Vouch is building a voluntary, portable reputation layer for the internet — so the way you treat people actually matters, everywhere you go.
Every day, billions of interactions happen online with zero consequences for bad behavior. People lie, harass, manipulate, and deceive — then walk away and do it again somewhere else. There's no record. No accountability. No cost.
Platforms have tried moderation. They've tried banning. They've tried AI filters. But the problem isn't content — it's that behavior doesn't follow people from place to place. A scammer on one platform is a fresh face on the next.
The same person behaves completely differently depending on whether their reputation is at stake. We see this every day.
Sellers describe items honestly. Buyers pay promptly. Disputes get resolved fairly. People go out of their way to earn five stars — because their livelihood depends on their track record.
No-shows. Lowball scams. Broken items sold as working. Ghost after payment. The same people who behave perfectly on eBay act completely differently when nothing follows them.
Vouch is a voluntary, platform-independent reputation service. It evaluates how you engage — not what you believe. Are you honest? Do you argue in good faith? Do you acknowledge when you're wrong? Are you consistent?
Your Vouch reputation is yours. You control it. You carry it from platform to platform. And because it's voluntary, the simple act of having one signals something meaningful.
Opt-in only. Nobody is scored without choosing to be. This isn't surveillance — it's a choice to be accountable.
We evaluate conduct — honesty, consistency, good faith — never political views, opinions, or identity.
Your reputation works everywhere. Not locked inside any single platform. One reputation, the whole internet.
Your data, your reputation, your control. Vouch is designed as a nonprofit service layer, not a product that sells you.
Vouch is in its founding stage. We're looking for technical cofounders, early advisors, and anyone who believes the internet deserves better than what it has now.
