WoT has multiple uses. The first is getting rid of the obvious bots and bad actors who may want to spam your app with junk. Centrality algorithms like GrapeRank or PageRank have a much more extensive reach than follows of follows, and are effective and simple enough to implement if and when spam becomes a problem on your app. Ideally you’ll farm out calculation of personalized trust metrics to a WoT Service Provider like Brainstorm, Vertex, or Relatr. @npub142g…xrj0 and other clients have already started doing this using @npub1gcx…nj5z's Trusted Assertions NIP (which @npub180c…h6w6 just merged) to empower the user and avoid SP vendor lock-in. Cultivation of the ecosystem of WoT SPs to make WoT metrics both *personalized* and *portable* is the primary goal of the #wotathon — the @npub1hea…vp8p web of trust hackathon that runs through April. We have weekly community calls on Thursdays; you should join us!
The more challenging and exciting WoT use case will be content discovery. Suppose I want to find songs in some niche musical category by awesome but undiscovered musicians who aren’t on Spotify. Do we want to wait for said musicians to build up 10k followers on nostr? Why wait for that when my trusted, extended community can find exactly the content I want and serve it up to me on a silver platter? This is the type of use case we’re tackling with Brainstorm at @npub1hea…vp8p. This particular use case is being explored in depth by @npub1hqa…t56s. Keep an eye on what he’s up to; it will be relevant to your app. 2026 will be an exciting year for WoT in nostr!

Good point. One of the biggest challenges in WoT is understanding the problem itself. What exactly are we trying to solve?

2026-01-21 23:41:57 UTC

What are the big picture, WoT-related topics, questions, issues that are on people’s minds? Off the top of my head, here are a few:
1. Where should the trust signal come from? Follows, engagements, attestations, something else?
2. What are the different categories of trust? (And who decides what those categories are?)
3. Is it possible — or even desirable, under any circumstances — for standards, protocols, ontologies, etc to be created and actively managed in the absence of a designated maintainer, committee, etc? If so, how?
4. What are the different ways we should communicate scores from WoT Service Providers to nostr clients?
5. What WoT tools and features are needed before we can attract normies to nostr? WoT scores that are personalized, portable, contextual … what else?
6. How do we make WoT scores contextual?
7. How do we convey confidence in any given WoT score?
8. How can we monetize WoT?
9. How do we empower users to “choose your own algorithm”?
And here are two we discussed on our weekly #wotathon call last week:
1. Is WoT leading us towards a Black Mirror dystopia?
2. Is it OK to attach a number to trust? Why or why not?
What other questions can you think of? We want to hear from you!

Upon rereading your previous message, it seems to me you’re saying the default should ALWAYS be: don’t display them.
Unless you have an exception in mind? If so, what is it?
I’m trying to pin you down bc you advocate for a very generic, very widely-encompassing rule and when I ask WHY this is your stance, you just walk through one specific use case where you don’t show trust scores. And then you extrapolate from the specific case to the general rule (never show scores by default) without justification. I suspect your true motivation is that users will tell you “you can’t put a number to trust.” Which is not true — we can and we do. Still, it’s an understandable (albeit vaguely defined) sentiment, one that MANY users will have, and we should respect our users. So your solution is to tell them “I agree, we can’t put a number to trust, we would never do that! Look, no numbers!!” And yet, putting numbers to trust is *exactly* what we’re doing. It is dishonest to pretend we’re not — hence disrespectful at a very deep level to our users — and many users will sense the dishonesty.

2026-01-12 21:56:32 UTC

I’m not saying the default should be to display ALL the scores ALL the time. I’m saying sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. No sense in showering the user with a deluge of confusing numbers for no purpose.
But you’re saying we should never ever display raw trust scores. We should ALWAYS by default hide them under the hood. There are ZERO use cases for showing a 0-100 Trust Score next to a user profile.
Am I misunderstanding your position? Is there at least one use case you can think of where you think we SHOULD show a raw Trust Score by default?

2026-01-12 15:47:08 UTC

- reply

That’s my point.
Me: there are times when you don’t want to display the scores and times when you do want to display the scores.
You: I can think of a use case where you don’t need to display the scores. Therefore nobody should display the scores, for any use case, ever.

