Iris-lib uses [Gun](../proocols/gun.md) for networking and data storage. The team is funded by Gun, and also accepts donations. Iris uses WoT (Web-of-Trust) attestations to link human readable names to key-pair and other identity attributes. Users only see messages in their WoT, from users who have been upvoted by someone in a chain from someone they upvoted. Downvotes are also possible. [Reputation](https://medium.com/@mmalmi/learning-to-trust-strangers-167b652a654f) is not represented by a static score, but by how a user's personal web of trust regards them. A percentage threshold of confidence in a person's identity is calculated by the number of attestations relative to the size of the network.
