🛠 Graphite Network Reputation Hackathon

🔥 About the Hackathon

The Graphite Network Reputation Hackathon is a builder-first competition focused on innovation in on-chain trust, decentralized compliance, and modular identity infrastructure.

This event is for developers, hackers, and product builders who want to shape a more secure, credible, and scalable blockchain ecosystem — with real use cases in privacy, security, identity, and finance using Graphite’s native reputation infrastructure.

Throughout the event, we’ll host AMAs, technical sessions, and provide developer support to help you bring ideas to life.

Let’s turn ideas into working code.

🧱 About Graphite Network

Graphite Network is a reputation-based PoA Polymer 2.0 Layer 1 blockchain designed to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). With a focus on compliance, privacy, and on-chain trust, Graphite provides a foundation for building next-generation Web3 applications.

Each user account on Graphite follows a "One User – One Account" policy and carries a verifiable on-chain Trust Score — a metric based on behavioral activity and KYC verification. This reputation layer supports Sybil resistance, access control, and fraud reduction — all without exposing personal data.

The network includes optional KYC verification powered by zero-knowledge proofs and supports custom KYC filters, enabling developers to define rules for interaction based on user verification levels.

Graphite also features tagged addresses for operational clarity and reputation-based smart contracts that adapt logic based on a user’s trust profile.

Unlike most blockchains, entry-point nodes on Graphite earn income from user activity, creating a sustainable economic model for builders and infrastructure providers.

Perfect for developers interested in building compliant, trust-driven, and privacy-aware dApps — Graphite offers a powerful base layer for reputation-first innovation.
