The Integra Trust Graph - Contracts as Credentials

Traditional reputation systems are siloed. Your history with one platform doesn't transfer to another. When you enter a new marketplace, partnership, or business relationship, you start from zero—even if you have years of successful transactions elsewhere.

The Trust Graph solves this by creating portable, privacy-preserving reputation. Every completed contract becomes a verified credential. Every satisfied counterparty becomes a reference. Your track record builds across the entire Integra ecosystem, not within a single application.

How It Works

When parties complete a contract registered as a Real World Contract, they can attest to successful completion. These attestations accumulate as nodes in the Trust Graph:

Company A ← completed contract → Company B
    ↓                              ↓
attests: "fulfilled"          attests: "fulfilled"
    ↓                              ↓
Trust Graph records bilateral confirmation

The attestations don't reveal contract terms, amounts, or specific details—only that a contract was registered, completed, and both parties confirmed satisfaction.

Privacy-Preserving by Design

Reputation systems typically require exposing transaction history. Want to prove you're reliable? Share your order history. Want to demonstrate creditworthiness? Open your books.

The Trust Graph inverts this model:

What's Visible	What's Private
Number of completed contracts	Contract terms and amounts
Counterparty attestations (if disclosed)	Counterparty identities (unless they consent)
Completion timestamps	Deal specifics
General reputation metrics	Competitive information

You prove reliability patterns without exposing business details. Counterparties verify your track record without accessing your confidential transactions.

The Trust Graph can be visualized and queried through multiple interfaces:

Graph Explorer

Visual interface showing entity connections, completion paths, and trust scores. Navigate relationships, explore network density, and identify highly connected reliable partners.

API Access

Programmatic queries for integration into your applications. Check counterparty reputation, retrieve attestation history, and calculate trust paths. REST and GraphQL interfaces available.

Query Examples

# Get entity reputation summary
query ReputationSummary($address: Address!) {
  entity(address: $address) {
    completedContracts
    attestationRate
    trustScore
    firstCompletion
    recentCompletions(limit: 10)
  }
}

# Check trust path between entities
query TrustPath($from: Address!, $to: Address!) {
  trustPath(from: $from, to: $to) {
    exists
    pathLength
    intermediaries
    pathStrength
  }
}

Selective Disclosure

You control what's visible. Default privacy settings reveal only aggregate metrics. Enable disclosure of specific completions for detailed due diligence. Grant temporary access for specific verification purposes.
