Backing reputation
Assets committed to vouching on Base, including WHUF, as reported by Ethos on October 2, 2026. A point-in-time USD value that moves with asset prices.Ethos brought reputation onchain with Base, giving people a way to see who others trust before they transact. Reviews, financially backed vouches, and credibility scores make that history visible beyond a single app, so a reputation built in one place can help inform decisions in another.
Trust needs a track record
Before trying a restaurant, you might check Yelp. Before choosing a doctor, you might look at Zocdoc. Ethos applies that same instinct to crypto: see what other people say before deciding whom to trust. To make that context useful beyond one website, it needed a shared record that people and applications could access.
Why Base
For Ethos, Base’s connection to Coinbase mattered when choosing an infrastructure partner for the long term. Building reputation onchain also lets developers contribute to a shared record instead of starting a separate database. They can interact with Ethos’s contracts from their own interfaces, while its API makes credibility scores available inside other products. That gives the network a path beyond its own app, letting reputation reach users where decisions happen.
“Seeing Base next to Coinbase as a business made a lot of sense from an infrastructure partner perspective.”
Trevor Thompson
Co-founder and CEO, Ethos
What this enables
Users can review others and put funds behind the people they trust through vouching. Ethos’s human-verification product also lets people record attestations after meeting in person. That reputation can become useful elsewhere: Legion already displays Ethos scores on project pages, giving users another way to assess projects and their founders before participating in a token sale. For businesses building onchain, this shows how a shared reputation network can bring more context to customer interactions without asking users to start from zero in every app.

“Backing reputation” describes assets committed to vouching; it does not mean users, funds, or outcomes are guaranteed. Legion’s display of Ethos scores is not a measure of fraud prevented or investment performance. Yelp and Zocdoc are referenced for comparison only; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
