# The Decentralized Trust Score

Ante translates uncoordinated actions from thousands of users into useful information about community trust, adding peace of mind for the entire community. This is numerically represented by what we call the **Decentralized Trust Score**, a composite score that provides an explicit quantitative measure of trust in a protocol as expressed by staking and challenging Ante Pools. A higher Trust Score means more people in the Ante community trust the protocol.
