Beta Information
Discover TRAST v0.1-beta, the re-engineered Web3 trust layer. Learn about the shift from legacy, the unified entity model, AI-powered features, and the foundation for a scalable, community-driven futu
TRAST v0.1-beta marks a significant evolution from the initial Telegram bot. This release isn't just an update; it's a complete architectural overhaul designed to address the limitations of the legacy system and establish a robust foundation for the future of Web3 trust verification.
From Legacy Limitations to a New Vision
The original TRAST bot, while popular, faced challenges:
Rigid Structure: Primarily designed for projects, struggled with diverse Web3 entities (tokens, influencers, DAOs, etc.).
Manual Processes: Slow admin verification created bottlenecks.
Basic Trust Metrics: Simple rating averages were vulnerable to manipulation.
Scalability Issues: Performance degraded under load; adding features was slow.
TRAST v0.1-beta addresses these head-on with a new vision: A flexible, scalable, AI-powered, and community-driven platform for comprehensive Web3 intelligence.
Core Innovations in v0.1-beta
1. Unified Entity Model & Data Management
Single

Graph-Based Relationships: Maps connections between entities for deeper insights.
Enhanced Auditability: Transparent tracking of all interactions and claims.
2. AI-Powered Features & Enhanced UX

Advanced Caching: Reduces database load and speeds up data retrieval.
Modular Design: Enables faster development and easier integration of new features.
