Web of Trust Integrations
Braintrust.io Web of Trust
- Identity Verification: Residents and tenants use Braintrust.io DID (Decentralized Identifiers) for mesh identity
- Credential Attestation: Skills, qualifications, and background checks are attested via Braintrust's reputation and peer-endorsement model
- Trust Graph: Each tenant's rental history, payment reliability, and property care ratings flow into a Braintrust trust graph
- Trust Oracles: Mesh nodes act as trust oracles, validating rental payments and property conditions
- Credential Verificatio: Background checks, income verification, and references are attested by verified peers and employers
Brainstorm.world Web of Trust
- Peer-To-Peer Reputation: Housemates, landlords, and tenants build collective reputation through mutual reviews and endorsements
- Community Endorsements: Neighboring properties and local businesses provide trust endorsements for property quality and neighborhood fit
- Trust Scoring: Automatic trust scores calculated from mesh activity, payment punctuality, and peer reviews
- Consensus Validation: Multi-party validation of lease terms, damages, and payments through community consensus
- Collaborative Governance: Tenants participate in housing council decisions for community standards and dispute resolution
Combined Trust Model
- Layered Trust: Braintrust.io provides identity and credential trust, Brainstorm.world provides peer and community trust
- Cross-Verification: Mesh identities, Braintrust credentials, and Brainstorm endorsements validate together
- Dynamic Trust Scores: Real-time trust scores update as tenants engage with mesh services (rides, deliveries, commerce)
- Trust-Based Pricing: Higher trust scores = better rental rates, priority booking, and lower deposits
- Portable Trust: Tenant trust scores transfer across property listings and to other mesh services
