Metacert Protocol
Metacert Protocol, Decentralizing trust and reputation for the Web. Creators of Cryptonite. We see a world where you feel safe opening a link. We envision our solution, known as the MetaCert Protocol as an additional layer to the Internet Protocol Stack. It can sit between the Internet and the Web or it can be integrated within hardware or software that sits on top of the Internet. It’s impossible for a single cyber security company to scale the submission and validation of domain name ownership and other Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) such as bots, wallet addresses, apps, and social media accounts across the entire Web. Existing crowdsourced trust and reputation initiatives for the Web haven't been successful, and we need participation from the community to help trust and reputation become ubiquitous. The blockchain allows us to shift our centralized database to a decentralized registry. The Protocol features built-in game mechanics, rewarding participants with Tokens for submitting and validating the categorization of URIs. This incentivized system is the heart of the Protocol. In addition to rewarding participants, the Token will help mitigate the risk of bad actors trying to spoil the quality of the registry.
