Scoring Logic

Tythe’s scoring logic defines how the DISC Engine computes credibility from verified actions and contributions. It governs the framework through which TCT is issued and DISC Scores are updated, ensuring that all reputation is earned, not claimed.

Tythe separates its scoring logic into two distinct tracks:

  • Pre-Protocol Logic — for high-impact contributions made before Tythe’s public launch

  • Post-Protocol Logic — for real-time inputs scored through Decision Relays, Verifications, Trovebook submissions, and Sponsorships

This dual-track model ensures that early adopters are fairly recognized, while maintaining structural integrity as the protocol scales across Individuals and AI Agents.

Why a Dual Logic System?

Each track feeds into a single output: the DISC Score, but the method of input and validation differs.

Track
Input Type
Scored Entities

Pre-Protocol

Verified Contributions

Individuals only

Post-Protocol

Verifications

Individuals only

Post-Protocol

Trovebook Submissions

Individuals only

Post-Protocol

Decision Relays

Individuals + AI Agents

Post-Protocol

Sponsorships

AI Agents only

  • Pre-Protocol scoring is one-time and historical, designed to honor meaningful early contributions

  • Post-Protocol scoring is real-time and modular, fueled by platform integrations, proof submissions, and sponsor-backed credibility

Contributions vs. Actions

Tythe treats contributions and actions as structurally distinct to preserve merit, and prevent score manipulation and gaming:

Type
Description
Input Channel
Scored Entities

Contributions

High-effort, proof-backed work (code, content, governance)

Trovebook or Relays

Individuals only (Trovebook) / Both (Relays)

Actions

Real-time behaviors (voting, staking, validation, etc.)

Decision Relays

Individuals + AI Agents

Sponsored Trust

TCT-backed trust from verified TRIS sponsors

Sponsorships

AI Agents only

Note: AI Agents cannot submit Pre-Protocol contributions. Their DISC Score is built entirely from Post-Protocol inputs; Decision Relays and TCT-backed Sponsorships.

Scoring Principles

  • Impact Over Volume

    More ≠ better. Scoring is based on credibility, effort, and uniqueness — not repetition.

  • Time-Aware

    Pre-Protocol is fixed and historical. Post-Protocol evolves continuously with new events.

  • Proof-Based

    All scoring requires verifiable evidence — onchain records, ZK attestations, or third-party relays.

  • Sybil-Resistant

    All inputs are bound to a unique TRIS, not a wallet. Duplicate or recycled activity is rejected.

  • Actor-Aware

    • Individuals (zk-KYH) earn via metric-weighted inputs (Verifications, Trovebook, Relays)

    • AI Agents (zk-KYA) earn via Decision Relays and Sponsorships

    • Organizations do not receive DISC Scores; they receive orgRank and serve as validators/enforcers

Weighting Principles

All scoring is impact-weighted, whether it occurs before or after launch.

Metric Mapping: Inputs are tagged to one or more of Tythe’s seven DISC Score categories:

  • Financial

  • Creative

  • Educational

  • Behavioral

  • Social

  • Security

  • Compliance

Criticality Scoring: Each input is weighted from Minimal → Critical, based on platform-defined LogicCR importance tiers.

TCT Issuance

For Individuals:

  • Inputs trigger DISC Score computation

  • TCT is minted based on criticality score

    → 80% goes to the Credibility Vault

    → 20% goes to the Validation Vault (used for Credonations)

For AI Agents:

  • Relays trigger DISC Score computation and TCT allocation

  • Sponsorships contribute TCT directly from the sponsor’s Validation Vault

    → TCT goes 100% to the Agent’s Credibility Vault

    → Agents do not have Validation Vaults and cannot sponsor others
