6. Proof-of-Credibility (Reputation & Matching)

P2P Protocol works using a unique on-chain reputation system which not only builds up user trust and privileges but actively helps prevent fraudulent activity within the P2P landscape.

6.1 Building Trust Through Reputation​

A user can increase their Reputation Points (RP) score via a series of on-chain tasks which make them more trustworthy in the eyes of the community. From completing anonymous KYC to referring friends, each newly completed task reinforces the user's on-chain reputation while unlocking fresh rights and benefits along with upgraded transaction limits.

6.2 Inputs (illustrative, governed)​

  • Successful trades (size-weighted), age/decay, dispute history.
  • KYC proof tier (ZK-KYC completed, source diversity).
  • Rail diversity & geography; referral attestations.
  • Slashed events (negative deltas), appeals outcomes.

6.3 Outputs​

  • Order limits (min/max), fee tiers, bond multipliers, matching priority.
  • Regional caps by compliance policy.

6.4 Sybil & Gaming Resistance​

  • Weighted decay, diminishing returns, rail-mix requirements, and anti-gaming and fraud detection engine checks.
  • Optional attested device/account fingerprints (privacy-respecting commitments).
