What is ViewCred?
ViewCred is ViewFT’s core credibility score, inspired by the classical Greek concept of Ethos — trust built through demonstrated character — ViewCred is ViewFT’s implementation of earned credibility.The Credit Score for Content
Think of ViewCred like a credit score — but for information credibility:- You can’t buy it — No amount of money or $VIEW tokens can purchase ViewCred
- You can’t transfer it — ViewCred is bound to your identity and cannot be traded
- You earn it slowly — Consistent, truthful, quality contributions build your score over time
- You can lose it quickly — Creating or distributing misleading content triggers ViewCred slashing
Why ViewCred Matters
Most platforms let you buy visibility through ads or token holdings. ViewFT is different. The algorithm recommends content from high-ViewCred creators because they’ve proven their credibility through behavior, not purchased it with capital. This creates a fundamentally fairer information ecosystem where new voices can rise based on the quality of their contributions, and established voices must maintain their standards or lose their reach.ViewCred Score Range
