Hey folks, We’re building Tlock, a Twitter-style app-chain with the Cosmos SDK, and wish to discuss with you. we noticed two big killers in Web3 socials: bots farming rewards and weak content discovery. I think Cosmos is the best fit ,because we have periodic allowance and lexicographical order enabling fast indexing.
We want to add an on-chain reputation system as part of the solution. Everyone starts at level 0; pass a quick human check and you jump to level 1. Commenting on posts earns an instant reward, and higher levels unlock bigger payouts, so bots can only earn limited rewards over time.
Every like or reply also bumps a post’s score, stored under keys like topic::. Prefix queries give real-time “hot” and “following” lists without an external indexer, and high-reputation content naturally bubbles up.
Do you think this setup can really stop Sybil attacks? What other roadblocks do you see?
