I'd like to share a paper on a decentralized trust protocol I've been developing.
Project Falcon introduces a mathematical framework for subjective transitive trust with temporal decay and Sybil resistance, designed for the AT Protocol ecosystem but applicable to any decentralized node graph.
The core contribution is a trust scoring function that is:
- Subjective and transitive via weighted bridge aggregation
- Temporally decaying to force proof of continuous activity
- Sybil-resistant through non-linear tanh squashing
- Conflict-penalized via an entropy coefficient for divergent bridge reports
