# Attestations

**Attesting to an entities identity claims.**

Web3 domain names can be mapped to wallet addresses, functioning as token-gated user licenses that grant access to an individual's on-chain credit score or "humanity score." These verified attestations are derived from the methods used to achieve XStars' humanity score, that are then tied to the user's wallet address.&#x20;

These domain names essentially serve as the key that unlocks the user's unique rating, computed based on their recorded on-chain & off-chain credentials and identity claims. By verifying identity claims through attestations anchored to blockchain addresses, a reputation and identity system emerges.&#x20;

An entity's trustworthiness and overall "humanity" can be quantified through this on-chain scoring mechanism enabled by the mapping of Web3 domain names to wallets containing verified attestations. This approach provides a sybil-resistant framework for establishing decentralized identity and reputation without relying on centralized authorities

Examples of attestations are with Linea’s Verax Attestation System; [Verax | Linea](https://docs.linea.build/developers/tooling/attestations/verax)
