Verified credentials
Institutions and participants contribute credential proofs (education, professional status, institutional recognition) with clear trust boundaries.
Proof of Status
PoST verifies identity with proof, not claims
PoST turns credentials into verifiable status signals that support rights-aligned governance while minimizing unnecessary private-data exposure.
Definition
PoST in one sentence
Proof of Status (PoST) is DRP’s identity verification mechanism: it encodes verified credentials and reputation signals so governance can weight participation based on verifiable status rather than authority or unverifiable claims.
How it’s used
Where PoST fits in the DRP protocol
Governance weighting
PoST outputs are used for governance weighting and access control so decisions can be rights-aligned and accountable.
AI-reviewed integrity
AI Elders help validate proof quality and detect anomalies, producing reviewable outputs for validators and councils.
Trust boundaries
PoST is designed to separate what’s verifiable from what’s not, making assumptions auditable and reducing fraud opportunities.
