A hop is one step through the transaction graph. It does not prove personal contact or ownership. How the trace works

      We suggest a clean pseudonym when one is available. Keep it, shuffle it, or type your own. A real name is not required. Use 3–24 letters or numbers, separated only by single spaces or hyphens.

      Preview exactly what becomes public: your public name; degree and current rank; the month the address was first observed on-chain; its placement after genesis and observed span; the Satoshi-lineage connection month; the dates the profile entered the community record and the current address was added; and the methodology, artifact, and block-height snapshot. The address and email do not become public.

      The address is always hidden. Before publishing, the server validates the saved address, recomputes its score from the active artifact, and rejects known or cataloged addresses. Even with the address hidden, this combination of month-level history, archive dates, degree, and rank may help someone correlate the profile with public blockchain data. This profile is submitted from an email-confirmed account. Degrees of Satoshi does not verify who owns or controls the Bitcoin address.

      Degrees of Satoshi will never ask you to connect a wallet, sign a message, or provide a private key or seed phrase.

      Free for now. The one-time community contribution is currently waived. Publishing never buys placement, changes rank, or verifies identity or address control.
