Trust Tiers
Resources are classified into tiers based on the total weighted stake from auditors.
No auditor attestations. Use with extreme caution or not at all.
When to use: Testing, development, or when you've personally audited the code.
Some community trust, but limited stake backing.
When to use: Low-risk operations, sandboxed environments, or with additional review.
Multiple auditors with significant stake. Reasonable confidence.
When to use: Standard production use for most applications.
Heavily audited with substantial economic backing.
When to use: High-security environments, critical infrastructure.
Lock Duration Multipliers
Trust scores account for lock duration. Longer locks indicate stronger conviction:
| Lock Period | Multiplier | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 7 days | 1.0x | 100 stake → 100 score |
| 30 days | 1.5x | 100 stake → 150 score |
| 90 days | 2.0x | 100 stake → 200 score |
Why Tiers Matter
Tiers provide a quick signal for how much economic backing a resource has. Higher tiers mean:
- More tokens at risk if the resource is malicious
- More auditors have reviewed and vouched for it
- Longer average lock periods (stronger conviction)
- Higher cost to game or manipulate
