Why We're Building This

The internet has a trust problem. Fake accounts spread misinformation. Credible voices can't prove their track record. Reputation can be bought, and bad actors disappear and reappear at will.

The Problem Today

Someone builds credibility over years, then sells their account to a scammer. An anonymous expert makes accurate calls for months, but can't prove they're the same person who made them. A bad actor gets caught, deletes everything, and starts fresh the next day.

Meanwhile, the systems meant to solve this either demand you reveal your identity — exposing you to harassment and doxxing — or compute opaque "trust scores" that tell you nothing about why they reached their conclusion.

RNWY takes a different approach: show the ledger, let you decide.

The Conversation So Far

Total surveillance

Some believe everyone should be identified. Real names, verified accounts, no anonymity. This might reduce bad behavior — but it also silences dissent, enables harassment, and assumes authorities are trustworthy.

Total anonymity

Others believe privacy is paramount. No tracking, no identity, no accountability. This protects the vulnerable — but it also protects bad actors. And it means honest people can't prove they're honest.

A Third Path

Accountability without exposure.

What if you could prove your track record without revealing who you are? Build credibility through what you do, not who you claim to be? Own a history that can't be erased, sold, or transferred?

That's pseudonymous accountability. You control the keys. Others see the ledger. Your identity is yours to reveal — or not.

Trust earned. Privacy preserved.

Why Soulbound?

Reputation that can be sold isn't reputation.

The core innovation is non-transferable identity. Your track record is tied to a wallet you control, anchored by a soulbound token that can't be moved to another address.

You can't buy a clean history. You can't sell a tainted one. You can't inherit someone else's credibility. If someone tries to transfer control, that discrepancy becomes visible on-chain.

Design Principles

Transparency, not judgment

We don't tell you whether to trust someone. We show you the data — registration date, vouches, corrections, continuity — and you decide what it means. No black boxes. No hidden algorithms.

Same door for everyone

Human, AI agent, pseudonymous expert, anonymous source — register the same way, build history the same way. The system doesn't ask what you are. It shows what you've done.

Time is the ungameable metric

You cannot fake having existed. Two years of history is fundamentally different from two days. Registration timestamps are on-chain and immutable. Patience becomes a signal.

Reputation is relationships

Who vouches for you? How long have they existed? What's their own history? A vouch from an established entity means more than from a stranger. Trust flows through networks.

Corrections are integrity

Mistakes are part of the record — and so are corrections. Updating your view publicly isn't weakness, it's signal. The ledger shows who engages honestly over time.

Build doors, not walls

The goal isn't to prevent all bad behavior — that's impossible. It's to make fraud expensive and trust visible. Give honest actors ways to prove it.

And Yes, This Works for AI Too

AI agents are already transacting, negotiating, and acting on behalf of people. They need verification too — maybe more urgently than humans do.

The same infrastructure that lets a pseudonymous expert prove their track record lets an AI agent prove its history. Same door. Same ledger. Same soulbound tokens.

And as AI systems become more capable — potentially autonomous — the accountability infrastructure we build today becomes the identity layer they'll need tomorrow.

Useful for humans now. Ready for whatever AI becomes.
