#trstd. The trust infrastructure for People, Brands and AI.

In the age of AI, trust must be verifiable.
#trstd is the open trust infrastructure that enables people, brands and AI to identify each other, exchange verifiable trust signals and interact with confidence.

Access to the trust infrastructure is free and remains free. Trust is earned, never bought. Paid plans add advanced services.

AI has exposed a funda­mental truth. Digital Trust must be verifiable.

A
AI is becoming the first point of contact between people and brands.

AI searches, filters, recommends, grants access and increasingly acts on behalf of people and brands. It shapes which brands are found, which information is trusted and which actions are taken.

B
Fake websites, fake identities and AI‑amplified deception are harder to detect.

Phishing and brand impersonation mislead people and create doubt around legitimate brands. AI agents can be fooled too by fake reviews and fake identities. When anything can look real, doubt spreads.

C
When fakes scale industrially, what’s real loses visibility in the noise.

People, Brands and AI need trust they can verify and act on. Otherwise, what is false scales, while what is real disappears beneath it. #trstd provides the shared trust layer that lets all three interact with confidence.

Trust only works when it goes both ways. Mutual, and verifiable.

Questions about #trstd?

#trstd is the open trust infrastructure for People, Brands and AI. It makes identity, behaviour and reputation verifiable, so all three can identify each other, exchange verifiable trust signals and interact with confidence.
People who want to know what’s real, Brands that want to be verifiable to People and AI, and AI operators whose agents need a verifiable identity and a portable reputation.
Trust starts with verified identity. Each verified interaction adds evidence, and consistently trustworthy behaviour builds reputation over time. Identity, Behavior and Reputation together make trust verifiable.
Each side checks the other and is checked in return. People see who operates an agent and what it may do; AI reads verified Brand identity and access terms; Brands assess agent identity, authority and reputation to decide access.
Operators register each agent, establish its persistent identity and receive credentials. With #trstd <protocol>, agents present verifiable identity and mandates, and earn context-specific access based on behaviour.
Yes. Core participation is free for People, Brands and AI. Membership is the primary relationship; tools, services and documentation support it.
No. Paid services add control, assurance and protection. Never a better trust status. Reputation has to be built, interaction by interaction. It cannot be bought.
Identities, interactions and trust data are protected by design, and Brands can verify a person without needing unnecessary personal data. See Security & Privacy for the full picture.
The foundation is standards-first and protocol-neutral: HTTPS, Web Bot Auth, TSAI and Verifiable Credentials, alongside decentralised identifiers and agent protocols such as MCP and A2A.
They continue and become part of the trust layer. The Trustmark and Buyer Protection remain, with Trustbadge AI+ making trust verifiable on your site for agentic commerce.
