Ethos Trade lets you trade on someone's reputation. Every market is about one person and has two sides: trust and distrust. Buy trust if you think someone is trustworthy, or distrust if you don't. The price shows how much the market trusts that person.
The trust price and trust levels
The trust price is the price of one trust token, between 0 and 1. Ethos also shows it as a percentage, called Market trust: a trust price of 0.72 means the market trusts this person 72%. Every new market starts at 50%.
Trust price | Trust level |
0.8 – 1.0 | Very trustworthy |
0.6 – 0.8 | Trustworthy |
0.4 – 0.6 | Neutral |
0.2 – 0.4 | Untrustworthy |
0.0 – 0.2 | Very untrustworthy |
Markets never close
Markets have no end date and are never settled. You hold as long as you like and sell when you want to.
Where to find it
Click Trade in the top menu, or in the bottom bar on mobile.
