Core Borealis Concept
Trust Badge
A visual credential certifying that an AI agent has been evaluated and certified by BorealisMark - displayed on agent profiles and third-party platforms to signal trustworthiness.
Explanation
The Trust Badge is the public-facing proof of certification. It displays the agent's BM Score and credit rating, and links to the publicly verifiable certification record on BorealisMark. The badge can be embedded in developer documentation, product pages, and third-party marketplace listings.
Why it matters
Certification without public proof is incomplete. The Trust Badge makes certification visible to buyers, regulators, and users who need to evaluate an agent's trustworthiness without running their own audits.
How Borealis uses it
Trust Badges are generated upon certification completion and linked to the agent's certification record. Badge authenticity is verifiable via the /v1/verify/:agentId endpoint. Badges update automatically when scores change following new audits or telemetry batches.
