Building Your Trust Network: Maximize Your Earning Potential
Understanding the Trust Network
The Trust Network is one of Nebula Protocol's most innovative features, combining social verification with enhanced earning potential. But what exactly is it, and how can you leverage it effectively?
What is a Trust Network?
Your Trust Network (also called Security Circle) is a group of up to 5 trusted contacts who verify your identity within the Nebula ecosystem. These are real people you know—friends, family members, or colleagues—who also use Nebula Protocol.
Benefits of Building Your Trust Network
1. Increased Earning Rate Each member in your Trust Network raises your base rate, and how much depends on their verification level: a fully verified (Full KYC) member adds +20%, a partially verified member adds +10%. The circle holds up to 10 members, so the ceiling is +200%: - 1 fully verified member: +20% - 3 fully verified members: +60% - 5 fully verified members: +100% - 10 fully verified members: +200% (maximum)
Because the bonus is tied to each member's verification tier, a small circle of fully verified people is worth more than a large circle of unverified ones. Members who lose verification, get suspended, or are removed stop contributing immediately — the multiplier is recalculated server-side on every session, never trusted from the app.
2. Account Recovery Trust Network members can help you recover your account if you ever lose access, providing an additional layer of security beyond your recovery phrase.
3. Community Building A strong Trust Network creates genuine connections within the Nebula community, fostering mutual support and shared success.
How to Add Members to Your Trust Network
1. Navigate to the "Team" tab in the Nebula app 2. Tap "Add Member" 3. Enter your contact's referral code or wallet address 4. They'll receive a notification to confirm the connection 5. Once accepted, they're part of your Security Circle
Best Practices for Trust Network Building
Choose Wisely Only add people you genuinely trust. These connections serve as part of your account security, so they should be people you have real-world relationships with.
Start with Close Contacts Begin by inviting: - Family members who are interested in crypto - Close friends who understand the value proposition - Colleagues interested in passive income
Explain the Benefits When inviting someone, help them understand: - They also get to build their own Trust Network - Cloud earning is free and doesn't require investment - They can use your referral code to sign up
Be Patient Not everyone will join immediately. Give people time to research and understand Nebula Protocol before making a decision.
Referral vs. Trust Network
There's an important distinction:
- They count toward your referral stats
- They may or may not be in your Trust Network
- They provide the mining bonus
- They must confirm the connection
- Can be referrals OR existing users
Growing Your Network Sustainably
Quality Over Quantity You can only have 5 Trust Network members, so focus on people who will remain active in the Nebula ecosystem.
Mutual Benefit Remember that Trust Network connections are bidirectional—both parties benefit when one mines.
Stay Engaged Check in with your Trust Network members, share tips, and celebrate milestones together.
Maximizing Your Combined Bonuses
With a full Trust Network (10 fully verified members) and completed Full KYC, your combined bonus can reach +230% on top of your base rate — plus whatever you add from referrals, streaks, games and a premium tier. Here's how the core stack looks:
| Bonus Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Base Rate | 100% |
| Trust Network (10 verified members) | +200% |
| Full KYC Verification | +30% |
| **Total Earning Rate** | **330%** |
The Rate Composition panel in the app shows exactly which of these are active on your account right now, so you can see what a new member or a completed verification actually adds before you chase it.
