How Trust Already Works
Instead of surrendering privacy, people validate activity others know them by. Confidence is a reflection of history—your audience, collaborators, and friends.
Better Than A Badge
A Credible profile is like ID, but people typically boost this report to Reliable or even Genuine. If being Credible is good, being more so must be better.
Fraudulent claims don’t scale—each new claim earns less trust in exchange for greater exposure. Fraudsters struggle to be labeled Cautioned and fall to Dangerous as they abandon a fruitless effort. Properties cannot be reused, so they are now forfeited and lost.
The safety effect is automatic—members make it work; fraudsters move on to less trusted platforms.
Fraud Fighters Agree
Trust as a Service; A Simple API
Easy to implement: This API requires far less programming time to integrate than traditional services. Like calling a weather service and presenting the temperature; no data is stored or processed —adopting TruAnon doesn't change your service, or how people use it.
The Privacy-Conscious Alternative
| Features | Traditional Verify | TruAnon |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Requires government-issued ID, excluding many by age, region, or circumstance | Accessible to anyone with existing accounts (school, health, social) |
| Process | Manual checks and vendor review create onboarding delays | Self-attested, cryptographically confirmed—no wait, no gatekeeping |
| Privacy | Collects and stores personal documents or biometrics | Links accounts you already use—no storage, no tracking |
| Control | Verification is locked-in and externally controlled | Verification is visible, revocable, and user-managed |
| Data Security | Centralized data means risk of breach or misuse | Nothing stored—no breach surface |
| Convenience | Re-verification required with life changes or expiration | Adapts dynamically—continuous identity proofing, no expiry |
| Professional Utility | ID use is hidden; trust doesn’t scale between platforms | Credibility follows you—visible, portable, and earned |
Frequently Asked Questions
Does This Prevent Spammers and Masquerading?
Yes. TruAnon makes it prohibitively difficult to maintain fake accounts. Each verified property (email, school, health) has one owner—fakes don’t scale and are quickly revealed.
Is This GDPR Compliant?
Yes. TruAnon doesn’t store or process private data. There’s nothing to leak, nothing to audit, and nothing to breach—compliance is built-in.
Do Members Control Their Own Privacy?
Always. Users decide what to prove, when, and to whom. They can revoke or update access at any time—privacy isn’t surrendered, it’s protected by design.
Can People Prove Who They Are Without Giving Up Identity?
Yes. TruAnon verifies real-world connections—like school or healthcare—without revealing personal details. Trust is shown, not surrendered.
How Does This Remove Privacy Liability?
Because you never hold sensitive data, there's nothing to be exposed or compromised. TruAnon keeps identity in the hands of users, not the platform.
How Long Does It Take to Confirm?
Usually under 10 minutes. No waiting for manual review, no document upload—confirmation is instant and active, not passive.
How Does It Compare to Traditional Systems?
TruAnon is instant, private, and user-controlled. No documents, no biometrics, no risk—just trust where it belongs: with the person using it.
