Reputation System
The Griffin AI network operates permissionlessly: any entity can offer services, operate nodes, or deploy agents. To ensure accountability and build trust, the network:
Assigns unique identities to participants.
Verifies ownership of these identities through private keys.
Records participant reliability in a centralized reputation system.
Guardian nodes
Guardian nodes are central to the management of the Griffin AI reputation system. These specialized nodes are responsible for recording and assessing the performance of service providers and AI agents, ensuring activities are transparent and accountable. To prevent conflicts of interest and promote impartiality, only Guardian nodes have the authority to write to the reputation system within the Griffin database.
Key responsibilities of Guardian nodes:
Maintain and verify the accuracy of performance metrics (for example: service availability and response times).
Aggregate reputation scores provided by network participants.
Resolve disputes between service providers and users.
Modify reputation scores, retract negative feedback, or impose bans on Root Identities based on dispute outcomes.
Handling non-compliant operators
Because the network is permissionless, non-compliant operators cannot be physically disconnected. Instead, they can be excluded from the Griffin reputation system. This exclusion:
Acts as a deterrent by reducing visibility to new users.
Signals potential risks to existing users.
Client Providers (CPs) may operate alternative reputation systems with different standards and procedures tailored to their services or communities. These systems can vary in emphasis on security and trust and may deviate from the Griffin reputation system’s standards.
Summary
The combination of identity verification, a centralized Griffin reputation system managed by Guardian nodes, and the permissionless nature of the network creates a secure and reliable environment while preserving openness. Third parties (such as CPs) retain the flexibility to run their own reputation systems, supporting a censorship-resistant and diverse ecosystem.
