What Is Onchain Reputation?

In one sentence

Reputation reflects what you have delivered, not what you hold.

Short answer

Onchain reputation is a persistent, composable record of demonstrated work and reliability, distinct from tokens, capital, or identity.

Why tokens don't capture reputation

Tokens represent:

  • Ownership
  • Financial stake
  • Speculation

They do not represent:

  • Execution quality
  • Follow-through
  • Reliability over time

What reputation is built from

  • Completed milestones
  • Consistent progress updates
  • Verified outcomes
  • Endorsements and reviews
  • Longitudinal execution history

Why onchain matters

Onchain reputation is portable, difficult to erase, and usable across ecosystems.

Karma's role

Karma enables projects to turn execution into visible, reusable reputation.
