Social graphs are nice way to assess trustworthiness in a decentralized manner with a quick glance at follower count + presence of trusted followers.

One thing I have been thinking for a while is reusing @farcaster social graphs inside the Morpho stack to signal which risk curator is trustworthy (or at least not a scam).

E.g. the Morpho App would show a link to the graph associated to each vault.

Any feedback?

Hey @paulframbot , a team at an ethCC hackathon built a trust score based on @mbd AI models for exactly this use case. Will send a direct cast with the link later!

Morpho is entirely permissionless, so anyone can deploy a vault, even scammers.

Like on uniswap, a scammer could create a fake pair.

This begs the question, right now what is the onboarding process to verify a risk curator is who they say they are, and does this process scale? Is risk curator role currently gated, or is it permisionless?

interesting idea, but those with the biggest social followings aren't always the most trustworthy. Often times the opposite is true

this is brilliant! love the idea of integrating social graphs into Morpho. it would make it so much easier to spot trustworthy curators. 🚀
