Web3 runs on trust it cannot verify. Ratify turns real, confirmed working relationships into a multi-dimensional reputation score — engineered to resist manipulation from both sides.
// Free to use · Earned, never bought · You can always respond
Founders hire people they can't vet. Service providers have no portable proof of good work. And every existing rating system can be faked in an afternoon.
// The bill is still climbing — these are the most recent numbers, not the worst of the past.
Behind almost every figure is the same root cause: no way to tell, before the deal, who could actually be trusted. That's the gap Ratify closes.
Founders engage people they can barely check. Vanished managers, bad work and outright fraud are the norm, not the exception.
Great work on one project leaves no verifiable trace you can carry into the next. You start from zero every time.
Star averages, Discord "vouches" and Twitter clout fall to fake accounts, bought followers and arranged endorsements within hours.
Providers are equally exposed to clients who don't pay, expand scope endlessly, or threaten bad reviews. The market is unfair both ways.
Ratify makes trustworthiness a two-sided, verifiable quantity — the layer Web3 otherwise solves informally and unreliably through social networks.
Present yourself, link wallets and social identities, and publish your projects — on an SEO-ready public page.
A multi-dimensional, source-weighted score per person and per project, visualized as a traffic light.
Founders post jobs, providers apply, and every applicant arrives with their verifiable reputation attached.
Optional non-custodial payment — a completed, paid interaction becomes the highest-weighted review of all.
People and projects are different things, so Ratify scores them differently — each with its own traffic light. A founder's reputation and their projects' are linked, but kept apart.
An honestly communicated failure shouldn't sting like a rug pull — and here it doesn't. The coupling between a person and their projects is deliberately partial.
// Plenty of independent verified sources → the score is shown in full color.
A naive star average would be faked in minutes. Ratify smooths every score toward a neutral prior and gates it behind confidence. Drag the confidence slider down: no matter how high the raw number, a thin or weak signal stays grey — neither good nor bad.
New accounts are never automatically trustworthy, and never automatically red. Trust is a thing you earn from sources who are themselves trusted.
The core promise is two-sided resistance: nobody can inflate their own score, and nobody can unfairly destroy someone else's. Each mechanism neutralizes a concrete class of abuse.
Your influence equals the trust you've earned in the verified graph. Fake accounts have no incoming trust edges — a thousand of them still count for almost nothing.
A relationship appears only when both parties confirm it — or a real payment proves it. You can't claim you worked with someone famous to borrow their reputation.
Neither side sees the other's review until both are in. "Rate me well or else" stops working when you can't see — and can't change — the other verdict.
Endorsements are weighted by the endorser's own identity strength and trust rank. A swarm of worthless accounts contributes ~zero. Bursts get flagged.
Proof-of-Economy counts distinct, independently reputable payers — not transaction count or amount. Paying yourself in circles buys nothing.
Ignore a confirmation request and the relationship becomes "unconfirmed" at reduced weight — not invisible. Only an active dispute hides it, pending moderation.
New accounts begin grey, not clean. Receiving payments needs a KYC identity you can't trivially re-mint, and rebuilding verified history is the deterrent against ditching a bad score.
Tightly interlinked groups that only review each other — with little trust coming in from outside — stand out under graph clustering and get flagged for review.
Repeated reviews or payments between the same two parties count with sharply diminishing marginal weight. Stacking interactions with one ally stops paying off fast.
// A confirmed negative review weighs exactly as much as a confirmed positive one. We reward verifiability — not goodwill.
Account age only counts together with real activity — an old, empty wallet is worth barely more than a new one. That makes Sybil farms genuinely expensive.
Read-only. Reviews do not count toward any score.
Sign-in with Solana plus one linked identity (X / Discord / GitHub).
Several socials plus at least one interaction settled through the platform.
Required to receive payments. Carries a "Verified Identity" badge.
The prototype ships the trust engine in full — deliberately ahead of payments, KYC and premium, the most heavily regulated pieces.
Most trust is negotiated on X, Discord and Telegram — so that's where Ratify shows up. One browser extension paints the Ampel right onto all three web apps alike; native bots answer a slash command inside the mobile and desktop apps.
Every avatar gets an Ampel ring, every profile a hover card — right in the timeline, no tab-switching.
On Discord web the extension rings every member's avatar inline. In the app, /ratify @user posts a live verdict card so mods can vet newcomers before they're let in.
On Telegram web, avatars carry the same Ampel ring. In the app, /ratify or an inline @RatifyBot query returns any handle's traffic light without leaving the chat.
The order is driven by dependency and risk — the reputation core is the product. Everything after it slots onto a system that's already running.
Building reputation never costs anything. The platform is funded only when real money moves — and even then, lightly.
Profiles, reviews, scores, jobs and search are free, forever. You earn trust — you never pay for it.
A flat fee on services settled through the platform. No custody of funds — ever — by design and by law.
Halved fee plus one featured listing each month. It pays for itself above a modest monthly volume.
Only the first 100 people can sign up directly and become founding members. After that, Ratify is invite-only — every new member is vouched in by someone already trusted.
// An invitation is a trust edge — your inviter stakes their own reputation on who they bring in.
