Character Circle

Five people who know you vouch for your honesty, privately aggregated into one trust score.

Seun is new to a P2P lending circle. Five long time friends anonymously rate his honesty, Character Circle publishes only the aggregate, and the circle lets him in without anyone knowing who said what.

Blueprint

How the vessel is built

Mission

Let people be honest about each other in private, so newcomers can be trusted on what those who know them really think.

The need

Savings circles, lending groups, landlords and small communities decide who to trust by asking people to vouch in public. Friends will not say anything negative in front of others, so vouching tells you little. Newcomers with no local history are shut out, and fake friends are easy to recruit.

What it will never do

  • Decrypt or reveal any single rating
  • Tell anyone who vouched with which score
  • Sell scores or vouch graphs
  • Call the badge a credit score
Owner playbook

Pick your voyage

Character Circle lets five people who know someone vouch for their honesty privately, then publishes only the aggregate as a trust score. If a lending circle or community uses someone else's reputation service, that service owns the trust graph and decides what counts. Own it, and the vouch flow, the encrypted ratings and the trust badges belong to your community and your wallet.

Straight answers

Before you own it

Can friends just inflate each other's scores?

Yes, some will. The score says 'five people who know them rated them', nothing more. Communities should use it as one signal, not a guarantee. Say that on every badge.

What if someone finds out who rated them low?

Ratings are encrypted and only the aggregate is revealed once the threshold is met. Keep the threshold at five or more so individual ratings cannot be guessed.

I can't code.

Invites, encrypted ratings, reveal and badge come built. You set the threshold and branding.

Could this be used to exclude people unfairly?

It could. Encourage communities to use it to let people in, not to shut them out, and to offer another path for people without five vouchers yet.

Is it really mine?

Yes. Deployed from your wallet on Base or Fhenix.
