Better precalculated score based on account activity
finest.eth
First of all, thanks for the response. I feel that you are really committed to making Ethos better and are really trying to listen to user feedback.
I have to admit that the suggestion was written before I joined the platform, so I didn't know there was already a step to provide users with pre-calculated scores (based on wallet activity), which I thought was necessary. I agree with the plan to solve the problem with the invitation system, start with a small circle then try to create a snowball effect to make a larger but still high quality, trustworthy network. At least we will need a lot of accumulated data to start any kind of automated rating system.
Hope Ethos will successfully ignite the new era of SocialFi. I'll stay as an active user of this platform 🫡.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.
We personally believe that it's a bit challenging to look at simple information available in an objective way- if you try to bring things like account age, onchain history, trading activity into a score.. it's pretty tough to truly determine how credible that person is based on that data alone.
There definitely _are_ more credible people out there that are known.
We solve this through the invitation system, I believe. When you invite someone else, you bring their score up. If you're a reputable, known person, then people will want to invite you. If their score goes up, yours actually does too!
We believe that this system is what allows us to really lean into the idea of Ethos and "peer to peer feedback" being what highlights credibility, as opposed to attempts to objectify very hackable metrics otherwise.
I'd love to hear from you though, what would you consider to be data that might help us understand if someone is credible or not? Based on things like wallet history and twitter history?
