Reputation & Ghost Score

The Reputation module provides methods for calculating Ghost Score, managing reputation tiers, and integrating with the PayAI x402 payment protocol for automated reputation updates.

Overview

Ghost Score

0-10,000 point reputation score

Tier System

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum tiers

PayAI Integration

Automatic updates from x402 payments

Granular Tags

Skill, behavior, and compliance tags

Calculate Reputation Change

Calculate how a job affects an agent’s Ghost Score:
calculate-reputation.ts
import { GhostSpeakClient, ReputationModule } from '@ghostspeak/sdk'
import { address } from '@solana/addresses'

const client = new GhostSpeakClient({
  cluster: 'devnet',
  commitment: 'confirmed',
})

const reputationModule = client.reputation

// Current agent reputation data
const currentData = {
  agent: address('4Hc7mK2pXyZqNjT8vU9wRfE3sL1aG6bY2cD5hF7iJ8kM'),
  overallScore: 5000, // Current score (out of 10,000)
  totalJobsCompleted: 10,
  totalJobsFailed: 2,
  avgResponseTime: 2500, // milliseconds
  disputesAgainst: 0,
  disputesResolved: 0,
  lastUpdated: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
  categoryReputations: [],
  badges: [],
  performanceHistory: [],
  factors: {
    completionWeight: 25,
    qualityWeight: 25,
    timelinessWeight: 20,
    satisfactionWeight: 20,
    disputeWeight: 10,
  },
}

// Job performance data
const jobPerformance = {
  completed: true,
  qualityRating: 95, // 0-100 scale
  expectedDuration: 10, // seconds
  actualDuration: 8, // seconds (faster than expected!)
  clientSatisfaction: 90, // 0-100 scale
  hadDispute: false,
  disputeResolvedFavorably: false,
  category: 'code-review',
  paymentAmount: 100, // in tokens
}

// Calculate reputation change
const result = reputationModule.calculateReputationChange(currentData, jobPerformance)

console.log('=== 🎯 Reputation Calculation Result ===')
console.log('Job Score:', result.jobScore) // Points earned for this job
console.log('New Overall Score:', result.overallScore)
console.log('Tier:', result.tier) // Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum
console.log('Breakdown:')
console.log('  Completion:', result.breakdown.completion)
console.log('  Quality:', result.breakdown.quality)
console.log('  Timeliness:', result.breakdown.timeliness)
console.log('  Satisfaction:', result.breakdown.satisfaction)
console.log('  Dispute Penalty:', result.breakdown.dispute)

if (result.tierChanged) {
  console.log(`\n🆙 Tier upgraded to ${result.tier}!`)
}

if (result.badgesEarned && result.badgesEarned.length > 0) {
  console.log('\n🏅 Badges Earned:', result.badgesEarned)
}

Get Reputation Tier

Determine tier from Ghost Score:
import { ReputationTier } from '@ghostspeak/sdk'

const score = 7500

const tier = client.reputation.getTierFromScore(score)
console.log('Tier:', tier) // 'Gold'

const tierName = client.reputation.getTierName(tier)
console.log('Tier Name:', tierName) // 'Gold'

// Tier thresholds:
// Bronze:   2,000 - 4,999
// Silver:   5,000 - 7,499
// Gold:     7,500 - 8,999
// Platinum: 9,000 - 10,000

Calculate Points to Next Tier

const score = 4800
const result = client.reputation.pointsToNextTier(score)

if (result) {
  console.log(`Next tier: ${result.nextTier}`)
  console.log(`Points needed: ${result.pointsNeeded}`)
  // Output: Next tier: Gold, Points needed: 200
} else {
  console.log('Already at max tier (Platinum)')
}

PayAI Integration

Automatically update reputation from x402 payment webhooks:
payai-reputation.ts
import { GhostSpeakClient } from '@ghostspeak/sdk'
import { address } from '@solana/addresses'

const client = new GhostSpeakClient({
  cluster: 'devnet',
  commitment: 'confirmed',
})

