Reputation Passport
A portable trust score that travels with you across every platform. Never start from zero again. Your verified reputation, everywhere you go online. Reputation Passport is a portable trust identity that carries your verified reputation across every platform on the internet.
What Is Reputation Passport?
Reputation Passport is a portable trust identity that carries your verified reputation across every platform on the internet. Today, when you join a new marketplace, social network, dating app, or freelance platform, you start with zero reputation - zero reviews, zero history, zero trust. Every platform treats you as a stranger regardless of the reputation you have built elsewhere.
Reputation Passport changes this by creating a universal trust credential backed by your PoY Identity and Trust Score. When you join a new platform, your verified reputation travels with you. Buyers can see you are a trusted seller. Employers can see you are a verified professional. Community members can see you are a real, established human being.
Why Reputation Should Be Portable
The current model of platform-specific reputation is broken:
- Lock-in - Platforms use your reputation as a retention mechanism. Leave Uber and lose your 4.9 rating. Leave Airbnb and lose your Superhost status. Your reputation is held hostage.
- Cold start problem - Every new platform requires you to build trust from scratch. An eBay seller with 10,000 positive reviews starts at zero on Mercari. A Fiverr freelancer with 500 five-star reviews starts at zero on Upwork.
- Fraud vulnerability - New accounts with no history are treated equally whether they belong to legitimate users or fraudsters. This creates an opening for scammers who create fresh accounts specifically because they have no negative history.
- Manipulation - Platform-specific reputation can be gamed through fake reviews, bot-driven engagement, and review circles. Cross-platform reputation is much harder to manipulate because it aggregates signals from multiple independent sources.
How It Works
Verified Foundation
Your Reputation Passport is anchored to your PoY Identity - a biometric proof that you are a real, unique human. This foundation cannot be faked, duplicated, or transferred.
Multi-Signal Trust Score
Your trust score aggregates 6 verification signals (biometric, email, phone, device, voice, social) into a 0-100 score that reflects your verified trustworthiness.
Cross-Platform Portability
Platforms query your trust score via the POY API. One API call returns your score, verification signals, and account age. The platform decides how to use this data.
Privacy Preserving
Platforms see your trust score and verification status. They do not see your name, face, biometrics, or any personal information. Your reputation travels without your identity.
When Reputation Passport Helps
- Joining a new marketplace - Skip the probation period. Your verified trust score tells sellers and buyers you are established and trustworthy.
- Applying for freelance work - Clients can verify you are a real human with a track record, not a bot or scam account.
- Online dating - Your verification badge proves you are a real person. Your trust score proves you have established online presence.
- Community participation - Forums, Discord servers, and online communities can require a minimum trust score for posting, filtering out trolls and bots without manual moderation.
- Professional networking - Prove your credentials are backed by a verified human identity, not a fabricated LinkedIn profile.
How Platforms Integrate It
Integration takes a single API call. When a new user signs up with their PoY ID, the platform queries:
- Trust score - 0-100 composite score
- Verification signals - Which of the 6 signals are verified
- Account age - How long the PoY identity has existed
- Content stamps - How many pieces of content the user has stamped as human-made
The platform then applies its own business logic: skip onboarding friction for high-score users, apply standard flows for medium-score users, and add extra checks for low-score users. The result is less friction for trusted users and better fraud prevention for suspicious ones.

Does POY Verify store biometric or personal data?
No. POY Verify processes the biometric check inside the smartphone's Secure Enclave, a physically separate processor with its own encrypted memory. No biometric data leaves the device and no personal information is collected, so there is no central database of faces or IDs to breach. Only a public cryptographic key is registered with POY's verification registry, and the private key never leaves the phone.
How does POY Verify confirm a real human in about 30 seconds?
The phone's hardware sensors, including 3D depth cameras, infrared emitters, and motion detectors, confirm that a living person is physically present. A cryptographic key pair is then generated inside the Secure Enclave. The private key stays on the device and the public key is registered with POY's verification registry, so a platform can check that a verified human is on the other end without learning who that person is.
