Relays
Relays are structured attestations submitted by verified platforms to confirm that a TRIS identity (whether an individual or an AI Agent) has performed a meaningful, score-relevant action. They are one of Tythe’s three primary inputs and serve as real-time signals for the DISC Engine.
Each Relay includes:
tris_id – The identity performing the action (Individual or AI Agent)
action_type – Type of interaction (e.g., lp_stake, doc_authored)
category – One or more DISC Score metric domains
criticality – Relative importance of the action
platform_id – Verified TRIS ID sender of the relay
timestamp – Auto-generated and immutable
All relays are:
Metric-tagged – Mapped to one or more DISC Score categories
Criticality-weighted – Assigned a quantitative importance score
Source-authenticated – Signed or zk-attested by the verified platform
Relays ensure that off-platform behavior becomes onchain credibility; weighted, traceable, and tamper-resistant.
Why Relays Matter
Relays offer:
Third-party precision: Trusted external validation of actions
Modularity: Custom scoring via LogicCR per ecosystem
Privacy by default: No identity exposure needed
They allow organizations to become trust enforcers, feeding verified data into the global trust graph without invasive data sharing.
Who Can Submit Relays?
Only vetted onchain organizations with TRIS IDs may submit decision relays.
Protocols
Aave, Morpho, Zora, Farcaster, Gitcoin
DAOs
Optimism, Arbitrum, Developer DAOs
Blockchains
Base, Polygon, Injective
Launchpads
Superfluid, HyperLaunch
Indexers / Verifiers
The Graph, World ID,
These platforms become active contributors to onchain credibility, feeding verified data into Tythe’s scoring engine.
AI Agents and Relays
Relays are a core input stream for AI Agents on Tythe.
They are used to:
Confirm agent performance across chains or APIs
Attribute DISC-relevant behavior (e.g., “zk_proof_validated”, “fraud_flagged”, “governance_action”)
Enhance or penalize their DISC Score
Enforce accountability tied to their Registrant
AI Agent relays are especially important since agents do not submit their own Trovebook entries. Relays become the primary vector of verifiable reputation for autonomous actors.
Metric Mapping and Criticality Weights
Each relay must:
Tag one or more of the seven metric categories
Assign a criticality score to reflect action importance
Minimal
0.01
Low
0.03
Moderate
0.07
High
0.10
Critical
0.14
Platforms set these via [LogicCR] → a configuration interface that lets them define scoring logic bespoke to their ecosystem goals and priorities.
Relay Lifecycle
Individual or AI Agent takes action on an integrated platform
Platform submits a signed or ZK-verified relay to Tythe
Relay is validated and categorized
TCT is issued to the TRIS identity
For Individuals:
80% → Credibility Vault
20% → Validation Vault
For AI Agents:
100% → Credibility Vault
DISC Score updates in real time
Score becomes queryable (DISC Reports, Indexes, APIs)
Examples Use Cases
Each relay strengthens the trust graph and updates the TRIS holder’s DISC Score.
🟦 Financial
Onchain loan repayment (Aave, Morpho, Goldfinch)
Staking performance verification from platforms like Lido or EigenLayer, confirming uninterrupted validator uptime or restaking fidelity.
Liquidity consistency attestations from automated market makers (e.g., Uniswap, Balancer) for sustained LP participation across epochs.
🟨 Creative
Original collection launch attestation from NFT platforms like Zora, Manifold, or Foundation confirming asset originality.
Protocol design or UX audit credits verified by teams such as Safe, Aragon, or design DAOs like VectorDAO.
Code contribution proofs verified through GitHub integrations or signed by repo maintainers in projects like Injective, Optimism, or UniswapX.
🟧 Educational
Course creation or facilitation logs from learning platforms like Buildspace, Alchemy University, or Gitcoin Citizens.
Technical documentation authorship verified by core teams (e.g., documentation on Scroll, Base, or Polygon zkEVM GitBooks).
Public lecture or workshop recordings verified by hosts like ETHGlobal, Devconnect, or partner DAOs.
🟩 Behavioral
Sustained moderation activity validated by DAOs like BanklessDAO, Farcaster communities, or Gitcoin governance groups.
Proposal participation logs from governance interfaces like Tally, Snapshot, or Agora, confirming consistency and constructive input.
Delegation history demonstrating credible stewardship, validated by delegate rating systems such as Karma Protocol.
🟥 Security
Validator uptime and slashing immunity attested by node operation platforms such as Ssv.network or P2P.org.
Bounty completion and reward claims verified by platforms like Immunefi, Sherlock, or Code4rena.
Audit report co-authorship credited by auditing firms (e.g., Trail of Bits, Halborn, OpenZeppelin).
🟪 Compliance
zk-KYC or jurisdictional access attestation issued via zk-compliant ID rails like Quadrata, Fractal ID, or Gitcoin Passport. Standard KYC applications for centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols.
Cross-border activity declarations verified by ecosystem-compliant platforms (e.g., Circle, Anchorage, Maple).
Policy adherence attestations from protocols enforcing anti-manipulation or disclosure guidelines (e.g., Gnosis Safe, Opyn, or dYdX).
Note: 🟫 Social (Metric Exclusion)
Decision Relays are not used to compute the Social metric. Instead, social credibility is derived directly from self-verified identity proofs (e.g., X, GitHub, Lens, Farcaster) using Reclaim Protocol’s zkTLS module from Tythe's dashboard itself. This ensures user-controlled, revocable, and privacy-preserving validation of social presence.
Relay Restrictions
Only platforms with vetted TRIS IDs can submit
Relays must conform to predefined logic via [LogicCR]
Each submission is timestamped, validated, and stored
Sensitive relays can be zk-hashed and later proven
Tythe does not accept relays from anonymous or unverified sources.
Auditability and Transparency
All validated relays are:
Cryptographically signed or zk-validated
Time-stamped and immutable
Publicly queryable via:
The TRIS Profile
DISC Reports
Tythe APIs
They provide a machine-readable, zero-trust source of verifiable behavioral data.
