Trying to find out more about Ethos Network - Part 1

A few weeks ago a friend mentioned having used Ethos for a while now.

Strange how it had not come up before.
I was supposed to receive an invite code, but did not receive it.

So, with all the distractions around, it slipped my mind.

But today I remembered it again.

Ethos

A Greek word. Ήθος

Ethos (ἦθος) in English means character, moral nature, or the guiding beliefs and values that shape a person, community, or culture. It reflects the spirit behind actions — not just what someone does, but why they do it.

The word comes from Ancient Greek philosophy, especially from Aristotle. In his work Rhetoric, Aristotle described ethos as one of the three pillars of persuasion (along with logos and pathos). For him, ethos referred to the credibility and moral character of the speaker, because people are more likely to trust someone they see as ethical and trustworthy. Over time, the meaning expanded beyond rhetoric to describe the core values and spirit of a group, movement, or era, like “the entrepreneurial ethos” or “the ethos of Web3.”

In short: Ethos = the character and values that define identity and build trust.
