REP is now live on Base and Farcaster.
(If you don't like reading at Paragraph from the last cast, here is a plaintext version)
Onchain ranking. Karma. Good Boy Points. Social scores. XP leaderboards. Time and again, we reinvent reputation systems — trying to solve the same ancient problem our ancestors faced long be...

Got a lot of DMs lately like:
“can I mint REP ranks already?”
“when does it actually start?”
So, to clarify the situation: ranks are already available for minting.
And that timing matters more than people think.

What a rank actually represents:
• your onchain footprint (txs, assets, activity)
• your so...

Why custom ranks are not just visual elements
Most people see ranks as decoration.
Badges. Colors. Little symbols that don’t matter. But that’s the biggest misconception.
When everything online is easy to fake - followers, engagement, even identity, the only thing that stays real is action.
This is why custom ranks...

crypto still undervalues reputation
it’s wild how every onchain action broadcasts who you are, yet none of it follows you when you jump chains or apps
REP flips that.
it treats reputation like infrastructure: portable, programmable, omnichain.
one profile that moves with you everywhere instead of a pile of disconne...

👀 Intro to REP:
the internet scaled faster than our ability to coordinate.
our reputation became scattered across wallets, accounts, and platforms none of them connected, none of them portable.
REP is a way to rebuild that
blockchain gives us what old systems couldn’t: immutable data, programmable rules, zero-know...

Self-sovereign reputation arrives as REP: attestations you can carry: signed onchain, echoed offchain, attuned to privacy by design.
Minimum Viable Disclosure: reveal the deed, veil the bearer.
Liquid flows: delegate, decay, stake, slash, so stale glory doesn’t ossify.
Agents and apps read the same ledger of proof...

Your reputation does not belong to you.
Your ‘karma’ sits behind velvet ropes: platforms rent it back to you, revoke it at whim, bury it in walled feeds. Identity is fragmented, context is stripped, and your history is monetized by others. Scores mesmerize; ownership evaporates.
Let this be the unmasking: until pro...

Reputation evolution through the ages:
ORAL → SCRIPT → SEAL → PRINT → NET → CHAIN.
Each era re-forged trust. Tribes kept memory in breath; scribes stitched it to clay; guilds sealed it; presses broadcast it; the Internet amplified reach and erased context.
Now we attune proof to persona: cryptographic receipts, por...
