Nouns DAO
Strong trust profile for this dao. TrustGrade score 80/100 (Grade B+).
Score Breakdown
How the TrustGrade algorithm computed this score.
Wilson Score Lower Bound
95% confidence interval lower bound on positive outcome rate. Penalizes small samples automatically.
Bayesian Posterior
Beta(α,β) posterior mean with sceptical prior. Adjusts observed rate toward conservative estimate.
Incident Penalty
Compound penalty: 1−(1−s)². 10% incidents → 19% penalty. 30% → 51%.
Volume Bonus
Log-credibility bonus: log₁₀(n)×k. More data = more confidence, diminishing returns.
Signal Contributions
Each signal's contribution to the final score. Positive = trust-building. Negative = risk-indicating.
| Signal | Value | Weight | Contribution | Visualization |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Governance Decentralization | 70.0% | ±7 | +2.80 | |
| Proposal Execution Rate | 75.0% | ±8 | +4.00 | |
| Treasury Transparency | 80.0% | ±9 | +5.40 | |
| Voting Participation | 65.0% | ±4 | +1.20 | |
| Multisig Security | 85.0% | ±4 | +2.80 | |
| Onchain Governance | 90.0% | ±5 | +4.00 |
Why this grade?
Strong trust profile for this dao. TrustGrade score 80/100 (Grade B+).
The TrustGrade algorithm combines the Wilson score lower bound (which requires substantial evidence to score high), a Bayesian posterior (which shrinks toward a conservative estimate when sample sizes are small), a compound incident penalty (which grows faster than linear), a log-credibility volume bonus, and 6 weighted optional signals specific to daos.
