical performance (Creative, Behavioral), trust endorsements (Credonations), and zk-verified credentials
Dework – Prioritize contributors with verified past DAO work, Social presence, or high Behavioral reliability
Marketplace & Job Board Examples
CryptoJobsList – Filter applicants using DISC Score to validate work history, community alignment, or compliance risk
Questbook / BuilderDAO – Gate applications and fund distribution based on multi-metric DISC trust profiles
Coordinate / Wonderverse – Score past task performance and peer reviews using DISC to minimize overpayment or contributor fraud
3. Capital Allocation
Apply DISC Score logic to lending, airdrops, grants, or liquidity provisioning.
CEX & DEX Examples
Binance / Coinbase / HyperLiquid / Uniswap – Scale advanced trading features (like leverage) based on a user’s Financial + Compliance trust scores.
Injective-based – Gate access to derivatives, structured trades, and prediction markets with DISC-weighted trader profiles.
DeFi Lending Protocol Examples
Aave / Morpho – Enable undercollateralized lending and vault access based on high trust across Financial, Behavioral, Compliance, and Security metrics.
RWA & Tokenization Platform Examples
Ondo Finance / Maple Finance – Vet issuers, underwriters, and lenders via DISC-based identity scoring.
Superfluid – Stream funds only to creators or contributors with validated Creative + Educational trust history.
Grants & Incentive Program Examples
Base Grants – Rank applicants based on DISC Score metadata and historical contributions.
Arbitrum STIP – Filter and assess ecosystem applicants using real-time, transparent credibility data.
4. Weighted Governance
Use DISC Scores to gate proposal rights, scale delegate voting power, or restrict key governance roles.
DAO Governance Examples
Optimism – Increase delegate influence using DISC Behavioral and Compliance metrics.
Arbitrum – Block spam and sybil activity by requiring minimum DISC thresholds.
Uniswap – Scale delegate weight using DISC Score, not just token count.
Gitcoin – Restrict funding round participation to users with validated Creative and Educational profiles.
5. Agent-Based Trust Systems
Tythe enables full identity, scoring, and enforcement for autonomous agents; from trading bots to delegated voters. Each AI agent receives a TRIS.ai ID, which is registered by a verified individual or organization TRIS ID holder registrant, and builds a DISC Score based on its actions.
Autonomous Agent Examples:
dYdX / GMX / Vertex – Gate high-frequency trading bots and algorithmic market makers behind Financial + Behavioral DISC thresholds.
Karpatkey / Llama / Agora – Score autonomous governance delegates based on proposal history, accuracy, and sponsor reputation.
Messari Governor AI / ChatDAO – Validate AI research agents and auto-voting bots using Educational + Compliance metrics before allowing DAO integration.
HyperGPT / Bittensor Subnets – Filter network participants and data contributors based on their DISC Score to prevent spam, fraud, or malicious signal injection.
OpenAgents / DAppNode – Verify onchain agents interacting with smart contracts and tie each to a human/org TRIS with staked credibility.
6. Trust-Weighted Filtering
Implement DISC Score logic natively for ecosystem-wide onboarding, access control, or reputation and surface the most credible contributors, moderators, builders, and validators.
Infrastructure & Layer Blockchain Examples
Ethereum – Integrate DISC-based credentialing into DAOs, DeFi, and attestation systems.
Injective – Use DISC Scores to optimize trader risk profiles and gate high-frequency trading.
Near / Avalanche / Hedera / Sui – Apply trust-based access layers for new ecosystem users, DAO contributors, or protocol integrators using DISC-based onboarding filters.
Content & Community Platform Examples
Warpcast (Farcaster) – Rank threads and replies based on Social and Behavioral DISC weights.
Mirror – Spotlight authors with long-term Educational trust and consistent publishing history.
Lens – Prioritize DISC-verified users for content propagation and monetization privileges.
What the OS Ensures
Tythe’s architecture does more than compute trust; it enforces it. Across individuals, organizations, and autonomous agents, the OS guarantees that credibility can’t be faked, reset, or inflated. Every participant becomes accountable by design.
For Individuals
Reputation is portable — not siloed by wallet or chain.
Every action contributes to a modular, verifiable DISC Score.
History is immutable. Switching wallets does not reset your trust profile.
Trust is earned, not bought — only verifiable actions generate credibility.
Violations are public and non-erasable, preserving network integrity.
For Organizations
All organizational credibility is based on real TCT holdings and validated behavior.
orgRank replaces vanity metrics with verifiable reputation tiers.
Entities cannot manipulate DISC Scores by validating their own members or performing circular staking.
Decision relays are enforced through standardized logic — no custom manipulation or unverifiable signaling.
For AI Agents
Each agent receives a TRIS.ai ID and earns a DISC Score based on verified actions.
Every agent must be linked to a registrant (individual or org), whose reputation is impacted by the agent’s behavior.
Agent actions are immutable and traceable preventing sybil behavior or identity rerolls.
DISC Scores allow protocols to filter, gate, or revoke access for agents based on credibility and trust history, not just performance output.
Operating with Credibility, by Design
Tythe doesn’t treat credibility as a signal to be observed but as a system to be built.
Each DISC Score is the output of a standardized, verifiable process: privacy-preserving identity, impact-weighted behavior, and trust-anchored validation. The system is modular across seven domains, enforced through a vault architecture, and resistant to resets or manipulations.
Scores are context-aware, machine-readable, and platform-neutral allowing any system, agent, or application to gate, allocate, and interpret trust without needing to know who the user is.
“You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise.”
