“Why Trust Is Becoming the Real Infrastructure Layer”
Crypto talks a lot about infrastructure — chains, rollups, bridges, DA layers.
But the most important infrastructure emerging right now isn’t technical.
It’s trust.
As systems become more composable, complexity increases.
And when complexity increases, users don’t verify everything — they delegate trust.
This is already visible:
users follow analysts instead of reading whitepapers
builders rely on known libraries instead of auditing everything
capital follows familiar teams, not new ideas
social graphs become filters for risk
In environments like Farcaster, trust becomes explicit and observable.
Reputation is built publicly, over time, with context attached.
This changes the game.
Trust is no longer a soft signal.
It becomes an execution layer:
who gets attention
who gets distribution
who gets capital
who gets forgiveness when something breaks
The next generation of crypto infrastructure won’t just move value.
It will route trust.
And like all infrastructure, once it’s in place, everything else quietly reorganizes around it.
