Bazar now uses Vouch to prevent sybil attacks on the UCM orderbook. This update improves platform performance and limits bot accounts from farming $PIXL tokens. In this post, I’ll dive into the details of the integration, explain how Vouch works, and how users benefits from it.
Key Details
Vouch Points required: 2 points
When Vouch is needed: Only for building a PIXL streak
Non-Vouched wallets: Can still upload and trade on UCM
What changes with this update?
To earn $PIXL reward tokens, users now need a vouched wallet. $PIXL tokens are earned by maintaining a buying streak on the UCM (Universal Content Marketplace). Each day a streak is maintained, $PIXL tokens are sent to your profile.
Note: $PIXL is a rewards token and does not necessarily have financial value. Learn more about $PIXL here.
What does not change?
Users can still use the UCM for:
What is Vouch?
Vouch is an open-source reputation system built on AO that generates a “humanity score” for each user by analyzing key data points. This score incorporates:
AO ecosystem data
Ethereum blockchain activity
Web2 social presence
Benefits of Vouch
Verifies genuine users for enhanced security and better experiences.
Enables features like prioritized rewards for high scores.
Encourages positive user behavior and promotes a healthier ecosystem.
Bazar, Llama Land, and Permaverse currently use vouch scores for eligibility checks. Any permaweb app can integrate Vouch using the developer docs.
How to earn Vouch Points
Vouch X
Verify your identity via Twitter/X. Points are awarded based on account criteria like registration date and usage. Each Twitter account can only be used once.
Vouch Gitcoin Passport
The Gitcoin Passport aggregates blockchain activity, social profiles, and KYC services into a humanity score.
Vouch AO balance
AR holders and bridgers of stETH and DAI have been accumulating AO tokens since early 2024. This balance can vouch wallets until AO becomes tradable (~Feb 2025). See your AO balance here.
Stake wAR
Make up the last few points by staking wAR to earn points based on the amount of wAR and staking duration. Tokens are securely stored in a custody contract and can be withdrawn after the lock period.
Conclusion
This integration improves platform performance and enhances the user experience for genuine Bazar users. Since Bazar and AO are still on testnet, expect more updates as we refine these features.

AOction House
The founders of the DumDumz NFT collection have created an auction house tool that allows DumDumz holders to list and bid on their favorite assets. This opens up more opportunities for people to become part of the DumDumz community.
Holders of these assets gain access to exclusive experiences like the Dumverse game. Currently, the AOAuction House is limited to DumDumz assets, but the team plans to expand it to enable listing and bidding for any assets on Bazar.
