How to Improve Your Trust Score

This section provides step-by-step instructions to help you build the Trust Score on Firestarter.

---

The Issuer Trust Score is your reputation on Firestarter. It is a live score from 0-100 that helps buyers/investors see that you are a legitimate and active creator. A higher score builds confidence and gives your projects better visibility.

1. Your Starting Point: "New Issuer"

Every new creator starts with a "New Issuer" badge and a baseline Trust Score of 0.

This is not a penalty. It is a neutral starting point. Your score is designed to increase as you take positive actions on the platform.

2. How to Increase Your Score: The "Path to Bronze"

On your profile dashboard, you will see a checklist called "Your Path to Bronze." Completing these actions is the fastest way to build trust and raise your score.

Your score is calculated from five key areas:

1. Profile & KYC Verification (20% Weight): Complete your KYC/KYB verification. This is the single most important step.

2. Staking Commitment (20% Weight): Stake $ANLOG on the platform. This shows you have skin in the game.

3. Storefront & Affiliate Activity (25% Weight): Do this:

   1. Create your Storefront and list perks for your token holders.

   2. Fulfill your orders quickly and maintain a low dispute rate. An active, successful store is a massive trust signal.

4. Prior Launch Success (20% Weight): Do this:

   1. Successfully launch a token and reach its bonding curve goal.

   2. The sales volume and number of holders your token attracts will positively impact your score.

5. Social Verification (15% Weight): Link and verify your social media accounts (X/Twitter, etc.).

Your score updates dynamically. As you complete these steps, you will graduate to new tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), unlocking better fee rates and more platform perks.
