This might not look like much, but I have successfully integrated NIP-85 Trusted Assertions into my verification process. Any #nostr #safebox user will be able to decide what root authorities they trust, and what trusted assertion providers they use.

This allows anyone to decide how they wish to verify records (which is configured as safebox user parameters). It's one thing to know that a record is cryptographically valid, but it's an entirely different thing to know if the owner is actually authorized to issue the record, and what their reputation is. This is where the Web of Trust (#WoT) fits in.

This prototype was built as a result of the @nprofile1q... #Wotathon. It's still early, but I have proven to myself the necessary mechanisms to build a decentralized trust infrastructure that can't be captured by a platform vendor or nation state.

In the example below, you can see the green checkmarks, and the WoT Scores.

Onward!
