yes! Spam is real and every stranger could be a spammer. Decentralised trust is the cornerstone of our work. Big topic 25 years ago around the Pagerank patent time. Now we are one of the last remaining academic teams on this topic. We deployed a decentralised trust algorithm based on the interaction graph to 94k people, see [1]. Theoretical foundations are based on proving that the Harvard impossibility result against Sybil attacks made too strict assumptions, [2]. Leading to trust scores with resilience against fake identities: MeritRank [3]. This is being released in first version in this…

See the latest 2022 algorithm called MeritRank [1]. Improves on the prior work developed together with Harvard. We deployed roughly 5 generation in the past 17 years. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09950
