#trstd. The trust infrastructure for People, Brands and AI.

In the age of AI, trust must be verifiable.
#trstd is the trust infrastructure that enables People, Brands and AI to identify each other, exchange verifiable trust signals and interact with confidence.

Access to the trust infrastructure is free and remains free. Trust is earned, never bought. Paid plans add advanced services.

AI has exposed a funda­mental truth. Digital Trust must be verifiable.

A
AI is becoming the first point of contact between people and brands.

AI searches, filters, recommends, grants access and increasingly acts on behalf of people and brands. It shapes which brands are found, which information is trusted and which actions are taken.

B
Fake websites, fake identities and AI‑amplified deception are harder to detect.

Phishing and brand impersonation mislead people and create doubt around legitimate brands. AI agents can be fooled too by fake reviews and fake identities. When anything can look real, doubt spreads.

C
When fakes scale industrially, what’s real loses visibility in the noise.

People, Brands and AI need trust they can verify and act on. Otherwise, what is false scales, while what is real disappears beneath it. #trstd provides the shared trust layer that lets all three interact with confidence.

Trust only works when it goes both ways. Mutual, and verifiable.

Paid services add control, assurance and protection. Never a better trust status.

Questions about #trstd?

#trstd is the trust infrastructure for People, Brands and AI. It makes identity, evidence, reputation and other relevant trust signals verifiable and machine-readable, so all three can recognise who and what is real and interact with confidence.

Digital identities, websites, reviews, content and trust signals can be copied, manipulated or detached from their source. AI increases the speed and scale at which digital information is created and used. Verifiable trust connects relevant claims to evidence, source and current status.

#trstd is for People who want to recognise what is real, Brands that want to make their identity, reputation and interactions verifiable, and AI operators whose agents need verifiable identity, mandates and behavioural evidence.

Trust starts with verified identity. Verified interactions create attributable evidence, and relevant behaviour builds reputation over time. #trstd connects these signals to their source, context and current status so that People and machines can verify them.

Mutual trust means that trust does not flow in only one direction. People, Brands and AI can present relevant evidence and verify the signals needed for an interaction. This makes identities, mandates, actions and outcomes attributable and allows each side to interact with greater confidence.

People can recognise genuine identities, websites and experiences. Brands can make their identity, reputation and interactions verifiable. AI agents can present their identity, operator, mandates and behavioural evidence. Together, these signals create a shared trust context for digital interactions.

Yes. Core participation in #trstd is free for People, Brands and AI. Paid plans add advanced services, control, assurance or protection.

No. Trust is earned, never bought. Paid services do not provide better reputation or behavioural standing. These develop through verified identity, genuine interactions and relevant behaviour over time.

#trstd follows the principles of data minimisation and privacy by design. Trust signals are designed to be verifiable without exposing unnecessary personal or confidential information. Only the evidence relevant to an interaction should be made available.

#trstd is built by Trusted Shops SE. Since 1999, Trusted Shops has made digital trust work through verification, the Trustmark, Buyer Protection and transaction-backed reviews. #trstd brings this experience into a digital world shaped by People, Brands and AI.

Trusted Shops, the Trustmark and Buyer Protection continue as established services for ecommerce. Their verification, protection and transaction-backed evidence also contribute experience and relevant trust signals to the wider #trstd infrastructure.
