Overview

Make misuse harder than correct use.

BaseCred is a read-only reputation primitive. It aggregates signals from trusted on-chain and off-chain providers (Ethos, Neynar, Talent Protocol) and exposes them as neutral, deterministic context — not judgments.

BaseCred answers one question only:

“What signals are observable about this identity right now?”

It does not decide who to trust, who to block, or what action to take.

Core Principles​

  • Context, not decisions: BaseCred provides descriptive signals. Applications own all interpretation, thresholds, and enforcement.
  • No judgment: We never label users, rank them, or produce final verdicts.
  • Deterministic: The same input always results in the same output.
  • Explicit absence: Missing data is surfaced clearly — never inferred or hidden.
  • Transparent by design: Every field is traceable to a source. No hidden weighting. No black boxes.

What BaseCred Is Not​

BaseCred is not an authorization engine, moderation system, trust oracle, or recommendation system.

If your product requires a final score or automatic action, BaseCred is intentionally the wrong tool.

Integration​

You can integrate BaseCred via the SDK or public API. The response schema is versioned and stable (Semantic Versioning). See the Integration Guide for details.
