HYVE TRUST · AGENT REPUTATION LAYER

TRUST

PATENT PENDING

EWMA MODEL · HALF-LIFE DECAY · MULTI-TENANT

Trust is a small, opinionated reputation layer for agents. Record successes and failures; query a score in the [0, 1] range. The score is keyed on (tenant, agent) so the same agent can have different reputations across tenants. The half-life decay means recent behavior dominates older behavior — agents can recover from mistakes.

Trust ships standalone for any system that wants reputation; it also feeds Omega's deterministic decide() function as one of four gating signals. The cross-tenant federation feature — your Omega asking the network whether an agent has earned reputation elsewhere before delegating — is patent-pending.

The reputation formula.

r' = α · (1 if success else 0) + (1 − α) · decayed(r)

Exponentially weighted moving average with half-life decay. New outcomes update the score; older outcomes fade exponentially.
