Grapevine

Separation of Trust and Client

Web of Trust systems in nostr need to generate trust metrics that are contextual, personalized to the end user, and portable throughout the ecosystem. These requirements, in particular the portability requirement, can only be realized when trust metrics are calculated independently of the nostr clients that consume them. This article explores how innovative solutions like Trusted Assertions can make this a reality.

This article outlines a simple system to delegate curation of nostr NIPs to your personalized web of trust. Custom NIPs (kind 30817) at NostrHub.io will be enhanced using kind 7 reactions (+/−) for up/downvotes. Reactions will be filtered using personalized GrapeRank metrics communicated via Trusted Assertions. Additional features can be added in the future to ensure a rich, robust and truly decentralized system of NIP management.
