Step 05 · Rise
Not points. Not popularity. A ledger of verified proof that unlocks people, rooms, challenges, and opportunities.
Earned, not awarded
Reputation only moves when proof is submitted and verified. No points for showing up.
Verified, not popular
Peer and review verification — not likes, not followers, not engagement.
Time-weighted
Consistency over months matters more than a single spike.
Path-specific
Reputation in one Path does not silently buy access in another.
Money buys access, not status
You can pay for tools, rooms, and guidance. You cannot pay for reputation.
Resettable, not erasable
Reinitiation marks a new chapter. The ledger remains.
The ledger
Calm. Precise. Ledger-like.
When reputation moves, the system acknowledges quietly. No confetti. No fanfare. A line in a ledger that you and your peers can trust.
| Event | Δ Rep | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mission accepted | +0 | Intent is not action. |
| Proof submitted | +1 | Reviewed before counted. |
| Proof verified | +5 | The core unit of rise. |
| Circle contribution verified | +3 | Helping serious peers. |
| Challenge completed | +12 | Public, time-boxed, witnessed. |
| Reinitiation | ↻ | Identity update, ledger preserved. |
