ZeruAI

Your reputation is your gateway to onchain deals. Yields. Airdrops. Rewards. Access. zPass waitlists are now open! And today, zScore goes live on @Etherscan. Reputation has officially entered the chain.

@sridharfyi - behavioral trust farms - the “identity optional” people - people hungry, food wasted currently - fertilizer

@Rubyto @blendino Today it’s mostly proxies like followers, impressions, engagement and all easy to game. That’s why InfoFi broke down. Zeru is focused on a different signal: verifiable onchain behavior tied to real outcomes.

@blendino How do you measure it today though? InfoFi was part of the answer but it got gamed and monetised, which led to its death. Today, a lot of it is faked (followers, impressions,etc.). Reputation on X is very superficial atm.

Reputation is a key check and balance for people trading attention You see a creator or brand, get enticed by their virality, yet hold off because they are shady You find an underpriced creator or brand who is the best in their niche, and bet they are next up

@blendino Agree. That gap between attention and trust is exactly what onchain reputation is meant to solve and it’s what Zeru is building toward.

@0xluude yes, it started with turtle club killing traditional LM campaigns. we need to bring them back, with a small tweak - long term aligned behavior fixing this with our onchain capital network

I can’t believe this needs to be said out loud TVL deals are one of the biggest issues with this industry They are virtually off chain private liquidity mining programs that incentivise the most value extractive insta dumpoors around At least with traditional LM campaigns it was fair for everyone to participate plus you have the retail believers who farm your tokens and become champions or bag holders In the current set up these private LPs don’t give a shit about you, your token or the health of your ecosystem. It is purely transactional and extractive If you build something worthwhile the liquidity will come. I guess this is the issue bc why do we need another chain with another aave fork to facilitate more fake Ethena looping

@ZypZapCommunity it ll show in the behavior, if you gamed behavior

The oracle angle makes sense for tracking real contribution. What's stopping someone from gaming the behavior signals early on?

Building creator economy onchain from first principles. Attention --> Attribution --> Incentives Trust oracles solve this. Reach out to us to be amongst the first curators on Zaps - the behavior-centric Capital Allocation Network (CAN).

@StaniKulechov And eventually every bank will need an onchain reputation layer for risk, trust, and capital access.

Every bank will have crypto custody. Every bank will access to DeFi.

@73lV_ Your onchain reputation will help changing your life. Billions in incentives get distributed every year, the next meta is proving who actually deserves them.

web3 will change your life.

@jessepollak And we’re building the onchain reputation layer for the agentic economy.

agents will transact more than humans base is making sure the payment rails are ready for them

@binji_x Airdrop farmers were never the problem. Protocols just never had a good way to measure loyalty and contribution.

What’s your most contrarian take?

@taiyoo And crypto marketing without product eventually just becomes noise.

hot take: crypto marketing without humor and fun is like a pizza without cheese (ew)

@Langerius Can’t even disagree tbh. A lot of crypto lost the community conviction that made 2020–21 special. We’re trying to bring that back through community-first distribution tied to real onchain participation.

top 3 reasons crypto interest keeps fading this year: 1- oct 10. after that day everyone ran, massive losses were taken, and no one paid the price 2- ai. all vcs, whales, capital, they all redirected their cash flow to ai 3- pumpfun, kaito, binance alpha ...

@_clemens__ And the next step is rewarding the users who actually stick around for that utility. Zeru measures which users actually stay, contribute, and build reputation over time.

The last years in crypto have clearly shown, liquidity follows utility Focus on building utility

@BR4ted Have you minted your zScore yet? Your onchain reputation passport. app.zaps.wtf

NFTs for life.

@_Craig_ The communities still active without incentives are probably the ones building the strongest onchain reputation. Mint your onchain reputation passport early. app.zaps.wtf

What projects, teams, and communities are doing more for NFTs than anyone gives them credit for? Not on about the loudest or ones farming engagement every day... I'm talking about the builders still shipping and communities still active with no incentives. I love collecting NFTs. But I don't love how a lot of this space still rewards attention more than actual substance. Always bullish on builders. Who deserves more respect? Tag them... projects, founders, builders, or anyone contributing in a good way.

@shivst3r Exactly. Large creators, emerging curators, traders, farmers, DeFi users, even AI agents, everyone will eventually need an onchain reputation layer. Mint your zScore early. app.zaps.wtf

There's no such thing as a wasted year in crypto if you're paying attention. Every bad trade, wrong call, or every time the market humbled you, all of it teaches you something that makes the next run easier. The people who'll continue to win here are the ones who lost, understood why, and came back 10x better. I've had shit months that felt like complete write-offs, but looking back, they're the reason I don't make those same mistakes anymore. Short term pain, long term gain.

@0xAirr A lot of this changes when distribution is tied to onchain reputation and long-term behavior instead of short-term hype.

Two sides of a coin If Mega had performed well, the narrative would’ve been : -With only 5–6% float, supply squeeze was obvious -First chain to actually do 100k TPS -Didn’t even pay CEXs for listing -USDM mechanics are revolutionary -KPI system was very smart -Best community in crypto The otherside (current scenario) : -In this bearish market,the selloff was obvious -It’s just an L2 -Who needs 100k TPS lol -Zero utility -The TVL was inflated -Fluffle upcoming token will be sell pressure -Predeposit campaign was a flop Funny how everything looks obvious after it has already played out

@wyckoffweb And the next unlock is rewarding the users who actually stay and help those ecosystems grow long term.

This might be one of the stupidest things I’ll say today. But I genuinely think devs/builders are the most important people in web3. Even more important than users? Yes. And that’s the stupid part. But this is also why it’s not stupid: Ethereum became Ethereum because people built things that gave users reasons to stay. If @haydenzadams didn’t build Uniswap, a big part of DeFi culture would probably not have formed the way it did. If @aave didn’t push lending and borrowing onchain, many people would not have understood why “money markets” on Ethereum mattered. If @opensea didn’t give NFTs a simple marketplace layer, a lot of the 2021 NFT wave would have looked very different. Same thing with Solana. A lot of users didn’t come to Solana because they read the whitepaper. They came because apps, wallets, NFT markets, memecoins, trading tools, and consumer products gave them something to Interact with. @MagicEden helped make Solana NFTs feel real. @phantom made using Solana feel simple. @JupiterExchange made trading on Solana feel natural. These were not just apps. They were entry points. That is why I always pay attention to what people are building on a chain before I judge the chain itself. Users create activity. But builders create the reason for that activity. No builders, no real ecosystem. Just an empty chain waiting for people who have no reason to come. Because users don’t just wake up and love a chain. They love what they can do on it.

@0xNairolf And wallets eventually become reputation layers too. Your wallet history says way more about you than your profile bio ever will.

every time i look at wallets i feel like they are a massive missed opportunity they have the distribution + they are the first touchpoint for almost everyone entering crypto they should evolve into full financial super apps and not just places to hold tokens
