Ethos scores need to be everywhere - How you launch a successful project - How you secure better lending rate - How you research and speculate on other projects - How VCs and Angels make investment thesis - How you trust someone during an OTC deal - How you interpret someone's words and actions Re: 2. There is always some element of popularity in reputation. Some people with better resources and connections are going to be more reputable because of that very reason. But the "reward" that you mention is not zero sum, by any means. Many people can be reputable, and not at the cost of other people losing that reputation. There is no unfairly favoring because EVERYONE can be reputable. I imagine a world where the goal is that we simply raise the bar - you must have people willing to vouch, review you to participate in most parts of web3. This doesn't mean it's going to be an all out fight to be reputable, it means you need to pass some minimum qualifications that bots, sybils, fake accounts won't be able...

在 tako 中，您可以通过显示的不同指标了解谁引起了关注。我认为，如果人们能够将鼠标悬停在头像上，更近距离地了解人们对他们的评价以及他们的信誉，那么这将非常有价值，作为一个起点。这对于共享交易的人，或者甚至是那些试图进行场外交易、天使轮融资等的人都会有帮助。我认为看到更深层次的整合真的很有趣，比如“留下评论？”你可以在这里将演员阵容保存到某人的个人资料中。但最终，我认为能够看到某人的信誉如何，在任何地方都会很有影响力！

No. Contributor XP is just the equivalent of reddit karma. It allows us to experiment with incentive models but there are no concrete plans for what it itself will do.

building smart contracts sucks and costs too much $$$ right now we focus on growing users, and when we feel confident it's time to move to the next phase of the business we'll switch to thing next major upgrade of smart contracts priority shifts when you feel like you've sorta hit that milestone of like "okay.. this part of the product is showing signs of pmf.. let's give the rest to them now"

I don't think anon reviews are necessary, I think there are ways to work around it. I'm still not 100% sure building anon reviews on Ethos is going to help anyone judge anyone else's credibility better. we may have better ways to do it than anon

being blunt if you're not connected with the Base team I think you have to prove it to them first it's not because they demand it it's because they get so much inbound I never really cared because I look at base as a public good (tbc, it's not REALLY yet) and we never depended on them for anything.. docs are everywhere, it's evm, it's very easy to build on once we had some traction they've been very supportive, but it was hard to get in front of them before we had any traction

being credible requires cooperation between parties people vouch for each other to show their support - while there is no defi/yield yet we are modeled after PoS for a reason I think it would be hard to convince people early on that one day they'll stake their eth in validators to secure the network :D eventually people will do it to help secure the social layer

we don't look at any of these metrics because they don't tell us anything about credibility qty/qual of followers is easily manipulated onchain history is shallow and doesn't "Tell you if you're an asshole" we rely primarily on data that's instrumented onchain thru ethos

we are a lean team. me, cto ben, 3 other devs, a designer and some customer success we will expand as we grow :) but i like to focus on building products and fill in the gaps on other areas (like marketing, dev rel etc ) as the founder. web3 rewards this well

lots of notable people! the best part of ethos IMO is that you dont have to be someone who has influence to build reputation :) i am still chasing ZachXBT tho :)

- have a product that can adapt quickly to the current meta - be willing to accept that you can't "fight the market" - decide early how much % you want to invest in short term adaptation to short term traction.. it maybe worth spending 20% of your team's resources as "innovation" 80% long term 20% short term gives you lots of flexibility in ensuring you're not left behind while having a long term vision but long term vision is easy if your product solves problems. this is the most important part! if your product solves no problem then it's going to be hard to be focused on long term goals (and have conviction in those)

Better leaderboards, advanced analytics, slashing improvements, ethos.markets expansion are all in the near term then maybe zkReviews or anon reviews (but very cautious about these) Beyond that.. lots more :) but I keep my public roadmap short to set expectations honestly.. things change FAST when shipping publicly and learning by shipping

My co-founder and I sat down one night and said "which L2 is most likely to be around in 5 years?" And the answer was obvious :) Without Base/L2 we could not have built Ethos

Ethos XP is just a nod to people who are contributing right now, most similar to Reddit Karma It also helps us understand how to incentivize people in the future and balance that incentivization now.

It definitely adds a layer of trust I think to how people trade... if people trade with this public identity/reputation I imagine a world where we DO have insight into who and what people are trading what.. and they do so with their public identity because that's what is expected. I always think about how opensea was pretty good for seeing WHO was in a trade and helped you build a bit more trust. People look for signal always in who is buying stuff! but now we have a way to document that.. and that documentation of that person's history can really help people have more confidence in their trades (or document when people do stuff like dump on their followers!)

Ethos is decentralized first in how we think about everything. Most things in Ethos now are already decentralized. The issue is how to stay true to that as you build because it's SO hard to get smart contracts right the first time (and expensive to screw it up) As ethos continues to prove PMF we will continue down the journey of decentralization. It is VERY important for Ethos to retain this position to get the most value of being web3 first (And not victim to censorship and other problems w centralization like companies paying companies to remove reviews)

Who trusts who is extremely important when every conversation we have in crypto is financialized I think there are MANY things we've really yet to uncover here including things like - How reputable is that KOL you want to hire for marketing? - What kind of business has this dev done in the past? Do people like him? - Should I let this person into my community? - What do other founders say about this angel investor of VC? - I'm a fund doing due diligence, what do people think about this founder? - Wow, it looks like you can see a grouping of wallets that trust each other all buying this thing - should I buy it too? and many more.. it's early :D
