Trust Score

Computable trust for every entity on every chain. The Trust Manifold is a structured score object returned by the Cencera Trust Protocol API, containing a composite probabilistic score and full metadata.

Composite Score (0 – 100)

A probabilistic trust score. 85 = strong evidence of safe behavior — not a guarantee. Scores are deterministic: given the same signals, model version, and timestamp the score is always the same. Every trust-based decision is therefore fully auditable.

80 – 100

High Trust

Strong evidence of safe behavior. Established history, consistent on-chain activity, no adverse signals.

50 – 79

Medium Trust

Moderate confidence. New entity, limited history, or minor adjacency to flagged activity.

< 50

High Risk

Adverse signals detected. Known exploits, suspicious behavioral patterns, or flagged entity adjacency.

Entity Taxonomy

The Trust Protocol scores five entity types, each with a dedicated scoring focus.

Entity TypeDescriptionScoring Focus
EOA (User Wallet)Externally owned accountTransaction patterns, approval behavior, exploit adjacency
Smart ContractHighest-risk entity typeBytecode, upgrade history, admin key patterns, behavior
Token (ERC-20/721/1155)Fungible & non-fungible assetsDistribution, liquidity, tax behavior, supply changes
NFT CollectionNon-fungible collectionsWash trading detection, marketplace authenticity
Protocol / DAppComposite protocol scoresAggregated scores from all constituent contracts

Signal Weight Matrix

Weights vary by entity type. Four signal domains contribute to every score.

Entity Lifecycle States

Nascent

< 72 hrs old or < 50 interactions. Limited score, clearly labeled low-confidence. Cold Start Pathway applies.

Active

Full scoring engine engaged across all applicable signal groups. All four domains contribute.

Flagged

Anomaly detected. Provisional score reduction applied. Entity queued for human review within 24 hours.

Archived

Dormant > 180 days. Score labeled stale. Automatically reactivates on new on-chain activity.
