Snowball Money × Orexn Building a Trustworthy Web3 Ecosystem: How Identity + Reputation Address Platform Startup Challenges

Orexn and Snowball Money announce a deep strategic partnership, planning to integrate on-chain identity verification and reputation scoring mechanisms into the Web3 startup ecosystem. This collaboration aims to fundamentally address the longstanding trust crisis faced by decentralized startup platforms—such as rampant sybil attacks, difficulty in distinguishing genuine users from malicious actors, and cross-chain identity fragmentation.

The Trust Dilemma of Startup Platforms: Why a Reputation Mechanism Is Needed

Traditional Web3 startup platforms face a core challenge: how to differentiate real users from malicious bots in a fully decentralized environment? Sybil attackers can easily create numerous fake accounts to claim airdrops, disrupt funding processes, and harm the interests of projects and genuine participants.

Snowball Money’s on-chain reputation system is designed to solve this pain point. By tracking users’ on-chain behavior records and historical activities, it generates a credible reputation score, enabling the Orexn platform to accurately identify active contributors while filtering out low-quality participation and bot activities. This means users involved in startups will receive fairer reward distribution, and projects can reach truly active communities.

Cross-Chain Identity Unification: Saying Goodbye to the Address Fragmentation Era

Another highlight of the partnership is the introduction of Modular Naming Service (MNS). Currently, Web3 users need to manage multiple wallet addresses and identities across different chains, resulting in a fragmented experience and complex management.

Through Snowball Money’s MNS solution, users will obtain a unified cross-chain identity on the Orexn startup platform. This means a recognizable identity can operate across multiple blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. When participating in startup pools, claiming rewards, or engaging in community activities, users won’t need to repeatedly verify or switch accounts. This not only enhances user experience but also creates a higher level of accountability for the platform.

From Identity to Reputation: A Complete Trust Infrastructure

According to the announcement, all OXN contributors, project initiators, and community members will benefit from this integrated system. It is expected that over 200,000 users will directly benefit from the identity and reputation mechanisms brought by this partnership.

The logical chain of this infrastructure is clear: Unified Identity → Behavior Records → Reputation Score → Trust Decisions. Project teams can prioritize high-quality users for startup opportunities based on reputation data; users, in turn, can build reputation through active and genuine participation to gain more platform privileges. Good behavior is incentivized, while malicious actions are restrained.

Building a Sustainable Web3 Startup Ecosystem

The collaboration between Orexn and Snowball Money marks a shift in Web3 startup platforms from the idealism of “decentralization equals justice” toward a pragmatic approach of “trust + decentralization.” Identity, reputation, and opportunities are integrated into a single platform, creating an ecosystem that better meets user needs and promotes fairness.

This approach could set a new benchmark for future startup platforms—how to maintain decentralization while introducing essential trust mechanisms to balance security and inclusivity. As Web3 user adoption grows, standardized, verifiable identities and transparent reputation systems will become the default features of next-generation startup platforms.
