Reputation you can trust. Value you can earn.
The problem TrustMyGit solves
Problem 1: No mechanism to retain developers.
Hackathons and cohorts attract developers but fail to retain them.
There is no complete loop — no flywheel — to convert one-time contributors into loyalists.
this happens because there is no incentive to actually stop the contributors from leaving the ecosystem - once a hack or a cohort is over and the devs have their money they just switch and we need to have a way to prevent this switching and convert them into loyalist for the ecosystem
Problem 2: No trusted public metric for developer reputation.
Hiring and grants are slow, subjective, and heavily reliant on manual GitHub analysis.
There is no ecosystem-accepted reputation layer. — this means that there is no standarised metric to compare the developers universally or accorss an ecosystem
Problem 3: No meaningful way to monetise open-source reputation.
Even when developers build an outstanding track record doing open source contributions as the current model of open source is quite uunsustainable for the developer, there is no sustainable monetisation to support them and incentivise them to keep contributing to OSS — no economic upside tied to their identity.
Challenges we ran into
1. Verifying GitHub contribution data without trust assumptions
Ensuring developers cannot fake, manipulate, or selectively submit contribution data was a major challenge.
We needed a mechanism that proves the data truly came from GitHub — not from the user.
This required integrating zkTLS and designing a pipeline that is cryptographically verifiable end-to-end.
2. Designing a fair, ecosystem-agnostic reputation model
Every ecosystem values contributions differently (PRs, commits, issues, reviews).
We had to engineer a unified scoring system that:
works across all ecosystems,
reflects real effort,
resists gaming, and
stays transparent and verifiable.
Building this “universal reputation function” was one of the hardest conceptual tasks.
