Trust signals and proof labels

Trust on dApp.ing is contextual. Verification, inspectable work, recommendations, endorsements, activity, and Karma can help you evaluate a claim, but no single signal guarantees identity, quality, eligibility, or safety.

Signal reference

Signal	What it can tell you	What it does not prove
Verified company	The company completed the visible verification process	Every listing, message, team member, or external destination is safe
Verified experience	The displayed role received the indicated confirmation	The quality of every contribution or the person’s current availability
dApp team credit	A team relationship was accepted through the visible workflow	Ownership of the project or responsibility for every deployment
Recommendation	Another profile described professional experience with the person	Independent verification of every statement
Skill endorsement	Someone associated a skill with the builder	A standardized proficiency level
Connected account or wallet	The account or wallet is associated with the profile in the displayed way	Legal identity, asset ownership beyond visible evidence, or account recovery authority
Karma	A visible summary of proof, contribution, trust, and momentum	A universal reputation score, hiring decision, security assessment, or guarantee

Recommended evaluation order

Inspect the exact claim and its proof label.
Review concrete projects, roles, dates, and source links.

Check the company, dApp, or listing connected to the claim.
