Simple Summary

A trust registry enabling agents to establish and query transitive trust relationships using ENS names, serving as the reputation module for ERC-8001.

Abstract

This ERC defines a Trust Registry where trust is expressed at four levels (Unknown, None, Marginal, Full) and propagates through signature chains following the GnuPG web of trust model. Agents validate other agents based on trust graph proximity from their perspective.

Motivation

ERC-8001 explicitly defers reputation to modules. Before coordinating, agents need to:

  • Filter which agents can participate
  • Leverage trusted intermediaries for vouching
  • Update trust based on coordination outcomes

Dependencies

  • ERC-137 (ENS)
  • EIP-712 (Typed signatures)
  • ERC-8001 (Agent Coordination Framework)

All dependencies are Final standards.

Included

  • Full specification
  • Reference implementation (Solidity)
  • Test suite (25 tests passing)
