Web3 Credit: Onchain Reputation and the Future of Credit Scores

The traditional credit score was built for one kind of borrower. Web3.credit looks at what comes next: reputation you can carry, prove and control.

What you will find here

Onchain reputation: how a record of repayments and activity can follow a wallet instead of a file at a bureau.
Decentralized identity: proving who you are without handing over everything about you.
Who it helps: first-time borrowers, freelancers and newcomers who are invisible to the old system.

Our promise

Fair access to credit is one of the best ideas Web3 ever had. We cover it honestly: the real progress, the open problems, and the privacy questions nobody should skip.

Credit, Rebuilt in Six Steps

Web3.credit looks at onchain reputation and decentralized identity, and what they could mean for people the old credit system leaves out.

A traditional score is built from your borrowing history held by credit bureaus. No history often means no score, even for people who always pay their bills.

Credit score

Every repayment on a public blockchain leaves a permanent record. Some lenders look at a wallet's history to judge whether it repays reliably.

Onchain reputation

Decentralized identity lets you hold credentials yourself and share only what is needed, such as proving you are over 18 without showing your birth date.

Decentralized identity

Most crypto loans require more collateral than the loan. Reputation-based lending tries to lend with less, which works only if the borrower's record is trustworthy.

Under-collateralized loan

A public record can be read by anyone. Linking your identity to a wallet can reveal your full financial history, so share with care.

Public ledger

Onchain credit is still young. It shows promise for people shut out of the old system, but no onchain score replaces a bureau report for most loans today.
