What is AI Reputation Proof?
🧠 What is ARP?
AI Reputation Proof (ARP) is SocialBlock’s custom consensus mechanism designed for the next generation of decentralized, reputation-aware ecosystems. It replaces raw token-based power with a hybrid model that weights on-chain reputation, AI-evaluated behavior, and stake to determine validator eligibility, voting rights, and block production authority.
ARP makes SocialBlock the first blockchain where consensus is secured not just by capital — but by trust, contribution, and intelligent verification.
🧩 Why ARP?
Traditional consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS, DPoS) focus on resource control — electricity, tokens, or voting. But in social environments, trust is the resource.
ARP was developed to:
Eliminate sybil attacks and stake-farming behaviors
Prevent plutocracy in governance and validation
Enable communities to earn consensus power through contribution
Embed AI agents as neutral, adaptive judges of social signal quality
Make SocialFi secure, dynamic, and equitable
🧱 ARP Components
ARP is composed of five integrated layers, working together on-chain and off-chain:
[ Identity Layer ]
→ [ AI Agent Layer ]
→ [ Reputation Score System ]
→ [ Validator Engine ]
→ [ CometBFT + Block Proposal Logic ]Last updated