I feel like our discussions too often fall into the following pattern:
Me: we’re building a new thing called an automobile. It will get you from city A to city B. It’s awesome.
You: The bicycles I sell are great for getting around town. No one needs automobiles.
Me: ok. Let’s have both. Bikes for short distances, automobiles for long distances. It’s not either-or, it’s both-and.
You: For the specific use case that I’m focused on, getting around town, bikes are awesome. Therefore automobiles have zero use cases. No one will need them, ever, for anything.

Dawn would you ever wanna hop on a #wotathon Thursday community call and take 5 minutes to tell all the devs what you want, what you’re getting, and what you’re not getting out of WoT?

2026-01-11 15:42:06 UTC

- reply

Also: there are use cases that go beyond filtering and sorting in the background.
Suppose someone you don’t follow DMs you. How do you know whether this DM is worth your time and attention? One method is just to hide the DM if the WoT score is below some cutoff. But what should be the cutoff? There will never be one right answer. So a better method is to show the WoT score next to the author, obtained from Trusted Assertions as the 0-100 rank metric, like Amethyst is doing. The end user can decide whether a score of 10 or 50 or 95 is worth looking at. Maybe I have a lot of free time today, so I’ll read the message if rank is above 10. But tomorrow I’m busier so it’ll have to be 90 to catch my eye. And in the case of personalized GrapeRank, a 50 for me may not be a 50 for you, because you and I may have selected different GrapeRank parameters. My “rigor” parameter may be set to a low value (by my choice), so when I see a score of 50 on amethyst, it means “this user is followed/trusted by 5 moderately trusted users”, whereas your “rigor” may be set to a high value, so when you see the same score of 50 on amethyst it carries more weight, bc it means “this user is followed/trusted by 100 highly trusted users”.
We can’t give users control over their user experience if our philosophy is to hide the number crunching and make all the decisions for them.
At the same time, we ALSO need to make it super easy for the end user. If they don’t want to look under the hood, they don’t have to. Which is why GrapeRank comes with default preset parameters. But showing turn numbers, like I described here and like amethyst is doing, will oftentimes be better than simply filtering and sorting under the hood.

2026-01-11 15:08:18 UTC

- reply

It’s easy for us to underestimate how much work it takes for devs to integrate these scores into their clients. Sure, a dev could roll out a new feature using the scores to sort content. But step 1 is simply to import the scores, make sure they’re being imported correctly, and educate the end user that this new tool is available, here is what it is, here is how it works.
The whole point of sovereignty is to put you in charge of your user experience. Which means putting you in charge of the algos that sort your content. Which means users need to be aware what algos are available and how they work. If we just sort content and say “trust me bro, we’re sorting it in the best way possible, please don’t examine the numbers or ask for details about how it works or look under the hood” — that’s the opposite of what we want to achieve.

The Brainstorm prototype at straycat.brainstorm.social was down but is back up now. If you sign up, I can calculate your Grapevine — your personalized and portable WoT scores — that can be viewed on Amethyst. CAVEAT: it’s super slow, which is one reason why we’re rebuilding it from scratch at @nprofile…xza3. On the prototype I trigger the calculations manually, and the server can process a handful of customers in a day. The rebuilt Brainstorm will be better in a lot of ways, including much faster. For now, sign up on the prototype and I’ll DM you when your Grapevine is ready!

You sort and filter based on numbers which you’re using as a proxy for trust. The act of calculating and using personalized PageRank means you are ranking.

For starters, the nostr ecosystem needs WoT Service Providers that calculate WoT scores that are *personalized* and *portable*. I’ve written about this in several of my long form posts over the past few months. Developing this ecosystem is the main thrust of the WoT hackathon at @npub1hea…vp8p, aka our #wotathon that goes through April. Importantly, these WoT Service Providers must be open source, which means you’ll have the option to do all the calculations yourself, as your own SP. Just like you can run your own BTC node and nostr relay if you so desire.

TrustRank evolved from PageRank. It was inevitable that it would become evil because the entire endeavor was a centralized, global scoring system from the very beginning. The solution is not to get rid of algorithms or scores, but to personalize them.

