2 billion sellers online.
Zero of them can prove
they're trustworthy.
Tribe gives every vendor, freelancer, and crypto trader a verified, portable reputation score , shareable in seconds, before a single dollar moves.
Every day, millions of people send money
to complete strangers.
Amara finds a shoe vendor on Instagram. Beautiful photos. 300 followers. DMs open. She sends ₦40,000 upfront. The account goes silent. No shoes. No refund. No recourse.
This exact scenario played out 17 million times last year.
- ✗ A vendor with 500 real sales looks identical to a scammer with zero
- ✗ No portable review trail follows you across Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter
- ✗ No credit score, no identity verification, no proof of history
- ✗ "Buyer beware" is the entire trust system for a $500B informal economy
Trust is the missing
protocol layer of the internet.
Web2 Today
Amazon reviews stay on Amazon. Airbnb trust dies when you leave Airbnb. Fiverr ratings are useless on Instagram. Your reputation is trapped.
Web3 with Tribe
On-chain reputation follows you everywhere. One profile. Any platform. Any counterparty. Your trust score is a public good.
Why now? The infrastructure exists. .sol domains give everyone a universal identity. Solana has the speed and cost profile for micropayments. We just built the trust layer on top.

One verified profile that proves who you are, what you've done, and that you can be trusted — before any money changes hands.
Three steps.
Trust established.
Create Your
Trust Passport
Connect wallet. Link Instagram. Verify humanity with World ID. Your .sol domain becomes your global identity.
Do Verified
Deals
Create a deal. Both parties confirm. Reviews are logged on-chain. Your trust score builds with every transaction.
Share & Get
Trusted Faster
Share your passport link. Buyers check your grade before paying. Close deals faster. Charge a premium.
The Trust Score Engine v8
Six weighted bands. Reviewer-graded reviews. Stake-and-slash as a first-class signal. Gets smarter as the network grows.
- ✓ Reviews weighted by reviewer's own grade — fake D-grade rings barely move the score
- ✓ Velocity cap: max 2 scored deals / counterparty / month
- ✓ New wallet debuff: <7 days = 10% weight, 7–30 days = 50%
- ✓ Stake-slash forces grade ceiling C for 180 days
- ✓ Inactivity decay: real scores require ongoing activity
+10 pts · Grade floor override · Permanent soulbound NFT badge · Lifetime recognized status. First 100 members only.
Replace the pooled vault with Anchor program PDAs per deal. Fully trustless settlement.

Reviews lie. Stakes don't.
Vendors lock real USDC against deals. Buyers get refunded automatically when admin upholds a dispute. The vendor's trust grade drops a full letter for 180 days. No other reputation app has this.
Phantom signs the deposit. SPL token transfer to the Tribe vault ATA. Deal gets the 🛡️ Insured badge.
Deal confirmed → countdown starts. Buyer can file a dispute with evidence. Deal freezes pending admin review.
Slash: $5 → buyer's ATA, vendor grade ceiling forced to C for 180d.
Release: $5 → back to vendor + INSURED_DEAL_SUCCESS bonus.
- ✓ $0.0001 fees — $5 stake is economically viable. On Ethereum, gas eats the stake.
- ✓ Sub-second finality — vendor sees the badge appear before they close the chat.
- ✓ SPL token program — battle-tested USDC + USDT escrow, no custom contract risk.
- ✓ cNGN-ready — slot reserved for the Naira stablecoin when it ships.
A Lagos vendor with a ₦1.2M iPhone deal can stake $5 USDT (acquired via Binance P2P) — UI shows "~₦7,500" next to it via live CoinGecko feed.
Every slash and release writes a TrustEvent row with a 180-day decay. The grade ceiling lifts automatically — no permanent blacklists.
.sol domain = your trust identity.
One name. Global reputation.
Tribe turns every .sol domain into a living trust passport. Not just a wallet address , a verifiable professional identity with a grade, history, and score.
Tribe uses @bonfida/spl-name-service to resolve any .sol domain to a full trust profile. Type emeka.sol → get their full grade and deal history instantly.
Your .sol domain works across the entire Solana ecosystem. Tribe adds the trust layer on top — making every wallet address a verifiable professional identity.

Trust is more valuable as the network grows. Classic protocol flywheel: more users → more signal → more accurate scores → more trust → more users.
Trust is infrastructure.
We're building it.
Africa's informal economy moves $500B+ a year with zero trust infrastructure. Tribe is the protocol layer that changes that — backed by real USDC stakes on Solana, and a Trust API every human, marketplace, and AI agent can call.
Mobile-first Trust Passport for every African vendor, freelancer, and trader. Real users, multi-currency, shipping today.
Stake-and-slash as a financial primitive. USDC escrow, atomic settlement, multi-mint (USDT live, cNGN ready). Reputation as collateral.
Trust API as the credit signal for autonomous agents. One HTTP call → verifiable grade. Agents can stake and build reputation too.
