Do We Really Know Who Is Behind an Online Identity?
Building the infrastructure for human trust on the internet.
Creating an online account is easy. Proving there is a real person behind that identity is much harder. Our technology adds a second layer of trust built on verified email, real human relationships and a trust score.

3 Core Signals
Verified Identity • Human Relationships • Trust Score
A Fake Identity Can Become
a Real-World Threat
Creating an online account is easy. Proving there is a real person behind that identity is much harder. This gap is exploited at scale through fake identities, bots and impersonation.
Sexual Exploitation
Fake identities can approach vulnerable people, build trust and exploit them.
Scams Targeting Vulnerable People
Elderly, lonely and financially vulnerable people can be deliberately targeted by people hiding behind fake identities.
Bots & Fake Accounts
One attacker can operate hundreds or thousands of accounts that appear to be different people.
Impersonation & Fraud
Fake identities can imitate friends, companies, recruiters, sellers and trusted individuals.
The Internet Has Verification. It Needs Trust.
“Can we help the internet know who is actually behind an online identity — before trust is given to the wrong person?”
Traditional verification can establish control over an account or identity. Our approach adds another layer: evidence that a person is connected to other real people and has built trusted history over time.
A Second Layer of
Trust for Online Identity
We create a second layer of trust around an online identity. Instead of asking only “Is this account verified?”, our system asks “Can we build evidence that there is a real person behind this identity?”

Existing Solutions Verify Identity. We Add Human Trust.
| Existing Approach | What It Does | What It Misses |
|---|---|---|
| ID Verification | Checks ID documents, face and identity | Doesn’t show whether other people genuinely know the person |
| Phone / Email Verification | Checks account control | Doesn’t prove the person is trustworthy |
| Bot Detection | Detects automated/suspicious accounts | Mainly focuses on bad behaviour |
| Fraud Detection | Detects suspicious transactions | Often reacts to risk rather than building long-term trust |
| Our Trust Network | Builds evidence through verified identity, human relationships and trust history | Creates an additional trust signal |
We don’t just ask “Can we verify this account?” We ask “Can we build evidence that this is a real person who is known and trusted by other real people?”
