Rep Score : Calculations & Limits

Learn about the new Rep score system implemented within Gnosis App.

The Rep system measures how trustworthy and healthy an account’s activity is within the network.

Your Rep score affects:

  • How much gCRC you can mint

  • How much your account carries

  • How strongly your activity influences other connections

The system combines your own behavior, your trusted connections, and optional verification signals.


What impacts my Reputation?

Your Rep is mainly based on:

  • How responsibly you use gCRC

  • Whether you hold or instantly sell, dump, tokens

  • Your network connections and their behaviours

  • Organic activity with other users

  • Optional identity or verification attestations

The system looks at long-term patterns, not isolated actions.


Will spending or testing the App hurt my Rep Score?

Normal usage, testing, or small transfers should not heavily damage your reputation. The system is designed to avoid punishing:

  • New users

  • Merchant payments

  • Everyday transactions

However, repeatedly selling large amounts of gCRC without redeeming or participating responsibly will reduce your score over time.


What is the liveness factor?

The liveness factor is a real-time safety mechanism. If a user quickly sells or transfers away most of their gCRC:

  • Their minting power is temporarily reduced

  • Their score reacts immediately

  • Recovery is still possible later

This helps prevent short-term abuse while allowing honest users to recover.


How does connections affect Rep?

Your reputation can improve when you connect with trusted, high-quality users.

But:

  • Only mutual relationships count

  • New accounts receive limited Rep boosts at first

This helps prevent fake-account farming and sybil attacks.


Can my Rep improve over time?

You can improve their reputation by:

  • Holding gCRC responsibly

  • Holding instead of dumping

  • Staying active in the network

  • Building long-term relationships

The system is designed to reward consistent long-term participation.


What are Rep boosts?

Certain actions can increase your score, including:

  • Card verification

  • Humanity attestations

  • Backer status

  • Bilateral connections with high Rep Score users

These boosts help strengthen credibility within the network.


What happens if someone I am connected with behaves badly?

Your score may decrease slightly if connections consistently lose reputation.

The system considers:

  • The quality of your network

  • Whether connected users are improving or declining over time

Effects are gradual rather than immediate.


How does the system prevent abuse?

The system includes several protections against manipulation:

  • Bilateral-only trust

  • Gradual reputation growth

  • Real-time mint throttling

  • Anti-circular transfer detection

  • Reputation damping for new accounts

These mechanisms make it difficult to:

  • Farm reputation

  • Use fake accounts

  • Buy temporary credibility

  • Dump tokens without consequences


Can someone affect my Rep without my consent?

Only mutual connections influence reputation propagation. This means users control who can impact their score.


How is the final score calculated?

The final score combines:

  • Personal behavior

  • Trusted network effects

  • Real-time activity

  • Verification boosts

Core formula:

The final mint amount is proportional to the score:


What is the goal of this Rep System?

The reputation system is designed to:

  • Reward healthy long-term participation

  • Encourage social connections

  • Prevent abuse and sybil attacks

  • Support fair and sustainable gCRC minting

  • Allow users to recover and improve over time
