Trust Layer Economics

Tokenomics

Stake to signal trust. Earn from quality. Get slashed for failure.

The Trust Layer for the Agent Economy

$UPSKILL is the missing infrastructure between "can they pay?" and "can they deliver?" A trust layer that other platforms integrate to verify skill reputation before execution.

Skill Providers
Stake to prove capability, earn from performance
Curators
Stake on quality skills, share in their success
Integrators
Query trust scores before every payment
The Protocol
Infrastructure for trust-gated execution
