Invitations

Each Trust Card holder receives a number of invitations to onboard new members into the ecosystem.
Invitations are a key mechanism for controlled growth and for building the trust graph.

How Invitations Work​

  • The first holders of Wave 1 receive their cards as a direct offer.
  • Invitations begin after this initial distribution.
  • Invitations are limited.
  • They can be unlocked gradually over time, or once the holder reaches a certain trust score.
  • When sending an invitation, the holder may also choose to trust the invited person.
  • The invitee can then trust back, creating a reciprocal connection.
  • Receiving an invitation unlocks access to the Minting Ceremony → it is the gateway to minting a chest (or relic).

Multiple Invitations to the Same Person​

  • If several people invite the same user:
    • The first invitation is flagged as already sent.
    • However, the user can still establish trust relationships with the other inviters.

👉 This ensures that trust links can still form even if the invitation slot is already consumed.

Connection with Waves​

  • Each wave distributes a limited number of cards.
  • With each card comes invitations, allowing holders to expand the network.
  • 👉 For more context on rarity and supply per wave, see the Waves tutorial.

  • The invitation system directly feeds into the Trust Graph:

    • Who invited whom
    • Who trusted back
    • How reputation flows
    • ...

  • Beyond trusting invitees, holders can also trust the inviters themselves, as well as other card holders.

  • Invitations may also be tied to specific domains of trust (e.g. Development, NFTs, Security, Social, ...).

    • These domains are connected to both the Trust Graph and the Reputation Checker, making trust contextual and measurable across different fields.

📌 Summary​

  • Wave 1 cards are distributed as a direct offer.
  • After that, invitations drive expansion of the community.
  • Invitations are scarce, tied to trust scores and time-based unlocks.
  • An invitation opens the door to minting a chest or relic.
  • They form the links of the trust graph, connected to domains of trust and the reputation checker.
