A Community-Driven Approach to Verified Identity
Naturally migrate community profiles to a higher-value verified state, without risk or force
Adopting Open-Standards
A community-driven approach resonates with the values of transparency and member participation. Digital identity works —all you need are things people know you by—
TruAnon takes this a critical step further: it tabulates the depth of these interconnections and this rank/score makes you visibly trusted.
A "Credible" identity rank carries the same confidence as physical ID and transparency helps members build trust by sharing things about themselves that others can see and understand.
Behavioral Science
Voluntary yet transparent verify shifts the burden of trust, naturally benefitting the credible. Regular users find pleasure in the process, engaging with the system that adds more value, while fraudsters find only more risk.
In this way, Credible folks value achieving Genuine confidence, while fraudsters struggle to be Cautioned before declining to Dangerous rank. Users split along two paths: credible folks become more so, while those avoiding transparency become outliers.
Here's How This Works
Being available to anyone means avoiding confirmation is as clear as having it, and this promotes interaction
What makes this unique is that reporting your rank and score makes you visibly trusted, even without displaying the properties used to boost that score
This is important because verify as a clear, public choice engages the entire community, and natural behaviors compel users to follow one of two paths
The genius of this system lies in its simplicity: natural motivations safeguard the community and undermine the economic incentives of fraud. Results are immediate for any size community, fraudsters can't buy their way in, and the effort to sustain a fake presence is too costly to maintain in such a public way.
