Reputation System

The Reputation System in Hash Network evaluates the authenticity and provenance of digital content by assigning two key scores:

  1. Trust Score – Measures the authenticity and integrity of content based on its on-chain provenance.

  2. Verification Confidence – Indicates how confidently Hash Network can verify a piece of content using available provenance data.

These two metrics provide a transparent way to assess content trustworthiness before interacting with it.


Trust Score

Definition: The Trust Score is a percentage-based rating that determines how much a piece of content can be trusted based on its provenance records.

How It Works:

  • Content with a fully intact and verifiable provenance history receives a higher Trust Score.

  • Content that has been modified frequently or has missing provenance records will have a lower Trust Score.

Trust Score Breakdown:

Score (%)

Meaning

90% - 100%

Fully verified provenance, no detected alterations.

60% - 89%

Minor modifications recorded, but content is still verifiable.

20% - 59%

Significant changes detected, authenticity partially verifiable.

Below 20%

No provenance found or major inconsistencies detected.

A higher Trust Score indicates stronger content authenticity.


Verification Confidence

Definition

The Verification Confidence score is a percentage-based rating that represents how confidently Hash Network can verify content authenticity based on its available on-chain data.

How It Works

  • Content with strong provenance records and metadata integrity receives a higher Verification Confidence.

  • Content with incomplete, inconsistent, or unverifiable provenance data will have a lower Verification Confidence.

Verification Confidence Breakdown

Score (%)

Meaning

90% - 100%

Content verification is highly reliable with strong provenance data.

50% - 89%

Some provenance data exists, but verification has minor gaps.

20% - 49%

Limited provenance records, moderate confidence in verification.

Below 20%

Little or no provenance data available, confidence in verification is weak.

A higher Verification Confidence means that Hash Network can verify the content’s authenticity with greater certainty.


How Reputation System Works in Hash Network

  • Every piece of content registered on Hash Network is assigned both a Trust Score and Verification Confidence.

  • These scores are calculated based on on-chain metadata, provenance history, and content modifications.

  • Users can check these scores using:

    • Hash Network Verify Tool

    • Hash Network Playground

    • Smart Contract Queries & API


Why Reputation System Matters

  • Trust Assessment – Users can quickly determine how reliable a content piece is.

  • Tamper Detection – Detects unauthorized modifications and potential misinformation.

  • Fair Attribution – Ensures original creators receive proper recognition.

  • Strengthening Web3 Transparency – Provides a verifiable standard for digital content in AI-generated media, journalism, and NFTs.

The Reputation System in Hash Network is a foundational element in ensuring content authenticity, making trust verifiable rather than assumed.
