Zeugh presented Trustful was making strides in enhancing badge functionality for communities and spaces. Two distinct views are now available:
Admin View: Allows admins to create new badge types, issue gated badges, and manage attendee check-in/out.
Attendee View: Enables users to grant badges to others, view their own badges, and log in through Scroll for session access.
The team is focusing on Cypher House badge definitions and advancing a scalable, trustless protocol architecture targeted for Q2 2025. Key developments include:
A single protocol supporting multiple products
Badge import from external systems for on-chain utility
Privacy and performance enhancements using zkSnarks and off-chain storage options

Jesse provided insights into the implementation of the Transitive Trust protocol and the development of a Discord bot for user interaction. Community Graphs is enhancing Transitive Trust through Community Nodes, where nodes are either users or communities assigning weighted trust based on membership levels and peer ratings. The algorithm is live, and simulations of large social graphs are underway to refine trust dynamics.
Additionally, a Discord Bot now lets users interact with CG directly in Discord, manage pseudonyms, and claim ownership—all without leaving the platform. Plans for a similar Telegram Bot are in progress to further boost accessibility.
