Orange Protocol

Orange Protocol is redefining how reputation and identity are managed in the decentralized world. Unlike centralized solutions or basic KYC systems, Orange Protocol allows users to establish and manage self-sovereign identities by aggregating and processing a wide range of on-chain and off-chain data. This includes wallet transactions, social interactions, DAO participation, DeFi engagement, and more—all without exposing personal data to third parties.

The heart of the protocol lies in the Orange Humanity Score (OHS), which quantifies a user's authenticity and trustworthiness. The OHS combines decentralized identity (DID), social media verification, on-chain activity, and Proof of Humanity (PoH) validations from partners like BrightID and Gitcoin Passport. The score can then be minted as an OHS NFT or used in the form of a Verifiable Credential (VC) to access reputation-gated DAOs, DeFi lending, token sales, and campaign incentives.

Orange Protocol's architecture is developer-first. It includes SDKs and APIs to integrate reputation logic directly into smart contracts or dApps. This makes it easy for DAOs to replace token-based voting with reputation-based governance, or for lending platforms to issue undercollateralized loans based on trust scores. For example, lending dApps can score users by analyzing historical wallet holdings, DAO votes, social credibility, and risk profiles.

The platform also supports seamless integration with various DeFi protocols like AAVE, Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Curve, and SushiSwap, helping to bring context-aware insights to blockchain interactions. Compared to alternatives like Gitcoin Passport or BrightID, Orange offers a more holistic and programmable framework.

Ultimately, Orange Protocol is not just a data aggregator—it’s a programmable trust layer for the Web3 world. It empowers individuals to prove their value and contributions, and gives platforms the tools to reward legitimate behavior while discouraging bots, sybil attacks, and manipulation. Whether you're building a DAO, a game, or a DeFi platform, Orange provides the missing piece: verified, decentralized reputation.

Orange Protocol provides numerous benefits and features that make it a transformative tool in the Web3 reputation ecosystem:

• Trustless and Decentralized: Operates with zkTLS-based verification, ensuring data privacy and integrity without relying on centralized intermediaries.
• Self-Sovereign Identity: Users retain full control of their identity and reputation data through DIDs and VCs, granting access only when needed.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly across DeFi, DAO, NFT, and Web2 platforms, supporting both EVM and non-EVM chains.
• Dynamic Scoring via OHS: The Orange Humanity Score dynamically reflects trustworthiness based on both on-chain behavior and off-chain verifications.
• Customizable Outputs: Developers can issue reputation NFTs, VCs, or plain-text reports based on programmable logic and data inputs.
• Reputation-Based Campaigns: Participate in airdrops, token sales, DAO privileges, and user segmentation based on verified reputation.

Getting started with Orange Protocol is simple for both individuals and developers:

• Connect Your Wallet: Visit the Reputation Studio and connect your primary wallet that reflects your Web3 activity.
• Link Your Accounts: Authorize connections to social profiles like Twitter, Discord, and GitHub to improve your OHS.
• Choose a Model: Select a pre-existing reputation algorithm or configure your own using Orange's SDKs and dashboard.
• Mint Your Score: Generate your Orange Humanity Score and optionally mint it as a reputation NFT.
• Integrate via API: For developers, integrate OHS logic and data into dApps or smart contracts via Orange’s zkTLS SDK.
• Join a Campaign: Use your score to access exclusive campaigns, partner dApps, and even gain discounts in Token Generation Events (TGEs).
