How far we've come
Trusta gets warmer, faster, and more useful with every season — and it grows with the people who use it. Here's the story so far, newest first. Scroll down to see where it all began.
- July 2026Latest
Grow your circle, one deal at a time
Trusta is best with the people you already trust — so we made it effortless to keep them close, and to bring new ones in.
Save the people you trust
Met someone you'd happily deal with again? Save them to your people, and they're one tap away next time — no searching, no retyping a name.
Seal again in a single tap
Had a good deal with someone before? Start your next one with them instantly, straight from your last receipt or their profile.
Invite the other person, right from the deal
If the person you're dealing with isn't on Trusta yet, send them a friendly invite from inside the deal. They arrive ready to seal it with you — and your circle grows.
A nudge to introduce the right people
When your community is looking for a skill you know someone great for, Trusta gently suggests you make the introduction.

Deals that fit real life
The way you actually make deals — over a call, across town, or face to face — now fits neatly into Trusta.
Online and phone deals, not just face-to-face
Agreed on something over a call or the internet? Mark your deal as online, so your record reflects exactly how it happened.
Reach the right person, faster
Start typing a name and Trusta finds them for you, with a gentle "did you mean…?" so you never seal with the wrong person by mistake.
Talk it through until you both agree
Want to tweak a detail? Propose a change and reply back and forth in one clear thread — so you both land on terms you're happy with before you seal.
Faster, and lighter on your data
Trusta now loads quicker and uses less of your data, so it feels smooth even on a slow connection.

A home that celebrates your momentum
Open Trusta and feel the movement — your own progress, and the whole community's, brought to life.
A home made for you
Your home now greets you with where you're at and what's worth doing next — with a separate Community view for the bigger picture.
See Trusta come alive
Watch a live pulse of deals being sealed across the community, with satisfying flip-board counters that tick up as trust grows.
Progress you can feel
Warm, gentle animations mark each step forward, so building your reputation feels as good as it looks.

Find — and remember — people you trust
Discovering someone dependable, and keeping them close, is now part of everyday Trusta.
Browse people by what they do
Looking for a tailor, a mechanic, or someone to lend to? Browse people by skill and see who your community already trusts.
Heart the people you trust
Tap the heart on anyone's profile to keep them in your favourites — a private shortlist of people you'd gladly deal with again.
Profiles worth showing off
Earned badges, full-screen photos, and a clean profile make it easy to recognise the real, trusted person behind the handle.

Seal from a profile, and climb your reputation
Your good name is the whole point of Trusta — so we made it easier to earn, to see, and to share.
Start a deal straight from a profile
See someone you want to deal with? A glowing "Seal a deal" button on their profile gets you started in seconds.
Climb the trust bands
Every sealed deal and honest reflection moves you up the reputation ladder — and now you can see exactly how close you are to the next band.
Carry your Trust Passport
Show your reputation anywhere with a shareable Trust Passport — proof you're worth doing business with, that travels with you.
- June 2026
Easier to join, easier to share
We smoothed out the very first steps — and made it simple to bring your people along.
Verify in a few taps
Confirm your email with a short code right inside Trusta — no hunting through your inbox, no leaving the app.
A name and handle that's truly yours
Pick your own username with helpful suggestions, and everyone's country shows in plain, full language — so Trusta feels like home wherever you are.
Bring people with you
Share your personal invite link to grow your circle. When a friend joins through you and starts sealing deals, the whole network becomes more trustworthy.

Proof you can hold, and a promise to keep people safe
Trust means little without proof — and without safety. Both got a lot stronger this season.
See your deal on the blockchain
Every sealed deal is written to the blockchain, and now you can verify it right inside the app — permanent proof that can't be quietly changed.
Scan a receipt to check it's real
Point your camera at a Trusta receipt's code to instantly confirm it's genuine — handy before you take a stranger's claim at their word.
A clear commitment to keeping people safe
We published our Child Safety Standards and made it simple to report anything that doesn't belong — because trust has to be safe for everyone.

Trusta lands on Android — in your pocket, in your language
The moment Trusta went truly mobile, and truly multilingual.

Speaks your language — 18 and counting

Never miss a moment
Get a gentle notification the instant someone sends you a deal or seals one with you — so nothing sits waiting.

A beautiful receipt for every deal
Trusta grew into the warm, paper-receipt look it wears today — and the way two people agree became a real conversation.
The Receipt look, everywhere
Trusta's whole design bloomed into the warm, tactile "receipt" feel — every screen crafted to make a simple agreement feel special.
Agree together, as two
Propose, review, counter, agree — sealing a deal became a genuine two-way handshake, with each receipt kept private to just the two of you.
Keep a receipt you can share
Download a clean PDF of any sealed deal, or share a link to your public receipt — proof, in a form you can hold or send.

Trusta goes live — seal your first deal
The very first public Trusta: a place to turn a handshake into a shared receipt.
Seal your first agreement

Your reputation starts here
From your very first sealed deal, Trusta begins building the reputation that follows your good name.
Works offline, in your language
Built for the real world from day one — Trusta keeps working even when the network drops, and launched speaking 13 languages.

The idea: a shared receipt for every handshake
Where it all began.
A receipt for the informal economy
Trusta started with a simple belief: the countless deals sealed with a handshake deserve a record, and the people who keep their word deserve to be recognised for it.
Designed to feel like trust
From the very first sketch, Trusta was built around the honest, familiar feel of a paper receipt — warm, plain, and made for everyone.
The next update
is your first deal
Trusta gets better every week — and it's better with you in it. Seal a deal, save the people you trust, and invite someone to grow the circle.
