Cortex Reputation Scoring: How Wallet Trust Scores Work

How RetinaOS Cortex scores wallet reputation across win rate, entry timing, consistency, and risk profile — transparency over raw ROI.

Cortex is RetinaOS’s on-chain reputation engine. It turns raw wallet history into a trust signal that tells you not just what a wallet has done, but how reliably it has done it — and what type of trader it appears to be.

What the Score Measures

The reputation score (0–100) combines four dimensions:

Dimension	What It Captures
Win rate	% of positions that were profitable
Entry timing	How often the wallet entered before major price moves
Consistency	Whether the track record holds across multiple tokens, not just one lucky trade
Risk/drawdown profile	Typical drawdown relative to gains — a single lucky 10x doesn’t rank a wallet highly if it followed 9 losses

A single lucky trade does not rank a wallet #1. Cortex requires consistency across multiple tokens to assign a high score.

Score Ranges

Score Range	Interpretation
80–100	High-confidence track record — consistent early entries with strong win rate
60–79	Solid performer — reliable but not yet deeply proven across many tokens
40–59	Mixed record — some good trades, notable misses or limited history
0–39	Low confidence — limited history, poor timing, or flags for bot/sybil behavior

Wallet Classification Tags

Every wallet also receives a behavioral classification tag based on its observed activity patterns:

• Early Mover — consistently enters positions before significant price moves
• Momentum Trader — enters after the initial move and rides the trend
• Liquidity Provider — primarily provides pool liquidity rather than directional trading
• Sniper/Bot — automated or near-instant entries suggesting bot activity
• Long-Term Holder — infrequent trades with long hold periods

How Scores Update

Cortex updates scores continuously as new on-chain events arrive. Early scores are based on limited history — the more a wallet trades, the more reliable its score becomes. Every wallet page displays a confidence indicator that reflects the number of events used to calculate the current score.

Cortex scoring is fully rule-based — not a black-box machine learning model. Every score is the deterministic output of the four dimensions above, applied consistently to all wallets. This means you can reason about why a score is what it is, and RetinaOS can explain it in plain language on every wallet page.

Where Scores Appear

Cortex scores surface as a badge and number on every wallet page and token page inside Retina Terminal. On token pages, you can see which top holders are high-score Early Movers and whether they are currently accumulating or exiting.
