Proof-of-Trust Formula

Dynamic, privacy-preserving trust verification infrastructure for decentralized identity.

Skyless Protocol is a privacy-preserving trust layer for decentralized identity, enabling dynamic, ZK-verified reputation compatible with Ethereum, Verifiable Credentials, and future frameworks like the EU’s EUDI Wallet.

Skyless Protocol enables developers to integrate behavior-based, composable trust scores into any identity, wallet, or smart contract system. Rather than relying on static KYC, social graphs, or pay-to-verify models, Skyless issues dynamic trust signals based on observed behaviors, cryptographically anchored to users’ decentralized identifiers (DIDs).

Dual-Baseline Modeling

Traditional trust systems rely on simple thresholds or single baselines. But in today’s digital world — with evolving identities, polarizing events, and fragmented communities — that’s no longer enough.

Skyless uses a method called dual-baseline modeling: comparing a person’s behavior both to their own history and to the norms of their community. This reveals how consistent someone is — especially under pressure — without judging their beliefs or popularity.

A Timeline of Emergence Across Domains

1990s: Clinical Psychology | Compared behavior to personal vs. diagnostic norms

2000s: Cybersecurity | Detected anomalies via user vs. team behavior

2010s: Behavioral Finance | Scored risk using personal vs. peer financial profiles

2020s: Enterprise AI | Compared employees to self and high-performer baselines

2025: Skyless Protocol | First to apply this for decentralized trust scoring

Why It Matters

This model emerged when simpler methods failed:
