TrustGraph is a governance tool that makes social trust visible and measurable. Participants give and receive attestations — digital endorsements that build a TrustGraph. Calculated TrustScores can be exported and used to inform governance decisions on external platforms, creating a foundation for legitimacy based on relationships rather than tokens.

TrustGraph’s mission is to help decentralized communities grow at the speed of trust. By transforming invisible social credibility into a shared, verifiable graph, it enables a more human-centered governance infrastructure — one that rewards authentic participation, nurtures resilient collaboration, and restores legitimacy to collective decision-making in the age of decentralization.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have shown enormous potential to reimagine how communities coordinate, govern, and fund public goods. Yet despite the hype, few have fulfilled their promise. Most DAOs still rely on token-based governance models that privilege wealth over contribution and fail to reflect genuine social legitimacy. As a result, participation often declines, governance becomes captured or performative, and the systems designed to decentralize power end up reproducing the same hierarchies they sought to replace. What’s missing is a credible way to represent trust — the social fabric that actually holds communities together.

TrustGraph introduces a new layer of governance grounded in relationships rather than capital. Through attestations — verifiable, cryptographic vouches between people — it maps and quantifies social trust within a network. This graph of endorsements creates a measurable reputation layer, where TrustScores can inform access rights, voting power, or proposal submission across DAO platforms. By making trust visible and portable, TrustGraph strengthens legitimacy, reduces sybil risk, and aligns influence with real contribution instead of token holdings.
