The Trust Fabric is the on-chain record of who you are, who has underwritten you, and how you have performed. It is the distribution + financing backbone that sits behind every Droplinked merchant — you do not run it, but every brand verification, credit-line offer, and lender association you receive flows through it. This page is the merchant-side concept tour. For the developer reference (UIDs, ABI types, copy-pasteable read examples), see the EAS Schemas group.

What the Trust Fabric is

Four Ethereum Attestation Service schemas, registered on Base mainnet at the predeploy 0x4200…0021. Each one is a different axis of verifiable signal: Full hex UIDs and the per-schema reference pages: Schema A, Schema B, Schema C, Schema D. Read the flow as: A anchors your identity → B is a lender’s verdict on you → C is the append-only evidence of how that verdict performs → D lets peers (WMS, 3PL, partners) cross-sign you. Every arrow is a public, verifier-callable record.

What you get out of it

Brand verification

A Schema A attestation tied to your shop slug. Buyers and lenders read it to confirm the brand behind the catalog.

Credit-line eligibility

Registered lenders read your Schema A + sales history and decide whether to mint a Schema B credit-risk attestation. That attestation is your ticket into the capital markets marketplace.

Tier upgrades over time

Every settlement event accrues to your Schema C rollup. Strong repayment lifts you up the AAA → CCC ladder, which lenders read when re-pricing your next line.

The four surfaces you touch

The brand-attestation lifecycle (request → operator review → on-chain mint → public read) is documented step-by-step in the Brand Attestation Lifecycle guide.

Trust tiers — AAA to CCC

Your attestation-coverage tier is the share of your settled orders that are covered by a Schema C repayment-history row. Lenders read this directly when pricing your next line. The bands are operator-locked: A higher tier means more lender competition for your line, lower indicative rates, and access to deeper pools in the marketplace. Tier movement is mechanical — it follows from your settlement record, not from operator discretion. You move up by settling on time; you move down by missing settlements. You can preview your projected tier change before it happens via GET /v2/upgrade-preview — useful for forecasting when your next line will re-price.

Privacy — what’s onchain vs offchain

The Trust Fabric is public by design on the axes that matter for verification, and operator-held on the axes that carry PII. Onchain (public, readable via Base mainnet or the verifier API): brand slug + Schema A; lender + methodology hash on each Schema B; settlement counts, on-time / late / default tallies on Schema C; Schema D peer scores + basis. Offchain (operator-held, never minted): legal entity name, banking info, KYB documents; underwriting methodology document bodies (only the hash is onchain); per-order buyer PII. The Schema D reconciler sweeps every 6 hours and mirrors registry state (active / suspended / revoked) onto every attestation envelope. It never auto-revokes — it only mirrors current registry status so each verifier can apply its own policy. You control the brand-attestation request and the credit-line application; everything else (rollups, registry-state mirroring, reconciler sweeps) is automatic.
