DeVouch simplifies reputation infra. Leveraging EAS & existing reputation groups (e.g. delegates, badgeholders, passport, etc), we make it easy to build & verify reputation for projects in the web3 space. Our goal is to provide simple, ready made, and interoperable infrastructure for communities that need to validate the reputation of projects receiving funds. Our front end is merely a reference implementation and the backend infra is built to be extensible and easily integrated into any other front end.
DeVouch is a system for members of reputable organizations in the Ethereum ecosystem to vouch for projects that are looking to raise funding. By vouching for a project, the organization can lend its credibility to the project, building confidence for those looking to support it with funding.
DeVouch collects projects from Optimism’s Retro Funding, Gitcoin and Giveth, presenting them in a single place allowing users to either vouch or flag for a project (*more platforms may be added in the future.)
Visitors to the website can see the vouches and flags received by each project, tracked by the "Attester Group" that the vouch or flag came from. Attester Groups are simply recipients of attestations on EAS. Examples are OP Badgeholders and Gitcoin Passport holders. Anyone can create an attestation and add it to DeVouch.
We believe that by providing a way for members of reputable organizations to vouch for projects, we can leverage the social fabric of the Ethereum community to make more informed decisions on the allocation of capital.
