x/review — Review
Tenant–provider reviews building portable, tamper-evident reputation.
What it does
Inside x/review
The review module records reviews between lease counterparties: tenants review providers on delivery quality, and provider-side standing accumulates into a reputation that is portable across the whole marketplace and tamper-evident by construction — reviews are chain state tied to real leases.
Because a review requires an underlying lease, reputation cannot be fabricated by sockpuppet accounts at scale; combined with VEID identity gating, review farming is structurally expensive.
Why it exists
The design rationale
Repeat-game trust is what makes marketplaces work, and centralized platforms hold that trust hostage — leave the platform, lose your reputation. On-chain reviews make track records a public good owned by the participant who earned them.
