{{first name}}, This week has been all about action! Our rebranding to Vertrauen Protocol is complete.
We're now Vertrauen Protocol
Very soon our new landing page (vertrauen.me) will go live. Share our page with your friends and tell people about Vertrauen Protocol: a 0 to 100 credibility score for crypto KOLs based on on- and off-chain data that cannot be bought or altered.
The score is getting sharper
Our devs ran a first independent data test with a design partner. We blind-labelled a sample of 100 wallet addresses, and we continue to conduct technical reviews.
Our onboarding process has been refined even further. Now all KOLs provide their active wallet addresses upon registration, which helps us aggregate more data and make our score even more objective and accurate.
What we shipped
Vertrauen production backups are live and running off-site. Our first Chrome extension is live and ready for testing. 100+ KOLs have been listed in our beta and we are working hard to onboard more as we speak.
Our vision is a world where the Vertrauen score says more about a KOL than an official blue X checkmark and 1000 independent reviews.
Trustpaper and the road to mainnet
Our official Trustpaper is ready. Learn everything about Vertrauen Protocol in the coming days. We keep hitting our roadmap targets and expect our mainnet launch in Q4 this year.
Community and events
Our marketing team did an amazing job this week, hosting more live AMA events and growing our community on X, Discord and Telegram. We diligently remove bots and suspicious users from our accounts, keeping all traffic 100% organic.
Where we're headed
This week, our founder was present at Conf3rence in Dortmund. We look forward to seeing you at Token2049 in Singapore, and we will attend more IRL events in 2026.
Vertrauen Protocol starts on Solana, but our future is blockchain-agnostic. We are focused on building long-lasting relationships with EVM networks, as well as Solana Superteams across the world.
Market insights from Lorenzo
The "Big Pump" has caught many bears by surprise. Only the seasoned OGs saw it coming, and their voices have been largely ignored amid short-term noise.
Although there is still no confirmation of the bullish trend, the sentiment on CT lit up bullish overnight. The Fear and Greed Index is shifting back toward greed. New retail capital inflow into crypto remains low, and bullish news is still not causing major movements in the charts just yet.
The upcoming crypto regulations are stirring up discussions about privacy and decentralisation, sending privacy coins higher up the charts. The probability of the Clarity Act passing is rising. It's unclear what effect the crypto regulation will have on the total market in the short term.
What's on our radar this week? RWA.
