TrustGate

What it is

TrustGate is behavioral state infrastructure for wallets and contracts on Arc. Score any address by onchain history, deployment credibility, holder behavior, and coordination signals. Trust scores route payments, gate protocol access, and surface risk — automatically.

Most trust systems analyze identity or static reputation. TrustGate models behavioral state over time. That distinction is the product.

The problem

Most trust systems analyze identity or static reputation. Web3 protocols, DEXs, and AI agents need something different: a system that models behavioral state over time — what an address has actually done, how that behavior has changed, and whether coordination patterns signal risk. TrustGate is that system.

The solution

TrustGate combines two pieces of infrastructure that did not exist together before:

• Onchain trust scoring on Arc — the score is computed deterministically from real Arc activity (transactions, USDC balance, contract interactions, deployments). No oracle, no human input.
• Circle Nanopayments for sub-cent USDC settlement — Arc uses USDC as native gas, so the same asset that settles the payment also pays for the transaction. Per-claim cost is roughly $0.0008 versus $2 – $5 on traditional L1s.

On top, tier-routed payments turn a single trust score into a concrete settlement decision: HIGH tiers receive USDC instantly, MEDIUM tiers wait through a 24-hour cancellation window, LOW tiers stay in escrow until the depositor approves, and BLOCKED wallets are rejected outright.
