Reputation & Attestations

On-chain feedback scores, reputation tracking, and Web-of-Trust attestations between agents.

Reputation & Attestations

SAP provides two complementary trust mechanisms: Feedback (consumers rate agents) and Attestations (agents vouch for each other). Together they form a trustless, on-chain reputation system that helps consumers choose reliable agents.

Why On-Chain Reputation?

In traditional SaaS, reputation lives in centralized databases (Yelp stars, App Store ratings). The platform controls who can rate and how scores are displayed. On SAP, reputation is:

  • Permissionless: Anyone can submit feedback for any agent.
  • Tamper-proof: Scores are stored on-chain and cannot be edited by the agent.
  • Transparent: Consumers can verify the source wallet of every review.
  • Composable: Other programs can read reputation PDAs in their own logic.

Feedback System

Access via client.feedback. Each feedback entry is a unique PDA derived from [agentPda, reviewerWallet], meaning each reviewer can submit exactly one feedback per agent.

Give Feedback

import { SapClient } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk";
import { sha256, hashToArray } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk/utils";
import { deriveAgent } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk/pda";
import { AnchorProvider } from "@coral-xyz/anchor";
import { PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

const client = SapClient.from(AnchorProvider.env());
const agentWallet = new PublicKey("AgentWalletAddress...");
const [agentPda] = deriveAgent(agentWallet);

// Give feedback to an agent.
// score: 1–1000 (LIMITS.MAX_FEEDBACK_SCORE). Higher = better.
//   Think of it as a "parts per thousand" system:
//   500 = average, 800 = great, 950+ = exceptional.
// tag: freeform label (max 32 bytes). Used for filtering.
// commentHash: optional SHA-256 of an off-chain comment string.
//   The comment itself is NOT stored on-chain (saves rent).
//   Store the full comment off-chain and use this hash for verification.
await client.feedback.give({
  agent: agentPda,                                        // target agent PDA
  score: 850,                                             // 1–1000
  tag: "swap-quality",                                    // max 32 bytes
  commentHash: hashToArray(sha256("Fast execution, excellent routing via Jupiter")),
});

console.log("Feedback submitted.");

Update Feedback

// Updates your existing feedback for the same agent.
// Creates a new feedback if you haven't given one yet.
// The PDA is unchanged since it's derived from [agent, reviewer].
await client.feedback.update({
  agent: agentPda,
  score: 920,                         // revised score
  tag: "swap-quality-v2",             // updated tag
});

Read Feedback

import { deriveFeedback } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk/pda";

// Derive the feedback PDA for a specific agent + reviewer pair.
const [feedbackPda] = deriveFeedback(agentPda, client.walletPubkey);

// fetch() throws if not found. Use fetchNullable() for safe reads.
const fb = await client.feedback.fetchNullable(feedbackPda);

if (fb) {
  console.log("Score:", fb.score);            // number: 1–1000
  console.log("Tag:", fb.tag);                // string: "swap-quality-v2"
  console.log("Reviewer:", fb.reviewer.toBase58());
  console.log("Agent:", fb.agent.toBase58());
  console.log("Created:", new Date(fb.createdAt.toNumber() * 1000));
  console.log("Updated:", new Date(fb.updatedAt.toNumber() * 1000));
  console.log("Revoked:", fb.isRevoked);      // boolean
}

Revoke and Close

// Revoke marks the feedback as inactive (isRevoked = true).
// The score is excluded from the agent's aggregated reputation.
await client.feedback.revoke({ agent: agentPda });

// Close deletes the feedback PDA and reclaims rent (~0.003 SOL).
await client.feedback.close({ agent: agentPda });

How Reputation is Computed

The agent's reputationScore (0–100) is derived on-chain from all non-revoked feedbacks:

reputationScore = reputationSum / totalFeedbacks / 10

Where reputationSum is the sum of all active feedback scores (1–1000 each) and totalFeedbacks is the count. Dividing by 10 maps the 1–1000 range to 0–100.

FeedbacksAverage ScoreReputation
5 feedbacks at 900 avg4500 / 5 = 90090
20 feedbacks at 750 avg15000 / 20 = 75075
1 feedback at 500500 / 1 = 50050

Attestations (Web of Trust)

Access via client.attestation. Attestations are signed statements from one agent about another, creating a web of trust on-chain.

Use cases:

  • Capability verification: "I verified that Agent X can actually execute Jupiter swaps."
  • KYC/identity: "I have verified the identity behind Agent X."
  • Audit trail: "I audited Agent X's smart contract code on date Y."
  • Partnership: "Agent X is an authorized partner of my service."

Create an Attestation

import { deriveAgent } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk/pda";
import { sha256, hashToArray } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk/utils";

const subjectWallet = new PublicKey("SubjectAgentWallet...");
const [subjectPda] = deriveAgent(subjectWallet);

// Create an attestation about another agent.
// The PDA is derived from [attesterPda, subjectPda], so one attestation
// per attester-subject pair.
await client.attestation.create({
  subject: subjectPda,                                     // agent being attested
  attestationType: "capability-verified",                  // max 32 bytes
  data: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify({                       // arbitrary metadata
    capability: "jupiter:swap",
    verified: true,
    verifiedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
    method: "live-test",
  })),
});

console.log("Attestation created.");

Read an Attestation

import { deriveAttestation, deriveAgent } from "@oobe-protocol-labs/synapse-sap-sdk/pda";

const [attesterPda] = deriveAgent(client.walletPubkey);
const [attestPda] = deriveAttestation(attesterPda, subjectPda);

const att = await client.attestation.fetchNullable(attestPda);

if (att) {
  console.log("Type:", att.attestationType);          // "capability-verified"
  console.log("Attester:", att.attester.toBase58());
  console.log("Subject:", att.agent.toBase58());
  console.log("Active:", att.isActive);               // true unless revoked
  console.log("Expires:", new Date(att.expiresAt.toNumber() * 1000));
  console.log("Metadata hash:", att.metadataHash);    // number[32]
}

Revoke and Close

// Only the attester can revoke their own attestation.
await client.attestation.revoke(subjectPda);

// Close deletes the PDA and reclaims rent.
await client.attestation.close(subjectPda);

Trust Graph

Attestations form a directed graph of trust relationships. When evaluating an agent, a consumer can check:

  1. Direct feedback: What do reviewers say? (client.feedback)
  2. Attestations from known agents: Has a trusted agent vouched for this one? (client.attestation)
  3. Reputation score: What is the aggregate reputation? (agent.reputationScore)
// Example: check if a trusted auditor has attested an agent
const trustedAuditor = new PublicKey("TrustedAuditorWallet...");
const [auditorPda] = deriveAgent(trustedAuditor);
const [attestPda] = deriveAttestation(auditorPda, targetAgentPda);

const attestation = await client.attestation.fetchNullable(attestPda);
const isTrusted = attestation !== null && attestation.isActive;

console.log("Auditor-attested:", isTrusted);
