If you’re thinking about joining the Jumper sale on Legion, you may have noticed something on the project page: Jumper’s Ethos score, shown right there before you commit to anything. On October 1, Ethos pointed out what that score reflects and how your own Ethos score connects to the sale.

It matters because a credibility score built from what other people say about a project gives you a signal to check before you decide whether to take part.

What Jumper’s file says

Jumper’s Ethos profile wasn’t built in a rush around the sale. According to Ethos, 243 people had already weighed in on Jumper before there was a ticker. That means the record on the profile reflects what people thought of the project before a token was ever part of the picture.

You can read the profile yourself at app.ethos.network/profile/x/jumperapp.

Ethos scores on every Legion project page

This isn’t specific to Jumper. Since May, every Legion project page has carried two kinds of Ethos score:

• The project’s Ethos score
• Its founders’ Ethos scores

So anyone looking at a sale on Legion can see how the project and the people behind it are regarded on Ethos before deciding whether to participate.

Your score counts too

The connection runs the other way as well. Legion doesn’t only show Ethos scores for projects; your own Ethos score can matter for your participation.

An Ethos score of 1200 or higher earns you Valor Points in the Legion Republic. For Jumper, each Valor Point is an entry in the draw for Jumper’s Republic allocation. In short:

• Score 1200+ on Ethos
• Earn Valor Points in the Legion Republic
• Each point is one entry in the draw for Jumper’s Republic allocation

Details on this benefit are on the Ethos exclusive access page: app.ethos.network/exclusive-access?benefit=benefit-28.

Why this setup works

Putting reputation on both sides of a sale gives each side something to go on. Participants can look at a project’s record, and its founders’, before they commit. Projects, in turn, can give credible participants a better shot at an allocation. In both cases, the signal comes from what people on Ethos have said, not from what anyone says about themselves.
