a trust graph is a map of who vouches for who. people attest to each other, the graph computes trust scores, and influence flows to whoever the network actually trusts. go inactive and your influence decays.
trustgraphs are a type of web of trust, and web of trusts are extremely powerful: pagerank is a web of trust, it treats every link as a vote, weighted by trust. pagerank powers google search and google's ~$3t market cap rests on it.
@JakeHartnell built trustgraph, a trustless open source implementation. we're now wiring it into @gitcoin governance to solve a real problem: a large share of gtc voting power is delegated to me, the og founder.
the proposed fix: my delegated weight follows the trustgraph. it emits a delegation map, and my delegation syncs to it nightly. no tokens move, only voting power.
the proposed rollout:
0. now: wire into governance, launch new stewards cohort
1. dec 2026: the graph holds real power (~2m gtc, possibly a 12.5m gitcoin multisig too).
2. july 2027: the graph can outvote me. if it thinks i'm wrong, it wins.
the end state: the stewards cohort holds the power + steward the dao, and i'm one node in the graph like everyone else. trust that pooled in one founder gets rewoven into a living network.
one caveat: governing gitcoin is only worth doing if gitcoin has a product in market that people actually want. this timeline runs alongside a new product rollout. both ship together or neither matters.
the trust must flowwwwwWwwwwWwwww πππ
