In physics, the gravitational field determines how matter clusters into galaxies. The same applies in the financial world—except here, the "gravity" is trust.

Where does traditional financial trust come from? Regulatory licenses, credit ratings, the names of big brands. This system is highly centralized, with capital and value flowing to central institutions. But now, Web3 is changing the game.

Decentralized verification networks are creating a brand new trust gravitational field. Its "source of quality" is no longer endorsement from a centralized institution, but a credibility that can be verified by everyone and permanently recorded on the blockchain. How significant is this shift? It allows capital and talent to flow more directly to places that truly create value, rather than being filtered through layers of intermediaries.

What supports this new trust system? Four dimensions:

**First, transparent operational history.** Trust built on long-term verifiable records, with extremely high costs for faking.

**Second, mutual recognition between protocols.** A protocol's trustworthiness within the verification network can be recognized and inherited by other protocols, forming network effects.

**Third, real data on risk and return.** Not marketing rhetoric, but verified actual risk and return ratios.

**Fourth, participation proof in governance.** Who participated in governance and what decisions were made are all recorded, providing an intuitive reflection of the protocol's health.

When these four dimensions stack up, each protocol connected to the network will have its own "trust coordinate." Capital and users can see clearly, and will naturally flow toward places with higher trust levels. This is not achieved through marketing, but through data-driven credibility.
