DID-based reviews • Reputation-backed insurance • Zero fraud, y'all

How Community Assurance Works

🆔

DID-Based Identity

Verifiable Reviews

Reviews cryptographically signed to your DID. Can't be faked, can't be bought. Your reputation follows you everywhere.

💰

Assurance Pool

Community-funded insurance pool. High-trust members stake tokens to back transactions. Get burned? Get reimbursed.

📝

❌ Traditional Review Systems

  • • Fake accounts flood platforms
  • • Businesses buy 5-star reviews
  • • Competitors post fake 1-star reviews
  • • No way to verify reviewer is real
  • • Reviews can be deleted/manipulated
  • • No accountability for false claims

✅ DID-Verified Reviews

  • • Every review tied to verified DID
  • • Cryptographically signed (tamper-proof)
  • • Can't buy or fake reviews
  • • Reviewer reputation on the line
  • • Permanent blockchain record
  • • False reviews = reputation hit

Reputation-Backed Assurance Pool

Community members stake their reputation to insure transactions

How the Assurance Pool Works

1️⃣
High-Trust Members Stake

DIDs with trust scores above 4.5 can stake ATX tokens into the community insurance pool.

2️⃣
Transactions Get Protected

Buyers can opt-in to "Trade Insurance" for a small fee (typically 2-3% of transaction value).

3️⃣
Disputes Get Resolved

If something goes wrong, community arbitrators (randomly selected high-trust DIDs) review the case.

4️⃣
Pool Pays Out

If buyer was wronged, assurance pool reimburses them. Bad seller loses reputation permanently.

Texus's Take: Why This Beats Traditional Platforms

Look, y'all: On traditional marketplaces like Craigslist or Facebook, you're rolling the dice. Fake sellers, scammers, no recourse when things go sideways. That ain't how Austin does business.

Here's the deal: Every person on Texus has a verifiable DID tied to their real reputation. You can see their history, their vouches, their reviews - and it's all cryptographically secured. Can't fake it, can't buy it, can't delete it.

The insurance pool? That's pure Hill Country ingenuity. Instead of some faceless corporation taking fees and keeping the money, our own community members stake their reputation to back trades. They earn a cut of insurance fees, and they've got skin in the game to keep the community honest.

It's like a handshake deal at a BBQ joint, but backed by blockchain. Keep Austin weird, keep Austin trustworthy. 🤘

Why Web5? Why Now?

Learn how Web5 gives YOU control, y'all

No corporate BS • Just facts about owning your digital life

😡

Web2 Bullshit

  • Your data is their product. Facebook, Google, Twitter sell your info to advertisers.
  • They control everything. Delete your account? Your photos, connections, memories - gone.
  • No portability. Can't take your Instagram followers to Twitter. You're locked in.
  • Privacy invasion. They track you across the web, sell your location, read your DMs.
  • Algorithm manipulation. They decide what you see, who you connect with, what's "trending."
😎

Web5 Freedom

  • YOU own your data. Stored in YOUR decentralized vault, encrypted with YOUR keys.
  • Take it anywhere. Your DID works across any Web5 app. One identity, infinite platforms.
  • No corporate overlords. Peer-to-peer connections. No company in the middle taking a cut.
  • Real privacy. Share only what YOU choose to share, with who YOU choose.
  • No algorithms. See what your community actually posts, not what maximizes ad revenue.

Why Web5 Matters for Austin

🎸 Keep Austin Independent

Austin's culture is built on independence - from our music scene to our food trucks to our "Keep Austin Weird" ethos. Web5 brings that same independence to your digital life. No Silicon Valley company should control how Austinites connect with each other.

💰 Support Local, Cut Out Corporate Middlemen

Ever sold something on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist? They track everything you do, serve you ads, and harvest your data. Ever booked something on Airbnb or Uber? They take 15-25% of your money.

With Web5 peer-to-peer commerce, you connect directly. Zero platform fees. Your money goes to your neighbor, not a corporation.

🔐 Privacy is a Right, Not a Privilege

Big Tech companies make billions selling your data. Your location, your habits, your conversations, your photos - they monetize everything. Web5 flips the script: YOU control your data, YOU decide who sees what, YOU own your digital identity.

🤝 Build Real Community, Not Engagement Metrics

Social media algorithms prioritize outrage and engagement to sell more ads. They don't care about authentic community. Web5 platforms have no profit motive - just real people connecting for real reasons.
