openrank scores are now on @base 

what do onchain openrank scores really solve? 
1. permissionless access by any developer/contract (live)
2. verifiability/trustlessness of the actual scores (soon)
3. plurality of scores - anyone can create their own version (live)

fun story—we tried putting openrank scores onchain 6 months ago. gas fees for posting+updating scores was significant, even with 500k ranked fc users. At the time, developers were content using scores via APIs, so we prioritized making scores widely accessible that way. 

fast fwd 6 months—onchain agents, token launchers and transaction bots have emerged. these fully onchain and autonomous systems need a robust onchain reputation system to function effectively.

we're going to see many unlocks for social and consumer crypto:
access— who can buy/mint, get discounts
sybil resistance—prevent bots,duplicates,snipers
incentives—rewards for positive contribution
markets—merit-driven information exchange

a question that comes up most often - how to make a ranking, points or scoring system useful and robust?

here's a few good properties we think are very useful (we naturally apply these with openrank):

- align scores with core goals of the app/community (try to answer what is good and bad behavior)
- update dynamically based on ongoing activity (sustained good behavior should compound, bad behavior should have a fast feedback loop, allow stale good behavior to decay and new rising stars to rise up)
- leverage natural network effects of the app for scoring/ranking heuristics (don't make people do one-time things, capture heuristics from what users end up doing naturally and daily)
- avoid vanity metrics (vanity metrics help with acquisition, but don't do much for retention)

tldr: value comes from tracking authentic, continuous engagement
