Privacy-first participation

Resolve anonymously. Your name stays yours.

Built for privacy

You choose what the world sees.

Your pseudonym is your identity here. Your real name is never required to sign up, participate, earn R:IQ, or build your reputation โ€” you stay anonymous for as long as you want, indefinitely if you like.

Capabilities

What Anonymous Resolvers can and cannot do.

Can doCannot do (by design)
โœ“ Sign up and participate with no real name โ€” just a pseudonymโœ— Show verified credentials or a hireable track record to buyers (that's standard Resolver mode)
โœ“ Submit and vote on Truths under a pseudonymโœ— Access press tier or named media citations
โœ“ Earn R:IQ and advance through all tiersโœ— Use social login (defeats the anonymity layer)
โœ“ Claim paid bounties (200+ R:IQ)โœ— Submit classified or government-restricted information
โœ“ Display a verified tier badge on your pseudonym profileโœ— Revert from Public to Anonymous after transition
โœ“ Switch off Anonymous mode later (one-way only โ€” see below)โœ— Have your legal name stored on ReallySolved servers
โœ“ Use passkey / WebAuthn (biometric never leaves your device)โœ— Maintain duplicate accounts to bypass voting or tier rules
Critical disclaimer Anonymous Resolver tier is not whistleblower protection, and it is not a secure channel for sensitive material. Submitting classified or government-restricted information is prohibited by Terms of Service regardless of pseudonym. If you are a whistleblower, consult a qualified attorney before using any platform.

One-way transition out of Anonymous

You may choose to make your verified credentials and track record public โ€” switching off Anonymous mode โ€” at any time. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Your handle stays the same; what changes is that your credentials and track record become visible so buyers can hire you and you can be cited under your handle. Your legal name is still never published โ€” and it's never disclosed to the companies that engage you. Engagements run through the platform under your handle, and ReallySolved doesn't hold your legal name in the first place. R:IQ earned carries over in full.

FAQ

Common questions.

What do I need to give you to sign up?
Just an email and a pseudonym you choose. That's it. You can participate, earn R:IQ, vote on Truths, and advance through every tier with nothing else โ€” your real name is never required to take part. Many Resolvers are here for the standing and recognition and stay anonymous indefinitely.
Does anonymity affect my R:IQ earning rate?
No. R:IQ earn rates are identical whether or not you stay anonymous, and no one's legal name is ever published either way โ€” citations always use your handle. The only difference is exposure: a standard Resolver shows their verified credentials and track record (and can be cited under their handle); Anonymous Resolvers keep those private and may be cited simply as "a verified Anonymous Resolver."
Can a subpoena or legal process force you to reveal my identity?
ReallySolved does not collect or store your legal name โ€” signing up never requires it โ€” so there is nothing for a legal request directed at us to produce. If you ever choose to get paid for a bounty, that step is handled separately and privately; you can read exactly how on the payouts & privacy page.
Is biometric data stored anywhere?
No. WebAuthn/passkey enrollment uses device-side biometric โ€” the biometric data never leaves your device. The platform receives only a cryptographic attestation that you are the same person who enrolled the key. This is by design and is not reversible.
Can I have both a Public and an Anonymous account?
No. One account per person is required by the Terms of Service. Maintaining duplicate accounts to circumvent tier requirements or voting rules is a permanent ban.
What happens to my R:IQ and contributions if I switch off Anonymous mode?
All R:IQ, verified contributions, and Resolver tier status carry over fully, and you keep the same handle. What changes is that your verified credentials and track record become visible so buyers can hire you. Your legal name is still never published โ€” and it's never disclosed to the companies that engage you. Engagements run through the platform under your handle, and ReallySolved doesn't hold your legal name in the first place. The transition is permanent.
Does the platform collect IP addresses or device fingerprints?
We collect standard server logs (IP, user-agent, timestamps) for security and abuse prevention. These are governed by our Privacy Policy. Anonymous Resolver mode does not disable server-side logging; it only prevents your legal name from being stored on our systems.
