Analogy
PoTrust is like having references checked before hiring—you only get trusted roles after peers vouch for you.
Definition
An abbreviation for Proof-of-Trust, denoting the same reputation-based mechanism for establishing node reliability.
Key Points Intro
PoTrust provides the same trust-based guarantees as Proof-of-Trust:
Key Points
Quantified reputation metrics.
Peer endorsement workflows.
Dynamic influence adjustment.
Sybil resistance via trust decay for new nodes.
Example
Validators in a PoTrust network display trust scores on a dashboard, helping delegators choose whom to stake with based on historical reliability.
Technical Deep Dive
PoTrust implementations store endorsement transactions on-chain. A smart contract computes weighted trust scores each epoch, penalizing nodes with detected faults. Consensus uses a weighted round-robin of top‑N trusted nodes.
Security Warning
Caveat
Endorsement spam and collusion require governance policies to mitigate.