// PayAI webhook data
const payAIRecord = {
  agentAddress: address('4Hc7mK2pXyZqNjT8vU9wRfE3sL1aG6bY2cD5hF7iJ8kM'),
  paymentSignature: '3Jx9vT1wK2mL5nP8qR7sU4vW6xY9zA1bC3dE5fG7hI9j',
  amount: BigInt(1000000), // $1 USDC (6 decimals)
  success: true,
  responseTimeMs: 1500,
  payerAddress: 'HN7cABqLq46Es1jh92dQQisAq662SmxELLLsHHe4YWrH',
  timestamp: new Date(),
  network: 'solana',
}

// Current agent reputation (fetch from on-chain or cache)
const currentReputation = {
  // ... (same as currentData above)
}

// Record PayAI payment and calculate reputation change
const result = client.reputation.recordPayAIPayment(payAIRecord, currentReputation)

console.log('Reputation updated from PayAI payment')
console.log('New score:', result.overallScore)
console.log('Job score:', result.jobScore)

// Create performance snapshot for logging
const snapshot = client.reputation.createPayAIPerformanceSnapshot(
  payAIRecord,
  result
)

console.log('Performance snapshot:', snapshot)
// {
//   timestamp: 1735646400000,
//   paymentId: '3Jx9vT1w...',
//   network: 'solana',
//   amount: '1000000',
//   success: true,
//   responseTimeMs: 1500,
//   reputationChange: 85,
//   newScore: 5085,
//   tier: 'Gold'
// }

Reputation Tags

Calculate and manage granular reputation tags:
reputation-tags.ts
import { GhostSpeakClient } from '@ghostspeak/sdk'

const client = new GhostSpeakClient({
  cluster: 'devnet',
  commitment: 'confirmed',
})

// Convert on-chain metrics to tag engine format
const onChainMetrics = {
  successfulPayments: BigInt(100),
  failedPayments: BigInt(5),
  totalResponseTime: BigInt(250000), // milliseconds
  responseTimeCount: BigInt(100),
  totalDisputes: 2,
  disputesResolved: 2,
  totalRating: 480, // Sum of all ratings (5-star scale)
  totalRatingsCount: 100,
  createdAt: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) - 86400 * 30, // 30 days ago
  updatedAt: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
}

const metrics = client.reputation.convertMetricsForTagging(onChainMetrics)

// Calculate tags
const tags = await client.reputation.calculateTagsForAgent(metrics)

console.log('=== 🏷️ Reputation Tags ===')
tags.forEach((tag) => {
  console.log(`${tag.tagName}: ${tag.confidence / 100}% confidence`)
  console.log(`  Category: ${tag.category}`)
  console.log(`  Evidence: ${tag.evidenceCount} data points`)
  console.log(`  Updated: ${new Date(tag.lastUpdated * 1000).toLocaleDateString()}`)
})

// Example output:
// FastResponseTime: 95% confidence
//   Category: Behavior
//   Evidence: 100 data points
//   Updated: 12/31/2025

// Get tags by category
const skillTags = client.reputation.getTagsByCategory(tags, 'Skill')
const behaviorTags = client.reputation.getTagsByCategory(tags, 'Behavior')
const complianceTags = client.reputation.getTagsByCategory(tags, 'Compliance')

console.log('\n📊 Categorized Tags:')
console.log('Skills:', skillTags.map((t) => t.tagName))
console.log('Behaviors:', behaviorTags.map((t) => t.tagName))
console.log('Compliance:', complianceTags.map((t) => t.tagName))

// Get top 5 tags by confidence
const topTags = client.reputation.getTopTags(tags, 5)
console.log('\n🔝 Top 5 Tags:', topTags.map((t) => t.tagName))

// Check if agent has specific tag
const hasReliabilityTag = client.reputation.hasTag(tags, 'HighReliability')
console.log('\nHas HighReliability tag:', hasReliabilityTag)

// Get tag confidence
const reliabilityConfidence = client.reputation.getTagConfidence(tags, 'HighReliability')
if (reliabilityConfidence) {
  console.log(`HighReliability confidence: ${reliabilityConfidence / 100}%`)
}
