# Decentralized identity and reputation tools

{% hint style="info" %}
**\[Creator Domain]**

These tools are maintained by [the Hypha DHO](https://explore.joinseeds.earth/7.-take-action-with-the-commons-organisations/the-hypha-dao-dho/).
{% endhint %}

Members use decentralized identity tools such as [SEEDS Web of Trust](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C4w9Ol8VGabCIcQDVPDrwcTRoJXBqhrb7VjslwQbUGU/edit#heading=h.vc7nql4s6ww8) to build unique Member ID’s, without the need to rely on the legacy game identifications systems (Nation State ID, Passports, etc) to mitigate proxy (fake account) attacks.

This tool helps Members more equitably and accurately distribute voice and value amongst **real people** (protect the network from fake accounts) and helps Members build complex and reputable profiles for establishing trust amongst other Members that carry with them across the various applications of SEEDS.

#### **Notes:** 

1. *Today companies want users’ data to be stored on their network alone. This creates dependencies on that business, for example building up a good reputation on a selling or sharing site that you would lose if you went to another site. Within SEEDS all rights, abilities and reputation gained are part of your account and carry with you across all the applications within SEEDS (and becoming more compatible across other blockchains and ecosystems as well).*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://explore.joinseeds.earth/5.-economic-tools/tools-for-regenerative-economic-systems/organizational-tools-basic-building-blocks/decentralized-identity-and-reputation-tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
