Peer Mountain is a mobile-first distributed system of trust. It uses cryptographic protocols to allow people and institutions to create and own a trusted record that encompasses digital identity, trust relationships, and proof of activities. System members own and control their data; they decide who can access it, as their information remains inaccessible and unexposed to third parties at all times. Merchants get real time compliance and regulatory certainty. And trusted third parties get paid to facilitate trust.
PMTN is the first enterprise commodity token that powers the Peer Mountain ecosystem, rewarding the most trustworthy and reliable peers.
Research on distributed hash tables (Kademlia) with personal realm based security (Kerberos) sparks the idea to design a system of trust management that works for the human scale.<br />
