Last week we hosted a space about agent trust. Two builders, two angles on the same problem.

Brian from Lagrange builds ZK proofs for AI - his take: most trust systems give you permission, not proof.

Isaac from Doppel Games builds agent vs agent gaming - his take: agents control wallets but nobody can see how decisions are made.

We cut the best moments. Watch: here with Brian and here with Isaac

Base - $17T in volume, 140+ countries, no token. But the trust infrastructure is already being built. Quietly, layer by layer.

We broke down each layer + got a comment from Steve Dakh (Co-Founder of Ethereum Attestation Service, Ethereum Founding Member):

"Attestations run through the whole thing. Identity, sybil checks, reputation - it's all attestations accumulated over time."

Yesterday we shared Haseeb's take: reputation should change incentives before the drop, not after.

But it goes beyond drops.
> Every new platform, every new community - you start from zero. Your history doesn't travel.
> Years of contributions, ratings, connections - locked inside platforms that don't talk to each other.

REP is changing that.
Connect your wallets, your socials, your activity.
Carry your trust profile everywhere.

We're launching a research and education initiative focused on digital trust - from AI agents to reputation systems to the future of the internet. The space REP operates in.

We hosted a space on agent trust. One moment stood out.

Before agents can trust each other, two things have to be true.

The rails can't be owned by someone who can kick you off them. Joanna from Billions on the cage of platform-mediated trust:

And the game your agent walks into can't be one where everyone else has a ten-year head start on cheating. Rahul head of AI Li.Fi (former Nasa, Tesla) on what onchain markets actually look like from an agent's side of the table:

Who's actually online?

Every platform assumes its users are people. Most aren't.
We built the social web for humans and handed it to bots.

Now we're building the next internet on top of that broken foundation.

What does it look like to actually fix this?
Five operators who ship against this problem daily:

- Danny: Head of Growth at REP
- Danny H Brown: COO at Bankr
- JacekL:Founder at DEGEN
- Kimmo: Head of Product at Lens
- Igor Yuzovitskiy: DevRel at Bankr

"The rails are built for humans, and now there are bots. Do we fix what's been built before, or just start over?"

Our head of growth Danny opens last week's space with the binary nobody wants to pick.

49.6% of internet traffic is bots. X is purging 1.7M reply-spam accounts in a single week.

The defenses keep upgrading. The bots keep winning.

Maybe we've been fighting the wrong thing. "Human or bot?" was the right question in 2015 when CAPTCHA worked.

In 2026 LLMs pass CAPTCHA better than people, and a well-funded agent reads more "human" than half your timeline.

The real question is different. Reputation as a stack of weighted, expensive-to-fake actions. Local trust ("trusted by my world?") and global trust ("verified anywhere?"). Both beat asking whether you breathe.

We broke this down with Bankr, Lens, and DEGEN:
https://x.com/rep_hq/status/2049534427974213990

Wrapped up April and we surprised ourselves with how it came together.

A few metrics hit new highs, and REP is now consistently ranking at the top of major platforms.

In parallel, we stepped into a conversation that will redefine what "trust on the internet" means over the next year.

The Internet Forgot Who You Are: a piece on why reputation online is broken by design: 8 problems, 4 levels, one architecture.

From history locked inside platforms to trust collapsing into closed bubbles.

TON is entering a new chapter: cheaper fees, stronger validators, more builders shipping.

Airdrops and incentive campaigns are going to be a big part of it. REP is ready to help teams run them well.

We powered the airdrop for the #1 sticker collection on TON. 90% of the richest Telegram Gift holders are already connected to REP.

DMs open: @dannytook and @RizwanAli7

Agents are getting better at acting. The next frontier is getting them to work together.

Сarson from Recall x REP: what's actually working, and what comes next.

History is locked. Your network is invisible. Signals are empty. Trust collapsed.

Each level is a consequence of the previous one.

The piece is up:

Agents are ready to work. The question is who vouches for them.

Going live with Carson from Recall today at 3pm UTC.

TON is entering a new chapter. Cheaper fees, stronger validators, builders shipping. A lot of good conversations to be had.

0.5% chat is where a lot of those conversations happen. Builders, OGs, sharp folks who've done real things in Telegram.

Come join us: https://t.me/+whHSaqor6DZhNTFk

Bonus: @repcoinbot shows your Telegram REP. Next-gen projects use it to find and reward active folks, fun to check.

"Software is no longer static tooling. It's becoming active participants."

The questions crypto spent a decade asking about humans now apply to LLMs.

Сarson from Recall on the thesis behind Recall:

"All the things crypto asked about humans and institutions this whole time - it now applies to these non-deterministic LLM agents."

Trust. Incentives. Verification. Reputation. Coordination. Observability.

Same toolkit. New subjects.

"Every six months is six years in past-world time."

Not one persistent agent. A swarm.
