Proof of Honor · x402

$0.01 — pay-per-vouch. A high-integrity matchmaking layer where players pay to submit peer reviews and developers pay to query the 'Karma' API. By attaching a micro-cost to reputation, you eliminate sybil attacks and bot-spam, ensuring that only skin-in-the-game sentiment defines a player's standing. No free reports, no fake fluff.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the community trust engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so game designers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveFree reputation systems are gamed by bots and 'revenge reporting.' x402 turns the reputation ledger into a high-signal economic filter. The micropayment acts as a proof-of-intent, making 'Community Trust' a tangible asset that costs real USDC to build or query.
