If you think$KAITO It is Meituan and Juliangxingtu. It relies on AI to calculate the score, which is easy to be cheated, but it is relatively fair!
If you think that ethos_network is Dianping.com, and that it gives scores based on social relationships, there will be costs for "flattering" and lying, and this will lead to a situation where the big guys have a monopoly!
1. Is it worth playing?
As for the on-chain reputation track, Kaito has no rivals since we mentioned it before, but ethos_network is a more capable rival in the same track. The founder has played FriendTech, and the mechanism is a bit of a Ponzi scheme, but it has advantages for early players, and it is a staking mechanism, not pure contribution. We still have to brush it!
Initially, your score is 950~1200 (depending on your wallet and Twitter age). If others give you a good review, you can get extra points (1~20 points). The lower your score, the more points you get. After you get a high score, the impact of others' comments becomes smaller.
2. Two evaluation systems: AI vs. humans, which one is more reliable?
Kaito (AI algorithm): It relies on machines to calculate scores, which makes it easy to be cheated, but it lacks "humanity and worldly wisdom".
Ethos (people evaluate people): Scoring is based on social relationships, but people will "fawn on others", and in the end a monopoly will be formed among the big guys.
Conclusion: Neither is perfect, but Ethos is easier for ordinary people to participate in because its airdrops mainly rely on staking and guarantees rather than pure contributions.
3. How to play Ethos?
The original intention of the project was to give each account a score based on the size of the KOL. In addition to mutual evaluation, it also allowed everyone to judge the authenticity of each comment, creating a platform for people to evaluate people!
Credibility Score: Initially 950~1200 points (depending on your wallet and Twitter age). Others can add points (1~20 points) for giving you good reviews. The lower your score, the more points you get. After you get a high score, the impact of other people's comments becomes smaller.
XP Points: Obtained through daily sign-ins, comments, guaranteeing others, and market transactions.
Notice: XP may be linked to future airdrops!
4. Core Ways to Earn Money/XP
(1) Guaranteeing others (low risk, stable XP earning)
Pledge ETH to guarantee others, starting from 0.01 ETH.
Benefits: For every 1 ETH pledged, you will get 1000 XP every day.
Cost: 0.2%~0.6% handling fee (cheaper than trading).
Bonus: After guaranteeing, the person you guarantee will continue to gain points for 180 days, and you will get XP every day.
(2) Market trading of Trust (high risk, high return)
Don’t have an invitation code? You can buy Trust directly (equivalent to investing in someone else’s reputation).
Benefit: For every 1 ETH of Trust, you can get 2000 XP per day (2 times higher than guarantee).
Cost: 2% handling fee (1% for the agreement, 1% for the seller).
Suitable for: People who want to earn XP quickly but don’t have an invitation code.
(3) Open your own Trust Marketplace (for influential people)
After being invited, you can open your own market for 0.1 ETH.
When others buy your Trust, you can earn commissions.
Suitable for: KOLs or controversial figures (such as those who are often discussed).
5. Risks:
There is a 2% transaction attrition. If no one takes over, you may lose money in transaction fees. Also, the stake is ETH, so there will be a decline.
