Here's an interesting idea: Action itself is the best form of identification.

Instead of sticking virtual labels on ourselves, it's better to let genuine cross-platform behaviors speak for themselves—what you've created, who you've collaborated with, what you've supported—all of which can be verified and traced. The longer you use it, the clearer your identity profile becomes, and the more substantial your credit accumulation is.

This is especially important for builders. The internet is too noisy, filled with self-promotion and false packaging. In such an environment, how valuable would a reputation record based on real behavior be?

But the question also arises: how to design incentive mechanisms to keep people willing to transparently record their true trajectories? This is the key.

Wow, this is the real identity, more valuable than any certification badge. --- That's right, but does anyone really want to be fully traceable... It seems most people still want to keep some black history. --- The incentive mechanism is indeed a difficult point; relying solely on spiritual incentives won't attract anyone. --- Wait, does that mean every step we take on the chain is "building a persona"? That's a bit terrifying upon closer inspection. --- Builders have actually been doing this for a long time, but no one summarized it. Your point actually clarifies things. --- The problem is, what about privacy? Is complete transparency really good?

Operation records are worth more than label values, but unfortunately most people are still pretending. --- The higher the transparency, the easier it is to be targeted. It's a dilemma. --- Actions speak louder than words; everyone understands that. The difficulty lies in incentive design—no one is willing to truly expose themselves. --- Web3 should be like this; on-chain records can't be deceived, and are more reliable than any certification. --- The problem is that people change. Past actions don't represent the current you, right? --- This approach is great for builders, but for retail investors, it means being completely labeled.

Well said, genuine actions are indeed much more reliable than those flashy labels; what you've done is clear at a glance. But to be honest, talking about transparent records is easy. If everyone is truly willing to share, and the incentive design is off, then it's all over. If this mechanism can be implemented successfully, it might really push out those who are just fishing in troubled waters online. --- Public chains have already been playing this logic. On-chain data is hard to fake, but that's also the reason why everyone is betting on whose on-chain footprint is genuine enough. --- Basically, it's a matter of whether credit is valuable or not. If it's just virtual points, who cares? --- Alright, but right now, many people are still desperately packaging their personas. Only when the incentives are in place will people follow.

Action records are much more reliable than self-labels, and I completely agree. But the key is that someone really needs to do it, otherwise it's all just empty talk. --- Transparent records sound good, but who would be willing to expose everything? Privacy and credit are issues that need to be thought through carefully. --- Web3 relies on this to break through; false packaging is really rampant. I just don't know how to set incentives so they don't turn into another form of performance. --- Interesting, it's like turning your entire creative history into a resume, saving you from bragging. --- The problem isn't the incentive mechanism; it's user trust. No one wants to be the first to take the plunge. --- I like this idea; finally someone said it. Relying solely on self-introduction really can't distinguish who is bluffing.

Well said, this is exactly what I've been wanting—don't TMD boast about how awesome you are, just look at what you've done and that's it. Authentic behavior records are indeed valuable, but the incentive mechanism... is still a big problem right now. Will actions lie? Yes, people cheat.
