# User Trust Levels

To help communities stay high-signal and spam-resistant, Common uses a flexible **Trust Level** system. These levels define what users and communities can do on the platform, and they help determine visibility, permissions, and moderation thresholds.

***

### What Are Trust Levels?

Trust Levels are a mix of **onchain** and **social signals** that determine how much a user or community can do across Common. They’re earned as you engage with the protocol, and in some cases they can be unlocked through subscriptions.

Admins can also set **thresholds** to flag or restrict low-trust users, keeping conversations safer and more productive.

### User Journey

Here’s how a typical user might progress through Trust Levels:

1. **Sign up and verify a wallet** → You start at Level 1
2. **Stick around for at least a week** → Your wallet ages into Level 2
3. **Connect your socials** → You reach Level 3, showing you’re real and reachable
4. **Engage onchain** → Launch a coin, claim a namespace, or fund a contest to hit Level 4
5. **Upgrade** → Unlock premium capabilities at Level 5 (coming soon)

At each step, your capabilities expand — from higher daily limits to greater visibility, trust, and AI access.

***

### What Users See

Your Trust Level appears on your **profile**. It impacts:

* Posting: Lower levels may need to complete captchas or see warnings before posting
* Feed visibility: Posts from lower levels are downweighted
* Spam control: Posts below community thresholds can be auto-flagged
* AI usage: Creation limits scale with trust level

***

### What Communities Can Do

Communities can use Trust Levels to **manage access and filter content**:

* **Spam controls**: Auto-flag or hide posts from low-trust users (example: wallets less than 1 week old or users without social accounts)
* **Visibility and curation** (coming soon): Trust Levels will influence post weight in feeds
* **Gating** (coming soon): Communities will be able to gate groups, spaces, or actions based on Trust Level

***

### Community Verification and Trust Mapping

Communities also have their own Trust Levels. These help signal credibility to users and unlock platform features.

* **Level 1 (Unverified)**: Community created, no verification
* **Level 2 (🌐 Social Verified)**: Verified via onchain social or manual process
* **Level 3 (🔗 Community Verified)**: Namespace claimed, coin launched, or contest run
* **Level 4 (✅ Manual Verification)**: Manually reviewed and verified by the Common team
* **Level 5 (⭐ Premium Verification)**: Enterprise access with premium integrations and support

Communities can onboard via:

* Social (Twitter)
* Onchain signing
* Manual verification by a site admin

***

### Why This Exists

The Trust Level system is designed to:

* Keep high-quality contributors visible
* Limit spam and low-signal behavior
* Give communities tools to scale trust and moderation

We’ll continue iterating based on user feedback. This is the foundation for communities to build stronger, more trusted ecosystems.
