Building Trust in the Digital Age
An open protocol for verifiable, human-centered digital identity — free, transparent, and built for the public good.
OUR VISION
A child-safe internetbuilt on trust between real peoplenot on algorithms or ads
Our vision is an internet where children can explore, learn, and connect safely — free from manipulation, predatory content, and addictive design. We believe digital spaces should reflect the trust networks of the real world: families, friends, schools, and communities. By enabling these trust circles online, we aim to rebuild the web as a place that genuinely supports human wellbeing and growth.
Why?
Every person deserves the benefits of the internet without its harms.
What?
We're building an open, Nostr-based protocol that enables moderation and discovery through human trust.
How?
We develop this protocol through open-source publication and real-world testing with the Kubo demo app.
Problem
Malicious actors make the web a dangerous place — especially for children.
Solution
A decentralized, open-source trust protocol that lets moderation follow human relationships — not corporate rules.
WHO WE ARE
Nostr OG's
The Web of Trust Foundation, based in the Netherlands, is governed by a board of Nostr OG's. We've all been involved with the Nostr protocol since 2022. Between the 3 of us we know almost every developer building the protocol and visited all relevant conferences.