2026-01-09 22:13:47 UTC

- reply

Do you consider mute lists to be “censorship”? I don’t, and I’m guessing you don’t either. In which case: why do you consider the WoT scores on Amethyst to fit into the censorship category?
I’d argue it’s censorship if it’s centralized, based on global trust scores. And yes, Bluesky is centralized. But if the system is personalized, like a mute list that you manage yourself or the metrics on Amethyst that are personalized to the end user, then no, it’s not censorship.
I should probably point out that the scores on amethyst are calculated using open source software that you can run yourself. You can delegate the calculations to someone else if you wish, but it’s not necessary.

Google’s PageRank was magic. I remember when it first came out. Keyword search went from useless to amazing overnight.
But Google always calculated *global* PageRank. Meaning the PR scores were as seen by Google. The web: as viewed, as filtered, as scored, as judged —- by Google. The Freedom Tech way is for the algos and scores and point of view to be personalized to the end user. Be your own Google, so to speak.

Some people think bitcoin is evil because “money is the root of all evil.” But to them, money means fiat. They don’t realize that the evils of fiat should not be assumed to apply to decentralized money.
Same thing with reputation. Centralized scoring systems are very Black Mirror. But decentralized scoring systems, where scores are personalized rather than global, belong in a different category.

Nice article. You’re addressing the exact same question I address in this article, which is: where does the trust signal come from? Zimmerman’s approach failed because it relied exclusively on what I call *explicit attestations of trust* — in the case of PGP, key signing ceremonies. As you point out, nostr adds the missing ingredient: follows, mutes, zaps, reactions, replies, and other examples of ordinary social behaviour, what I call *proxy indicators of trust*.
In my article I argue that we need both. And if you follow the line of thinking all the way through to the end, you arrive at the notion of *interpretation* of social signals and an algo like GrapeRank that knows what to do with interpreted data.

After PGP, nostr is the logical next step. (And to think: it only took 3 decades! Lol) And right now, tools that provide personalized, portable, and contextual WoT is the next step in pursuit of Phil Zimmerman’s vision. We need all the help we can get to make this happen now, not 30 years from now!!

You’re absolutely right about the need for a vast directed graph. Which is why the Brainstorm prototype uses a native graph database (neo4j) to keep track of follows, mutes and reports.
@npub1fjq…leku is incorporating neo4j into his Orly relay. Also check out @npub10mt…27hf ‘s Banyan relay which uses neo4j and which is a project for the @npub1hea…vp8p #wotathon:

Whenever someone points out that follows does not equal trust, reach for this article.
TL/dr: For any question of interest, WoT should use any and every piece of data that is available and relevant to the question at hand.
Should we use follows? Yes.
Should we use explicit, unambiguous "trust" events? Yes.
It's not either-or; it's both-and.

WoT based means we need your WoT Sandbox so we can create and manage Decentralized Lists. Let's see, looking at the video ... we could use a DList for settings, a DList for kindFilters, and a DList for defaults? Which are the parts you want your WoT to help you manage?

Anyone remember Jed McCaleb? I learned this week he’s working on artificial generalized intelligence and building a space station, among other things.

If you want to enable Alice to rate Bob along any arbitrary context, here is a powerful, extensible NIP you can use. It is also a demonstration of how to use the Curated Lists NIP as a building block.

I’ve added some custom NIPs to illustrate the power of Decentralized Lists, using DLists to keep track of contexts (which is essentially an ontology) and using those to manage a system for context-aware ratings. All using kind 9998 and 9999 events, nothing else.

Reminder that our 4th @npub1hea…vp8p #wotathon weekly community call is one day away! As usual it will be Thursday (tomorrow) at 4 PM UTC, 11 AM Eastern.
We hope to hear from @npub1zl3…jajh and @npub19ma…axkl talk about their use of Trusted Assertions for their projects. @npub1man…n9tn has proposed some changes to TAs (check his timeline for links to the relevant specs) and it would be great to get feedback from the community on those changes.
We love TAs but that’s not our only focus! If anyone has a particular topic of interest or a project to discuss during the call, mention it in the Signal chat or let one of us know — @npub1t8p…gkvf would be best since he’s our MC 🎤!
