In 2023, I won the Ethereum Argentina hackathon with a reputation protocol, making our team the only one to receive three awards across all the tracks we applied for. At Blockful, we specialize in governance, giving us extensive experience with reputation systems and related technologies. Additionally, I have delivered talks on reputation at ETH Belgrade 2024 and ETH Denver 2024.

In the context of resource allocation, I understand reputation as a system where grantees can evaluate grant programs. Through attestations via the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) and scores generated by Trustful, we aim to build a reputation over time based on the user-program interaction. This approach will enable us to assess the impact of grant programs, the support provided to grantees, and ultimately improve resource allocation. By doing so, we can attract high-quality builders to the ecosystem.

In essence, the continuous use and quality assessments of grant programs by grantees, recorded on-chain through badges, will ensure that the reputation and quality of grant programs remain immutable and transparent, facilitated by attestations.
