UTU

UTU is a trust network for individuals who want network-based reviews and safety signals when browsing the web, transacting online, or using Web3 apps.

Key capabilities include:

• Social-network trust graph: Connect social media accounts to build a personal trust network and earn UTU Trust Tokens (UTT) as non-transferable reputation.
• Network-only recommendations: View feedback exclusively from real people in a user’s network, avoiding anonymous reviews and bot manipulation.
• Review and endorse many entity types: Leave staked feedback on websites and pages, on-chain addresses (wallets, tokens, dapps), Mpesa Paybill and Till numbers, plus places, phone numbers, emails, and other identifiers.
• Web and wallet protection surfaces: Use a Chrome browser extension for browsing, d-app connection context, and “review to earn”, plus a MetaMask Snap that adds network-driven insights for connect, send, sign, and swap actions.

Available on Web (app.utu.io), Chrome Browser Extension, and MetaMask Snap.

Target audience: B2C users in Africa and other high-growth markets who want social-proof-based trust for online interactions, mobile money identifiers, and Web3 activity.

Notable in the region, the product is built by a Nairobi, Kenya-based company and supports local trust use cases such as Mpesa Paybill and Till number reviews, alongside multi-chain Web3 contexts.
