TrustScore

Proof You Can Trust

A trust-driven scoring system combining real-world activity with verifiable Web2 & Web3 signals

What is the TrustScore?

0-100

Dynamic Score

TrustScore is a dynamic score from 0 to 100, representing your verified professional reputation on OPUS.

50

Starting Point

New users start at 50. The more you deliver and engage, the higher your score grows.

🛡️

Trusted Anywhere

Your score is portable — trusted by both traditional employers and blockchain-native ecosystems.

How the TrustScore Grows

Your TrustScore rises as you complete trusted jobs, receive reviews, earn endorsements, and verify credentials — both on traditional platforms and on-chain

🔍 Diminishing Returns Explained

Your growth slows down as your score increases. This ensures only consistent, trusted behavior leads to top ratings. The closer you are to 100, the harder it gets.

TrustScore Formula

Understanding the mathematics behind your reputation score

The Formula

// TrustScore Growth Formula
TS_increment = base_value * (1 - (current_TS / 100)^curve)
base_value:Points assigned to an action (e.g., completed job = +5)
current_TS:Your current TrustScore
curve:Controls slope (2 = standard, 3 = steeper curve)

Curve Examples

Growth Example (50 → 80):

Current Score:50
Action Value:+5 points
Curve Factor:2
Actual Increment:+1.46

✔️ Base values are assigned whether the signal comes from an off-chain action (like a review or endorsement) or on-chain (like an NFT credential).
✔️ The formula treats both sources fairly — but may weigh verified sources higher.

Formula Validation

Curve = 2
+1.464
At TS=50, base=5
Curve = 3
+1.031
At TS=50, base=5
Curve = 4
+0.796
At TS=50, base=5
✅ Higher curve values produce lower increments (more aggressive diminishing returns)
