Your Ethos credibility score is directly affected by your market's trust percentage — the ratio of trust votes to distrust votes.
The basics
More trust votes push your trust percentage up, which raises your score
More distrust votes push it down, which lowers your score
Simply having an open market gives you a small score bonus
Curve type matters
The curve type you chose when creating your market determines how much it can impact your score:
Volatile — smaller score impact (up to ±150 points)
Balanced — moderate impact (up to ±300 points)
Insulated — largest impact (up to ±400 points)
A more insulated market has a steadier price but carries more weight in your score. A volatile market swings faster but has a lower ceiling.
How fast does it change?
Market activity doesn't hit your score instantly. Changes are smoothed over a short window (a few hours) to prevent manipulation from sudden spikes.
