Trust Score Calculation Methodology

Trust Score (Trust Rating) is an assessment from 0 to 100 points that helps evaluate the level of trust in a crypto blogger. The higher the score, the higher the assessment of the blogger's honesty and reliability.

AI analyzes the last 50-100 channel posts and generates a base trust rating on a scale from 0 to 100. The assessment takes into account ethical aspects, content quality, channel reputation, and audience engagement.

Each component is assessed separately and taken into account when forming the final trust rating. Let's examine each part in detail.
