Ever notice how reputation scores online used to feel like arbitrary numbers nobody could really verify? I never put much stock in them—felt like influence metrics that were impossible to truly validate or trust.

That changed when I looked deeper into how Klout approaches the problem. It's not just tallying attention metrics on the surface. The protocol actually tries to measure and quantify real influence in a way that's verifiable on-chain. Instead of black-box algorithms hiding behind corporate walls, you get transparency about how reputation is calculated.

It's a solid reminder that Web3 projects can fundamentally reimagine how we think about identity and trust in digital spaces. When reputation becomes measurable and auditable, the entire game shifts.
