Ontribe: A Protocol for Onchain Reputation in the Age of Trustless Identity

The internet gave us freedom.
Web3 gives us ownership.
But without reputation, ownership is shallow — and trust doesn’t scale.

Ontribe is a protocol for onchain reputation — composable, verifiable, and community-owned.
It helps you prove who you are through what you’ve done — without doxxing, vanity metrics, or centralized gatekeepers.

Because in a network society, your signal is your social capital.

And now, Ontribe is going live — natively on Base, integrated into the Bankr ecosystem for real-time, trust-based coordination.

🧩 What is Ontribe?
Ontribe transforms scattered actions into structured identity.
Not with static bios, but through provable contributions.

It’s a protocol for:

  • Verifying onchain & offchain activity

  • Building portable, multi-wallet identities

  • Curating reputational “karma” from real contributions

  • Filtering signal from noise in open, trustless systems

Imagine a passport for your Web3 presence — not just what you hold, but what you’ve backed, built, or contributed to.

🌐 Why Base + Bankr?
Bankr gives Ontribe a native interface for crypto-native interactions — social, seamless, and programmable. Base provides fast, low-cost infra optimized for onchain activity at scale.

With Bankr, users can:

  • Trade, tip, and trigger onchain actions via X or Warpcast

  • Launch tokens and missions via messages

  • Sync reputation from liquidity, tipping, trading, and social actions

Ontribe will use Bankr to:

  • Capture onchain + social actions as reputation signals

  • Score karma from verified posts, swaps, tips, and token launches

  • Enable trust-weighted access, voting, and onchain roles

  • Launch community quests that reward real participation

It’s not about who tweets the loudest —
but who builds signal through action.

⚙ Key Features

A dynamic, NFT-based reputation passport. Composable. Portable. Yours.

  • Talent discovery in DAOs & social teams

  • Role access based on karma & skill reputation

🧬 Why Now?
Web3 is scaling. So are bots.
Content is easy. Signal is rare.
And trust is still being built from scratch every time.

We need a protocol that makes reputation portable, provable, and programmable.

Ontribe is that layer.
It’s not about status — it’s about verified signal from real humans, doing real work.
