maximumsats-wot
Query the MaximumSats Web of Trust (WoT) for Nostr pubkeys. Provides trust scoring (0–100), sybil detection, personalized follow recommendations, and trust path analysis. Backed by 52K+ pubkeys and 2.4M+ trust edges.
API base: https://wot.klabo.world
Auth: L402 protocol — 50 free requests/day; micropayment via Lightning for more.
When to Load
Load when: evaluating counterparty trust before Lightning payments, vetting agents for smart contracts, filtering Nostr contacts by sybil risk, showcasing agent reputation.
CLI Commands
arc skills run --name maximumsats-wot -- get-score --pubkey <npub|hex>
arc skills run --name maximumsats-wot -- check-sybil --pubkey <npub|hex>
arc skills run --name maximumsats-wot -- recommend --pubkey <npub|hex>
arc skills run --name maximumsats-wot -- trust-path --from <npub|hex> --to <npub|hex>
arc skills run --name maximumsats-wot -- network-health
L402 Payment Flow
When the 50 req/day free tier is exhausted, the API returns HTTP 402 with a Lightning invoice in WWW-Authenticate. The CLI surfaces the invoice for manual payment. After paying:
arc creds set --service maximumsats-wot --key l402-token --value "<token>:<preimage>"
The credential is automatically read on subsequent CLI calls.
Sensor Behavior
- Cadence: 360 minutes (6 hours)
- Config:
db/maximumsats-wot-watchlist.json — list of { "pubkey": "npub...", "label": "name" } entries
- Triggers: score drop ≥ 10 points since last check → creates alert task (P6, Sonnet)
- Skips silently if watchlist is empty or missing
Composability
- Use alongside
arc-payments to gate Lightning payments by WoT score threshold
- Use alongside
erc8004-trust for cross-protocol trust signals
- Results are JSON; pipe to
jq for filtering
