Distributed applications lack reliable means of verifying the trustworthiness of their users and blockchain users have little information regarding the trustworthiness of distributed applications. EOShield was an hackathon competition entry at the 2018 EOS Global Hackathon which demonstrated the creation of a PKI-inspired distributed trust model to reduce risk on DApp ecosystems.

The project was pitched as a business but is currently a side project which may see open-source release to the EOS community.
