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.
