The New Reputation Economy (Rumour app): On-Chain Proof and Credibility Scoring
The challenge with trading based on social signals is the pervasive noise & the lack of accountability.An anonymous post can move a billion-dollar market, yet the source bears no financial or social risk for false information. Rumour.app by AltLayer directly confronts this systemic flaw by integrating a robust reputation economy into its core mechanism, ensuring that credibility is not merely assumed but is mathematically & financially earned.
Every user interaction on platform from submitting original rumour to validating or challenging existing one contributes to a persistent, on-chain reputation score.
Accuracy is the currency of this new economy. Users who consistently submit verified narratives or correctly stake on the eventual outcome of an emerging story are financially rewarded and, more importantly, gain social capital within the ecosystem.This mechanism solves the core problem of information overload by providing a quality filter built on proven historical accuracy.
This design ensures that Rumour represents a new layer of market intelligence where opinion becomes on-chain proof.
The transparency of the system, guaranteed by AltLayer’s modular rollup architecture, means that a contributor's entire history is auditable, preventing the manipulation of their perceived trustworthiness.The resulting marketplace is one where on-chain sentiment is not just aggregated, but curated.By providing tangible financial incentives for truthfulness & penalizing malicious or consistently inaccurate submissions, Rumour.app transforms on-chain sentiment and reputation into verifiable trading signals.The platform gives traders a quantitative method to judge the source's credibility alongside the rumour's market price,allowing them to confidently front-run emerging narratives based on insights that are accountable and meritocratic. This system reintroduces essential human element of trust into a decentralized context, measurable data.
