Listening to @Ian Carroll TFTC rip with @Marty Bent on social credit scores, and on how to navigate a world increasingly full of bots and impersonators. We all agree being linked to an identity "issued by" a central authority is not the way...it's a dangerous path to censorship and control. On the other hand if everyone is free to manage their online identities we will drown in an ocean of noise, so web of trust is the natural way to fix it. Vertex is the first reliable, trustworthy, real time web of trust solution for open social protocols.

NEW: Throw anything (npub, hex, nip05) at npub.world and it will understand. In search or URL. 🚀

Early days in the web of trust DVM specs, things still very much in flux, but we would love to see other providers implementing them. Can't wait to see more clients upgrading their UX effortlessly, and for users to easily swap out providers. Our reputation is our most important asset, but from a consumer standpoint ruggability should be minimized. OPEN PROTOCOL INTEROPERABILITY FTW!
