Web3 has no shortage of loud marketing. What it lacks is trust: bots, fake engagement, unverifiable claims, and reputations that don’t travel. XION’s core thesis is that the internet needs a new base layer where truth is easily verifiable, without forcing people to expose everything about themselves.

That is the context for The Trusted 100, XION’s new ambassador program designed to reward creators for quality and real-world impact, not volume, farming, or generic “insert chain name here” content.

About Trusted 100 ambassador program

The Trusted 100 is a performance-driven creator program capped at 100 paid “Bringers.” It’s built as a meritocracy with clear competition: top performers rise, bottom performers can be rotated out.

XION rebuilt the program after noticing a common community problem: as programs scale, signal gets buried under low-effort content. The Trusted 100 is a direct response: tighter spots, stronger review, and incentives aligned with what XION claims to stand for—verification, authenticity, and professionalism.

XION’s importance on 2026

XION positions itself as “the Trust Layer for the Internet,” focused on verification infrastructure that makes authenticity provable “privately, instantly, globally.” In the same announcement, XION also points to concrete traction (brands, users, verified interactions, and revenue), reinforcing that it is targeting real adoption rather than hype cycles.

In other words, the program is not just “community marketing.” It’s XION investing in people who can translate a difficult category—verification infrastructure, zero-knowledge systems, privacy-preserving proofs—into content that regular users, builders, and brands can actually understand.

How to participate on Trusted 100: Step-by-Step guide

Step 1: Choose your “pod” and commit to quality

XION organizes creators into specialized tracks so you can lean into your strengths.

• Content Pod: threads, articles, newsletters, long-form explainers.
• Creative Pod: infographics, brand assets, memes (high-quality), visual storytelling.
• Video Pod: explainers, tutorials, short-form, interviews—anything that “moves and teaches.”

The guiding rule is consistent across pods: quality beats quantity.

Step 2: Create your application content (what to make)

On the program site, XION asks applicants to produce 2–3 pieces about XION and post them “anywhere,” showing that you understand XION’s mission and vision.

The blog post suggests portfolios typically include 3–5 of your best pieces (submitted with your application).
