Pre-Protocol Logic
Before Tythe launched, the DISC Engine did not exist, and therefore, no real-time relays, platform integrations, or metric-based scoring could be enforced.
To ensure early contributors are recognized without compromising score integrity, Tythe applies a separate logic track for pre-launch credibility: one that scores verifiable contributions.
What Counts in Pre-Protocol?
Pre-Protocol inputs are impact-weighted contributions (not actions).
These are one-time score-seeding events, and must be provably real.
Onchain Contributions
DAO proposals, validator history, NFT mints, governance votes, LP staking
Offchain Contributions
Docs, research, education, advocacy, public goods, community leadership
No airdrop farming
No self-claimed hype
Only proof-backed, ecosystem-recognized contributions
Validation Methods
To qualify for scoring, submissions must be proven using at least one of the following:
Trovebook Proofs (Individuals only)
ZK-hashed content submitted to the user’s Trovebook and linked to their TRIS
Third-Party Attestations
Submitted by DAOs, protocols, or ecosystem validators
Reclaim Protocol
Verifies offchain account ownership (e.g., GitHub, X) using zkTLS
Manual Review
Reserved for high-value edge cases with no automated proof path
Platform-Relayed Submissions (Individuals only)
Vetted platforms may submit verified Pre-Protocol contributions via Decision Relays, provided:
The user’s TRIS is referenced
The contribution occurred before launch
The relay is properly tagged and signed
Contribution Rules
One-Time Submission
Pre-Protocol inputs can only be scored once
Non-Repeatable
Duplicate or similar entries are rejected
Time-Bound
Must clearly pre-date Tythe’s public launch
Impact-Weighted
Contributions are scored based on reach, difficulty, impact, and trust context
Identity-Locked
Contributions must be bound to the TRIS ID holder (and attested by 3rd party validators)
Scoring Outcome
Validated Pre-Protocol contributions grant a one-time DISC Score boost
TCT is allocated to the Credibility Vault only
Scoring is non-recurring, permanently recorded, and non-transferable
Impact (not volume) determines weight
Tythe doesn’t erase history; it elevates it, if and when proven.
Why AI Agents Are Ineligible
AI Agents are fully excluded from Pre-Protocol Logic for structural and trust-layer reasons:
They did not exist prior to launch
zk-KYA was not available; no agent identity could have credibly predated the system
They lack offchain proof provenance
Pre-Protocol scoring requires human-originated data (GitHub commits, public threads, Reclaim-verified ownership) — all inaccessible to agents
Their credibility is strictly post-onboarding
Agent trust is derived from sponsor stake, live performance, and Decision Relays
Allowing AI Agents to claim pre-launch credibility would:
Break identity anchoring
Introduce Sybil vectors
Dilute the value of earned, early human trust
Only verified Individuals may submit or receive Pre-Protocol scoring.
All AI Agent credibility begins at protocol activation, via Post-Protocol Logic, Relays, and TCT-backed Sponsorships.
Any earlier validations or endorsements may still be surfaced via sponsorship metadata but never converted into Pre-Protocol DISC.
