Ante is a decentralized protocol to translate implicit trust assumptions like "protocol X is solvent" or "team Y won't rug" into explicit on-chain commitments (Ante Tests) that anyone can verify in real-time. Staking tests gives them credibility and payouts happen trustlessly if the tests fail.
These new trust-signaling primitives form the potential building blocks for a decentralized trust ratings system that could make the space safer for builders and users alike.
As a DeFi protocol, you can work with Ante to credibly signal a commitment to your most important trust guarantees and bootstrap trust by putting skin in the game.
