Identity Layer
The Identity Layer is the entry point to the Tythe OS. It anchors every action, score, and validation to a pseudonymous identity called "TRIS"; a portable, cryptographically verifiable container that lives across chains, wallets, and platforms. This layer doesn’t just prove that an actor exists. It proves that they can be trusted.
Why It Matters
Most protocols rely on addresses, accounts, or disconnected credentials to represent users. These identifiers are easily reset, duplicated, or manipulated, and rarely carry verifiable history.
Tythe replaces this model with a unified identity system for individuals, organizations, and autonomous agents:
→ TRIS IDs — portable, zero-knowledge verified containers for reputation.
Every contribution, decision relay, or DISC Score issuance must originate from a TRIS. It is the foundational unit of recognition in the trust economy.
What the Identity Layer Powers
Score Portability
Users maintain their DISC Score across wallets and chains without resets and fragmentation.
Onchain Discoverability
Protocols can reference a TRIS to query public scores, validation history, or trust status, without custody or surveillance.
Enforcement Integrity
Once assigned, penalties (like BAD Status) cannot be erased or rerolled via wallet switching.
Sybil Resistance
TRIS is the prerequisite for activating credibility in Tythe and cannot be bypassed by bots, duplicate accounts, or unmonitored agents.
Components
TRIS
Tythe’s decentralized identity unit; the anchor point for all scoring and validation.
MultiVM
A unified architecture that makes TRIS portable across chains, wallets, and execution layers.
The Identity Layer makes reputation composable, not disposable. It ensures every score in the Tythe OS is bound to a real, verifiable, and non-resettable identity; one that travels with the user, not the wallet.
“Better is the poor who walks in integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.”
— Proverbs 19:1
