Traditional credit scores decide who gets loans, jobs, or even apartments. But they’re opaque, centralized, and often unfair. In crypto, a new idea is emerging: On-chain reputation powered by Soulbound Tokens (SBTs).

💡 What are Soulbound Tokens?

They’re non-transferable NFTs tied to your identity or history. Unlike regular tokens, they can’t be sold or traded — making them perfect for representing achievements, credentials, or trust scores.

🚀 How they could change the game:

Credit & Lending → Instead of checking a centralized bureau, lenders can review your on-chain activity & repayment history.

Proof of Skills → Education certificates, work history, or DAO contributions could live on-chain.

Fraud Prevention → Since SBTs can’t be sold, fake identities and “renting” reputation become harder.

⚡ The Challenges

Privacy → How much of your life should be visible on-chain?

Adoption → Will institutions trust blockchain-based identity?

Regulation → Governments may want oversight before SBTs replace credit scores.

📊 The Big Picture

On-chain reputation won’t replace credit bureaus overnight — but it could create a fairer, global, and decentralized system of trust. If Web3 succeeds, your future “credit score” might just live inside your wallet.
